Author Topic: cue marks on Pokemon 2000 Dave Ganoe Expert Film Handler Posts: 119 From: Point Marion, PA Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-06-2000 08:28 AM                     Anyone notice cue marks, much smaller than at the actual reel changes, in the middle of each 2000' reel? Last night was the first time I noticed them when running the movie.  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 10-06-2000 08:36 AM                     Maybe they run 1000' changeovers in Japan?  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

(1000ft) One reel normally is 2 or 3 parts. (2000ft) Reel 1 consists normally of Part 1A and Part 1B or in Asia Reel 1 and Reel 2. That's why you do have the cues.  |  IP: Logged John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 10-07-2000 07:21 AM                     I thought the "1A" and the "1B" referred to the A and B rolls, where every other shot is put on it's own roll (with slugging in between.) True?  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 10-07-2000 07:30 AM                       That's for hiding splices in 16mm, John. The A and B sections of a reel are a holdover from the single reel days (1,000 ft., or "cartoon" reels, as I used to call 'em). These are also the same size reels used in production today... editors assemble the movie on them. I do not know at what point in the process they are put into 2,000 ft. sections, however. 2,000 ft. capacity reels came on the scene sometime in the late 20s or early 30s, and were referred to as "double reels". ------------------ Better Projection Pays!  |  IP: Logged
