Author Topic: Scratched rolling stock? Christopher Meredith Expert Film Handler Posts: 126 From: Jackson, MS, USA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 03-15-2007 01:02 PM                        This may only affect a certain number of theater which even use rolling stock, but has anyone noticed a contant yellow sratch on the left third of the frame running all the way through the Flat version of the 30-second Discovery Channel ads provided by National Cinemedia? We received 8 or so such ads and every single one of them has the identical scratch, making me think it was printed this way. Perhaps these were special release ads meant to run in front of GRINDHOUSE?  |  IP: Logged Chad M Calpito Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: San Diego, CA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 03-15-2007 03:37 PM                        Even though I don't use National CineMedia Rolling Stock, but, use Screen Vision Rolling Stock, if I were in your situation, I would contact National CineMedia about this and see what the deal is and if they could send replacements to you.  |  IP: Logged Christopher Meredith Expert Film Handler Posts: 126 From: Jackson, MS, USA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 03-15-2007 03:47 PM                        Oh, I did that already and have the replacements on screen. I was mainly wanting to find out how widespread the problem is and perhaps alert folks to the problem who weren't aware of it.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

If the advertising company cannot be bothered to send out non-defective ads, then I see no reason to go to any extraordinary effort to obtain replacements. It's easier just to not show them, and I'm sure that it makes the customers happy.  |  IP: Logged
