Earlier this week, I did a special 35mm screening of "The Judge".
(Ironically, some of the people attending were actually judges!)
It was a change-over show. Almost everything was fine until the last reel.
As the credits were rolling, it suddenly looked like someone was playing with the framing knob. First they began to move down, then up, than half-way down again before they came to rest. Everything from that point on (Including the WB logo & ratings tag) was out of frame.
The image was "off" by about perfsworth.
It was a new "lab fresh" print, & there were no splices in the credits.
Im guessing that either the negative or the print stock slipped in the printer when they were making the print.
ALSO- - Reel 3 was printed SLIGHTLY out of frame. The frame line wasn't exactly where it was supposed to be, so I had to do some minor re-framing when I did the change-over. Then, I had to re-frame back a bit when I went to the next reel on that machine. (Reel 5) So "3" had some sort of error too.
It wasn't too bad- - just a bit of black frame-line at the bottom of the screen that wasn't there on any of the other reels. Examining the print after the show, I could see the FL wasn't printed exactly where it shouldda been.
(To be technically accurate: the ENTIRE FRAME wasn't where it should have been. So that meant the frame-lines were off too)
Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera or camera-phone with me, or I'd have some pix to show. I guess good lab talent & QC are disappearing,
or maybe "that ship has already sailed" - - -
Anybody else running "The Judge" in 35mm? I'm wondering if all the prints are this way, or only mine. (Which is probably the case)
I assume the DCP's are OK.
