Author Topic: Russian Ark Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-07-2003 12:05 AM                        5 reels flat/1.85 SRD no depot (print shipped directly to theatre) laser-burned subtitles (on US prints) no attached/enclosed trailers Eastman 2383 print stock hand-scratched cue marks Entire film is one continuous shot; do not leave any frames attached to leaders when running on large reels or platters. (Someone apparently decided that my print [#11] should have 2-4 reference frames attached to every head and tail leader....) All reels end with a few frames of black followed by a few frames of a non-standard version of LAD girl. [ 03-07-2003, 02:12 PM: Message edited by: Scott Norwood ]  |  IP: Logged Elena N.

USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-24-2003 11:54 AM                        "LAD girl" is a reference used by US labs to ensure consistency in the printing process. It has a picture of a girl and some blocks of different colors along the sides and edges. John Pytlak won an Academy Award for developing the process for Kodak.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 03-24-2003 03:45 PM                        "LAD Girl" and how it is used to control color: http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/support/h61/  |  IP: Logged
