But something still had to be wrong, so they sent it out in standard instead of scope  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

For example, the Fox tag on the start of The Heat runs through at 7.5 then drops back to the feature volume at the end of it.  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

I always cranked up the logo (we do level checks for the room) and rolled it down for the feature....The client from Fox would always remark on how great his print(s) sounded compared to other locations.  |  IP: Logged Jeff Taylor Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 601 From: Chatham, NJ/East Hampton, NY Registered: Apr 2000 posted 07-31-2013 09:04 AM                     ...especially with that wonderful Cinemascope extention.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 07-31-2013 11:52 AM                     MGM's lately has been the only one with any sort of meatiness to it. Leo never sounded better. What I'd love to see is Warner Bros. return to the original fanfare from the golden age, akin to what was used on Casablanca. No, not the As Time Goes By one they've used recently.

Remember when Columbia went to that awful half-circle thing for a while? Or United Artists with their bent-over U forming into an A? I like the Universal logo from the 70s a lot... it was just silent and majestic. Of the current stuff I tend to like Universal's music the best, and Paramount's skimming-stars graphics. But it's hard to top Fox's for pure classic-ness. Except of course the MGM lion. It's in a class by itself.  |  IP: Logged Alan Plester Expert Film Handler Posts: 209 From: great yarmouth england Registered: Apr 2001 posted 08-07-2013 03:27 PM                     only one way to play that, LOUD...fell in love as a kid,and still does it for me,best logo in the biz.  |  IP: Logged
