Author Topic: The Corporation REEL ID Help Joshua Lott Expert Film Handler Posts: 246 From: Fairbanks, AK, USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 08-31-2004 08:14 PM                        Does anyone here have any idea how I can get the reel ids for this film. Today I got a call from a client and I went to look at the print and found that the reels lack ID's. I have print number 7 and it looks like all identifiers have been cut off. I only took a brief look at the film. It was wound tail out. I will probably find the reel numbers on the head of each reel when I go back tommorow. But in the mean time I was wondering if any one has those IDs for a back up.

The phone number is likely on the film case labels. Or call the distributor, Zeitgeist Films.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

So, if there are leaders, just match the soundtracks.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 09-01-2004 08:17 AM                     And if the soundtracks aren't enough for you to match up, match up the unique ID on the filmstock edge codes.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 09-01-2004 09:09 AM                        quote: Brad Miller ...match up the unique ID on the filmstock edge codes Assuming it's on recent Kodak or Fuji print film: [ 09-01-2004, 03:50 PM: Message edited by: Brad Miller ]  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Fuentes Mmmm, Dr. Pepper!
