Trailers for "The Bachelor" labeled "scope" are scope. Trailers for "The Bachelor" labeled "flat" are scope. Check 'em before you load 'em up!  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-28-1999 01:25 AM                        So which ones are the flat ones? Are they the ones labled "16mm"?  |  IP: Logged Erika Hellgren Expert Film Handler Posts: 168 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-28-1999 02:03 PM                     On the subject of The Bachelor trailers, has anyone else noticed that the picture jumps up and down eratically during the first half? It's terrible. I'm surprised no customers have complained about it yet. Of course, it's only playing on Dog Park, which has no customers, so maybe that's why.  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 09-14-2002 05:29 PM                     The were some trailers for I think it was Roberto Succo. Where the image jumps up and down, as it the projectionist is moving the frame line knob up and down. BUT the subtitles remain rock steady and you can see the background moving 'behind' the subtitles.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-16-2002 02:43 PM                        Hmmmm, I guess John Pytlak is going to have to coin a new phrase..."lab printing done right."  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 09-16-2002 03:00 PM                        Continuous contact printers are optimized to print a "short pitch" original (e.g., BH-1866 perforations) to a long pitch master positive (e.g. DH-1870 perforations) or print film (KS-1870 perforations). Slower pin-registered step printing should be used if this short pitch / long pitch relationship cannot be maintained. But occasionally, tight production schedules force labs to contact print all stages of duplication, with the resulting printer slippage causing unsteadiness or loss of sharpness: http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/support/h1/sizesP.shtml#perfs http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/support/h1/printingP.shtml#p http://www.kodak.com/country/US/en/motion/support/technical/perforations.shtml Laser subtitles are usually etched into the processed print in a pin-registered system. So movement can occur between the titles and the picture, which may have unsteadiness from continuous contact printing every stage of duplication. ------------------ John P.
