Author Topic: Tuxedo Print Problem Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 09-29-2002 04:55 AM                        Has anyone else had any trouble focusing thier print of "The Tuxedo"? We had a few complaints today all during different shows but everytime we looked at it it was fine??? we had 2 managers and 3 staff people look at it just to make sure and everyone said it was fine? Could it be that some of the scenes are just focused poorly? Was the focus puller taking a nap or something during production? We even re focused the lamp to make sure that we were not hot spotting the print at all? Anyone else have any trouble? even though i dont think its the equipemt here it is for good measure: Century SA Projector XETRON 2000 watt XCN Console Neumade Neutronic Platter  |  IP: Logged Dave Williams Wet nipple scene Posts: 1836 From: Salt Lake City, UT, USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 09-29-2002 05:55 AM                        I am guessing that they had a bad focus puller. Either that or bad directorial decisions. OR.... that some patrons just do not know the difference between artistic view and focus. Some directors like to take a shot or two slightly out of focus. It's an art thing. Maybe sit through this movie and see if you can see what they are complaining about.

Lots of prints lately seems to have this problem. Maybe it's a lab thing.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 09-29-2002 07:45 PM                        The print of "The Tuxedo" I saw had no focus issues that I picked up on. The print was pretty much flawless: no lab splices; sharp; good color & contrast.  |  IP: Logged
