We ran it on 2 VERY full 6k reels.  |  IP: Logged Blaine Young Master Film Handler Posts: 477 From: Kirkland, WA, USA Registered: Sep 2006 posted 12-04-2006 09:09 AM                     Absolutely. I inspected a print on Saturday Night. I was quite surprised at the reel count myself and even verified that someone didn't manufacture their own reel breaks to make it fit.  |  IP: Logged John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 12-04-2006 11:07 AM                     Still, that's unusual ... Normally, there's never any more then 20 min per reel .... so to have a running time of 133 min with 6 reels makes me wonder if a section of your print might be missing...  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 12-04-2006 03:08 PM                     The reels of LTK are pretty much to the edge... and the 6th reel overlapped about half an inch over the edge. Very odd.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 12-05-2006 12:37 AM                    I saw that many a time back in the 80's. After some complaints at the time I believe a rule was established that said film was not to overlap 20 minute reels. Now with the polyester base stocks you can get more than 20 mins. on a 2000 foot reel because the film is slightly thinner than triacitate.  |  IP: Logged
