Author Topic: Information TO post and information NOT to post System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 05-28-2014 01:30 AM                 It has been 1799 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 05-28-2014 01:30 AM                        quote: Brad Miller Please do NOT post anything that is specific to your print. In other words... *If the leaders were cut *How many ID frames there were *A scratch you saw *A specific broken reel *A bad can latch *If the print had reel bands *Your print number *Head or tail orientation *The style of MPAA rating band *Whether you got dts discs or not *If you had to wait for a security guy to unlock the padlocks *The kind of changeover cues the print had *If the print had vinegar syndrome or not (this is an especially big waste of time on a brand new print on polyester base [Roll Eyes] ) *Etc, etc, etc. Given that we're now at a stage at which few if any film prints are likely to be made anymore, and therefore the ones in circulation are the ones we're stuck with, information about the condition of specific prints, especially for older/rep titles, would now be useful, I think: it's the kind of info a programmer might want when deciding whether to book a film or a DCP in cases where both are available. So I've taken the liberty of including it on the reports of the 70mm stuff I ran over the weekend here - apologies in advance if you'd still rather not have it.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-28-2014 02:34 AM                     No I do agree with you, the rules are outdated now that film is essentially gone. Please make sure to quote print numbers however (if present).  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 10-09-2018 02:24 PM                 It has been 1595 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 10-09-2018 02:24 PM                     can folk also at this point, if it's DCP include the thread code, I like referencing and noting if a movie is 4K or 2K - the inclusion of audio info (5.1 / 7.1) is also ideal.  |  IP: Logged
