Author Topic: ....Projection problem?or asleep at the reel! Don E. Nelson Expert Film Handler Posts: 138 From: Brentwood, CA, USA Registered: Nov 2001 posted 12-11-2002 06:04 PM                     When I saw the turgid! film, "Diet Another Day"(which is what I wanted to do after it was over [barf])at the local 15 mini-cini-plex theater, the location scene title at the bottom of the begining of the film was half cutoff, and then the rolling credits at the end were out of focus until they got to midscreen. What causes these problems?  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 12-12-2002 03:22 AM                        quote: ...the location scene title at the bottom of the begining of the film was half cutoff... Aperture plate undercut, or picture out of rack, or both. quote: ...and then the rolling credits at the end were out of focus until they got to midscreen... Gate pressure issue? Damaged lens element? Incorrectly focused anamorph? Very severe rake?  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 12-12-2002 10:43 AM                        Leo's listed the most likely causes.
