Well seeing as I literally wrote down 1.6 as in 1 foot 6 inches instead of.....ah hell I don't give a shit anymore....  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-12-2014 09:05 AM                      |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

Could be 5/70 using DTS, or even CDS due to the lack of magnetic striping. Or, 8/70 Megasystem, which then could come close to the "80 minutes" topic. Was that Standard Procedure to use White Shoe Polish when Plattering up Reels from a MUT?(35mm/70mm) The Film Exchange didn't mind this when you sent the Film Back to them.  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

If those white areas are the reel joins I wonder why they're marked for so many frames at each join? It's not like you need to find the reel joins anyway once the print is assembled - it's never going to be taken apart again - it will ship intact. But even if you ever have to, the reel joins are pretty easy to see - no need to mark the join. But if you have to, and you're not doing ultrasonic, you can use splice tape. But shoe polish??? Never! Never! Never! Never! Never! I've seen poor operators use a China marker to mark the start frame and the roll back frame for threading. That marker crap really makes a mess in the film path and the field flattener quartz and wipers that requires extra effort to clean before threading the next show. We marked those frames (start and rollback) too, but used tinted splice tape. No dirt that way! Still have to clean the path before threading, but it goes much easier. Again, shoe polish? Never! Never! Never! Never! Never!  |  IP: Logged
