Author Topic: Ready Player 1 in 5/70mm Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-16-2018 09:49 PM                        quote: Bill Brandenstein Scott, just curious: why the clockwise rotation orientation of the 70mm supply reel? It is the head operator's preference. That theatre runs everything emulsion-in.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-17-2018 02:36 AM                     quote: Monte L Fullmer But, a genuine 5/70mm presentation would be using changeover with carbon arc lamphouses, like the Ashcraft SuperCorelite, Peerless Hycadecent, and the Futura II of Strong. ..and DP70's, or AA-2 for us stateside uers. We could throw in the Century JJ and the Bauer U2. Monte, these 70mm prints are timed for xenon light. Running on a carbon arc lamphouse would be the INCORRECT way to present it. Also the notion that a presentation isn't proper if it isn't done via changeovers is absurd. A PROPER presentation would be to show every frame of the movie. A PROPER presentation would be to not have any sort of color temperature shift at the reel changes. I could sit here and debate this with you, but its been done countless times before. There is nothing about a changeover presentation that a platter presentation cannot do better. Time to wake up from that brain coma. Please stop spreading such nonsense.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blasko Film Handler Posts: 15 From: Lakewood, Ohio Registered: Aug 2006 posted 04-02-2018 08:14 PM                     So, I need to ask the awkward question. Was anyone else really disappointed in this 70mm? Saw at the Gateway in Columbus OH. Presentation was great, but I would have preferred digital. Very low resolution print IMHO.  |  IP: Logged Julian Antos Film Handler Posts: 76 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Nov 2009 posted 04-03-2018 01:20 PM                     I don't have any issues with the resolution, though I suppose it's hard to say since it's mostly a cartoon. The color and contrast is great, and the live action stuff looks sharp to my eye.  |  IP: Logged
