Author Topic: Does your National Security print have the credits spliced on? Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 01-17-2003 12:03 PM                    Topic title says it all. Our print came in and as I slowed down to remove what I thought would be one of those ugle lab cement splices, I came across an ugly 8 sprocket tape splice between (I guess) the last frame of the movie, and the black at the start of the credits. The sound track looked like it lined up ok, so I just retaped it cleanly and let it go. Anyone else have that on their print? I've seen lab tape splices before of course, just not in an obviously exact spot like that. Makes me thing something was changed in the credits or something.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 01-17-2003 02:48 PM                        Last minute changes can sometimes result in the release prints being edited, with splices made in the lab ("positive assembly") or film exchange.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-17-2003 02:50 PM                     Not on the one I saw.  |  IP: Logged John T.

I'm pretty sure Miramax is to blame.  |  IP: Logged Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 01-20-2003 09:39 AM                    Wow. I was starting to feel discouraged for a while there! Is it possible that there was a change made somewhere in the negative/inter positive stage and some of the prints needed to be updated and others didn't?  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-20-2003 11:10 AM                     Maybe some of the reels were from bid prints. Because I have gotten bid prints with no end credits or rating tags. I have had studios send me new logos and rating tags tobe placed on screening prints.  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 03-24-2003 03:02 PM                     I just watched a print that had the SRD cut to SR for the middle of the film. Pretty much the whole of R3 I think.  |  IP: Logged
