Author Topic: Strange feel to Dreamgirls Print Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 01-12-2007 08:52 AM                    Did anyone else notice a strange feel to the film of their Dreamgirls print? Usually when we get a new print that's printed on Agfa film, I can tell right away that it's Agfa by how it feels, and this film felt a lot like that, but it's actually Kodak film. Maybe there's some coating on it or something?  |  IP: Logged Kevin Raisler Film Handler Posts: 52 From: Warsaw, IN, USA Registered: Jun 2003 posted 01-14-2007 10:30 PM                    Mark, I did notice the Emulsion being a little bit more tacky (sticky) than usual the biggest dissapointment for me was the fact that our print came with 5 lab splices which sucks!

Our print of "Last King of Scotland" was lab splice free in all 7 reels - but "The Hitcher" had lab splices in 3 of the 5 reels. What really gets me is when there is a lab splice 10 feet from the end (or head) of a reel.  |  IP: Logged
