I'm just wondering if any of you got a hold of one of the 50 "Finding Nemo Focus Loops" that were sent out with Dolby Select Prints... Dolby Select Prints: All reels are graded "A" or "B", with stickers on each reel with pertinent lab information (there can be only minor positive or negative dirt for a "B" graded reel, nothing distracting), and all reels are within one point, plus or minus, from the approved color reference.
The "Loop" isn't really a loop, but it is pretty cool. The Pixar guys, wanting to go the extra mile, made an image, with a 1:85 framing border, and a Fresnel Focus Target in the center. It has "Bruce the Shark" in the top, right portion of the image, and Bruce smiles as the film rolls. There were two, attached to each other, that went in every can that had a Select Print.
We were hoping they would be played at least once before being taken home...
Anyway, anybody get one?
Yours, Ted

....................you lucky, lucky guys, you get all the free goodies!!! My friend, Less Mature, the (feature film) bootlegger , didn't get a focus loop with his 35mm pirated copy of Nemo, He was rather upset, not too many perks in the boot business, I guess.
John P. this is just a joke, OK......

Hooray! Somebody got one. Michael Schaffer, let the e-bay bidding war begin (ha, ha).
Michael, did it help in any way? Was it at least cool? Did it achieve the psyhcological goal of, "I'll try it out, and maybe, the theatre operator will take a little extra time to make sure the feature is presented correctly." If they don't already.
You didn't say anything about it, and feedback from the guys in the trenches is vital. Let me know what you think.
I wish you all flawless presentations.
Yours, Ted
