Author Topic: Shortbus (2006) Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 07-26-2006 08:31 PM                     Think Films Flat 1.85 SRD / SR 7 Reels Deluxe TES NOTE: Reel 1 is a half reel and reel 7 is 1/8 of a reel with end credits. Also Beware of extra Low sub action, twice in the film. Another thing to watch out for is making the first cut before the ThinkFilm logo, there is audio a few frames before it.

If so, this may be a problem....  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 10-05-2006 04:14 PM                     The original answer prints came from DuArt with a regular SRD / SR track. The release prints that we handled are from Deluxe Toronto and it was a regular track too.  |  IP: Logged Patrick Matthews Film Handler Posts: 86 From: Kansas City, MO, USA Registered: Sep 2004 posted 10-05-2006 04:14 PM                     On my notes I have from a press screening I ran a few weeks ago I do not show it was cyan.  |  IP: Logged John Koutsoumis Master Film Handler Posts: 261 From: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Aug 2003 posted 10-06-2006 10:11 PM                     I can't recall where the print I screened was struck but I make no mistake, it was a cyan track. May have being a different batch or different lab.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

If you do this (or make it up for platter use) be careful when cutting the tail of R6; there is no obvious place to cut and finding it requires matching up the soundtrack with the head of R7. It is possible to count 24 frames after the changeover cue on R6, but the cues are small and hard to see on the bench.  |  IP: Logged
