Author Topic: Moulin Rouge Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 10-20-2001 12:21 PM                     The BBFC www.bbfc.co.uk puts this at 127m 42seconds  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 01-27-2002 05:23 PM                     Ok I just ran this no attached Trailer And NO SDDS track (must be some non-SDDS prints floating around. Also to point about the 8-9 reel change. Reel 8 fades to black (faint framelines present i think and cue-marks) but there is no fade in at the start of reel 9. Reel 9 starts immediately with a faint green image in the frame (an id frame can be left on the header for this). The reels are small. The first hour of the film runs at about 5 and a half reels.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

And it looked ok on screen so that suggested to me that i wasn't missing any footage at the start of the reel.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-29-2002 03:26 AM                     Actually, if you look real closely at the start of reel 9, there isn't actually a *complete* fade in from black. The picture does give the *illusion* of fading in as the splice passes(assuming no ID frame was cut off), but close examination reveals it is missing a frame or two of *almost black* to be a true fade in.  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 01-29-2002 03:29 AM                     yes, its kind of a green glow in the center of the frame.  |  IP: Logged Michael Goucher Film Handler Posts: 34 From: New York, NY USA Registered: Oct 1999 posted 01-29-2002 12:13 PM                        I believe the actual visual effect Baz Luhrman was looking for was of a mechanical changeover to the credits reel, even though 99% of the time the picture will be platter mounted. This is in keeping with the "antique" look of the overall film.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-29-2002 12:32 PM                     Hmmm, so Baz was intentionally trying to give that look of a changeover where the incoming projector was cued down too far, eh? Steve, ya out there?  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 03-07-2002 01:37 PM                     I remembered. My Print also had 3 lab splices (non on the frame line, 2 were bang in the middle of the frame) in the 1st half of reel 1  |  IP: Logged Michael Goucher Film Handler Posts: 34 From: New York, NY USA Registered: Oct 1999 posted 03-07-2002 01:47 PM                        Did you notice any loss of sound continuity--which would mean there was an actual "patch" made to repair a rip or something? Perhaps if there was no such disruption the print was printed on short ends or remainders spliced together in the darkroom. Many times short ends are used to save money.  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 03-07-2002 02:10 PM                     It was a bit of a time ago. But i dont think there were any sound issues.  |  IP: Logged
