Author Topic: Prince Caspian : Narnia 2 - (2008) Robert LaValley Expert Film Handler Posts: 104 From: Tampa, FL Registered: May 2007 posted 05-14-2008 05:06 PM                     Scope 9 - reels attached trailer is wall-e reel number 3 has a night scene at the end of it but my print was marked with a "last frame of action" frame so it was easy to make the cut for the splice.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-14-2008 06:37 PM                     The beginning of reel 7 is not to be cut at the first visible frame. You need to put the “3” of the countdown leader into your frame counter and zero the counter. Then pull exactly 3 feet and 0 frames through it (this is 48 frames total) and cut there. That will leave you with 1 foot and 5 frames (20 frames total) of “black” WHICH IS TO BE LEFT ON THE PRINT before the first image is seen on the edge of the frame. Do not accidentally cut the film at the first visible frame line of reel 7 or you will be chopping off 20 frames of audio.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 05-15-2008 04:23 AM                    Same thing can be accomplished if you place the #3 of another reel head on the #3 of the head you are trying to cut. For those who don't have frame counters. movie is: SRD/SDDS/DTS/Cyan TES depot  |  IP: Logged Tom Doyle Expert Film Handler Posts: 176 From: Bristol, CT, USA Registered: Nov 2002 posted 05-16-2008 08:41 AM                     Both of the prints I handled are on Kodak 2393 - Vision Premier filmstock  |  IP: Logged Jake Lafree Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Valparaiso, IN USA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 05-17-2008 06:25 PM                        All 3 of my prints were Deluxe (although they still came from our normal Technicolor courier, DHL).  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-17-2008 09:19 PM                     Jack, I can assure you that what you just posted is flat out incorrect.  |  IP: Logged Ross Oba Expert Film Handler Posts: 181 From: Kailua Kona, HI Registered: Oct 2005 posted 05-18-2008 09:15 PM                     It is distributed via Technicolor, but the film is printed by Deluxe. At least that was what both of our prints had been. I believe there was a note with National Treasure 2 about Disney switching to Deluxe for printing. I was disappointed when that happened because we have a larger error rate (digital sound failure) with prints by Deluxe than Technicolor.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 05-25-2008 07:22 AM                        Title: The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian and if anybody cares, the Polish title: Opowieści z Narnii.

Registered: Aug 1999 posted 05-29-2008 08:44 PM                     I noticed the credits: Print by DeLuxe (domestic) and Technicolor elsewhere. Wonder if the Technicolor prints are any better? All of my prints had at least one lab splice per reel. I didnt screen any of them, but I almost bet that there was a color shift that I would have noticed had I done this. I cut them all out. Jake, you just need to go back and edit your original post.  |  IP: Logged
