Brad brings up an interesting question: if one gets a print without cue marks, is it better to make temporary cues (stickers, splicing/edgemark tape, grease pencil dots, etc.) or permanent cues (with a Clint Phare device)?
Generally, I will use the Clint Phare, on the assumption that it's better to add permanent cues "properly" than to risk the print going to a house without a Clint Phare device where someone might use a hole punch or other inappropriate tool to add cues.
On the other hand, I agree that many prints may never play in a changeover house again (or, if they do, they might be shown on large reels, where cues aren't necessary every 20 minutes). Thus, for once-only shows, I've occasionally used a grease pencil to add (messy, but easily removable) cue marks, though I might have to pick up some of the edgemark tape. Does the edgemark tape work on 16mm, too?
I don't personally find properly made cues to be distracting (unless there is more than one pair per reel), but I can see why others might. I've probably spent more time (hours) running platter houses, but the vast majority of theatres where I have worked (over the last five years or so) have had changeover booths, so I can definitely see both sides to this.
Thoughts?
