Author Topic: Fast Runner (Atanarjuat) Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-03-2002 01:17 AM                        Lot 47 Films unknown depot (my print was shipped directly from the lab) 9 reels (last is short) Flat/1.85 (hard matte-shot on Digital Betacam) SRD Magno Lab-Link (NYC) lab (tho some leaders say "Color by Deluxe"; perhaps they did the IP/IN and Magno did the prints?) first frame of R4 has timecode burn-in - don't show this frame and check other reels as well (R4 is the only one I noticed) no attached/enclosed trailers This film was my most recent example of "film shipping done wrong": film film was wound on lab cores and each "reel" was placed in a plastic bag (they didn't even use lab cans). All nine "reels" (cores) arrived in a very flimsy and totally destroyed cardboard box which will need to be replaced before this print can be shipped out. Fortunately, the film does not appear to have been damaged due to rough handling.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 07-07-2002 02:31 PM                    Scott said: >Fortunately, the film does not appear to have been damaged >due to rough handling. No? Just look at their teeth.

It is 1.66:1 flat, not 1.85:1. It's hard matted to 825x461; 1.85 is x446. 1.66:1 is x491. (Well, I suppose you should really run it in 1.75:1, x471, but I doubt many have lenses and apertures). Mine appears to be Deluxe Toronto. Fujicolor stock. And of course SR/SRD (I suppose this is implied when you just say SRD, but it's nicer to be more complete).  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 11-09-2002 08:27 PM                    It was shot on 1.78:1 Digi-Beta. My notes say I played it 1.85. The fact that the image height is less than 1.66 suggests that it isn't for 1.66 projection (although the reverse may not be necessarily true). One presumes the 1.78 image was composed with 1.85 projection in mind but then again with video-shmideo maybe they believed everyone would buy lenses and plates for 1.78. Seemed fine at 1.85, though.  |  IP: Logged
