Author Topic: Sound track on Legend of Drunken Master Tom Kroening Expert Film Handler Posts: 214 From: Janesville, WI USA Registered: Oct 1999 posted 10-17-2000 03:57 PM                     The print that I built up today has a sound track that seems to fade in and fade it. It was extremely noticable on the end of reel 4 where it faded completely clear for a foot. Anyone else have this problem at all?  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-17-2000 07:36 PM                     The Legend of Drunken Master is a rerelease of Drunken Master that was released in 1979. They have redubbed the film and one would not expect the sound problems that you had. The Legend of Drunken Master is a story of a real person who died in 1927 and is concidered something of "Robin Hood" in China. It is said that this is Jacki Chan's best work. Perhaps it will be better than his last release.  |  IP: Logged Tom Kroening Expert Film Handler Posts: 214 From: Janesville, WI USA Registered: Oct 1999 posted 10-17-2000 11:20 PM                     Im really wondering why TES delivered it to me on a Tuesday....

Didn't get my print on a Tuesday. Let us all know how it sounds in the screening.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-18-2000 02:04 AM                     Please post the print information in the "Feature info and trailer attachments" forum. Is there a digital track of any kind on the print?  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 10-26-2000 07:25 AM                        Motion picture prints are printed from TWO negatives - the picture negative and the sound negative. The sound negative is printed with separately controlled light sources for the analog/DTS, Dolby Digital and SDDS sound tracks. If the analog track "faded completely clear for a foot", it's likely that the printer light source used for this track failed briefly. If you find this during print inspection, ask for a replacement reel immediately. ------------------ John P.

I have often found such things near lab splices. That's why I'm so adamant about telling people to check their prints and at the VERY LEAST, make sure those splices aren't messed up.  |  IP: Logged
