Author Topic: Peter Pan (1924) Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-12-2004 10:17 PM                        5 reels flat/1.33 - full aperture silent no track (obviously) 24fps Paramount Pictures, now distributed by Kino International "Bonded Services" depot no print number this print is a beautiful tinted print made in 1999 on color stock; it's used, but in decent shape; all reels feature a "parade of cue marks"--all Clint Phare handmade cues  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 12-09-2004 03:39 AM                        Must be Print#2 which I just ran and, as of 5 Dec 04, has maintained the same overall condition indicated by Scott, with the same 8, sometime 10 cues marks in a row for both sync start and change-over cues. I covered this obscene mutilation with Letraset line applique tape (it is just wide enough to cover the diameter of the circles); this results in what looks like the image momentarily getting narrower on the right side of the screen, like a vertical matte intruding into the picture for a second. It certainly is visible enough for a cue, but not nearly as distracting as those horrid circles dancing around like bugs (many frames had two and three circles etched on top of each other). If anyone can't deal with the line and doesn't know what to do unless he sees circles, then the applique lines can be gently and cleanly removed. But such a need denotes serious mental retardation and indicates the immediate need for medical attention as well as the removal from any booth and a restraining order keeping him at least 300 feet from any print. Same goes for the orangutan who so etched this very nice looking print.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 12-10-2004 11:56 PM                    I just saw this outside Chicago. Unfortunately it was shown with what looked like a Scope plate not full width so there was some left side loss of credits at the start. Inter-titles through the film were fine and didn't even seem off-center. Not sure why.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 12-13-2004 02:01 AM                        With the Simplex 35, all I had to do to correct for proper centerline was to adjust the lens shift screw. The theatre you saw it in might have done the same - Centuries have that adjustment to, although I've seen guys just kick the whole projector over a tad. If you have a common height design, the primary lens in the scope lens/attachment should be the exact FL that is needed for silent full frame. I just unscrewed the ISCO anamorphic attachments; all I had to do was to file 2 new scope plates to accomodate the wider image. If you have single piece combo anamorphics, you're stuck. You've gotta hunt around for the proper additional flat lenses.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 12-13-2004 06:57 PM                    I meant centered in the projected aperture, not where it was on the screen.  |  IP: Logged
