Author Topic: Water for Elephants (2011) John T. Hendrickson, Jr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 889 From: Freehold, NJ, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 04-20-2011 12:58 PM                     20 Century Fox Scope 7 Reels SR/SRD/DTSD/SDDS Deluxe/ETS depot Fuji stock Deluxe Lab Special Notes: The end of reel #6 does not actually end with the image! As I recall, there are five or six regular frames after the last cue mark. Then,there are a number of black frames to the end of the reel (approx. 12). Make your cut on the first white frame line. Also- Reel #7 has a fade-in. Make your cut on the last white frame line of the head header. There is a black & white letterboxed image prior to the credits. If you cue on the last frame of the color imaage, your lights will come up too soon. Attached trailer: Monte Carlo Loose in the can: Larry Crowne Seven Days in Utopia Super 8 Warrior Something Borrowed The above came with my print. Trailer Alert sheet also lists The Art of Getting By, Tree Of Life, The Beaver, and The Help.  |  IP: Logged John T.

Here it is: "Dear Manager and Projectionist, In reel 6, our hero gets punched and knocked out and the image fades to black. We are asking that you please pay special attention while putting together your print to insure that you keep all the black frames at the end of the reel. The first visible white frame line after these black frames is the place to cut over to reel 7. Please be sure that if your print is being spliced together on a platter that this is where the splice is made. If you are running reel to reel, this is where the changeover should be cued. We thank you in advance for your cooperation and wish you a long and successful run." Well, not entirely accurate, as there is no "fade to black" at the end of reel # 6. It goes from image to total darkness. Then reel # 7 resumes with a fade in.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 04-20-2011 04:45 PM                     My print, with reel No.2, I had to go down almost a foot from BOA to make my cut due to the SR,SR-D and SDDS track was blocked from playback ....  |  IP: Logged
