Check out this, reel 5 of Chocolat:
Neat eh? I also like how in the middle of the reel-shortly after this-the framing 'shifts' up like someone is turning the framing knob.I haven't looked at the heads and tails yet (didn't build this one) but being a Miramax print, I smell Deluxe Hollywood.
I say go digital

Methinks the unexposed print stock jumped off the picture printing sprocket on the printer, and then reseated itself. When the negative and print films are not in contact, much of the light doesn't reach the print film, producing the underexposed light frames. Jumping the sprocket may shift the framing. The soundtrack is printed on a different head on the printer, so it is likely okay. Obviously, demand a replacement reel.------------------

Demanded and recieved-at five to one on Saturday afternoon. Our next show was at one ten. Two reels off, then two back one, all in fifteen minutes. I tell you that MUT was a flying-but I got it done in time.

Hmmmmm, a Wednesday delivery would've meant you could've made the 1:10 showing on OPENING DAY and not have had to present a defective print for it's premiere.Aww hell, what do I know.
