Author Topic: I'm searching a projection Academy leader Pierre-gilles Lucain Film Handler Posts: 3 From: Barraux, Isere, France Registered: Aug 2004 posted 08-12-2004 01:19 PM                     Hi I'm searching a projection Academy leader file (you know: numbers decrease in a circle with a bar circling like a clock indicator 7,6,5,4,3,...) in MOV or AVI or any other video format for a windows system. I need this for a video movie project (non commercial). I can't find it on the web... So help please, if you know where to find this file. PS my video format is PAL 720x576 Thanks Pierre-gilles  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 08-12-2004 02:10 PM                        Those are not technically "Academy" leaders. They are the SMPTE "Television Release Prints" leaders, made per standard SMPTE 55-2000. Kodak FPC sells them: http://www.fpchollywood.com/film-leaders-editorial-leaders-academy-leaders.html The master postitives are available from the SMPTE as "Universal Leader" 35-UL: http://www.smpte.org/smpte_store/test_materials/ The current theatrical projection leader is 35-PL, and masters are also available from the SMPTE, and standardized by SMPTE 301M.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 08-12-2004 02:15 PM                        An MPEG file of a Technicolor labs Academy leader can be downloaded from the Rick Prelinger collection here. Alternatively, if you have Adobe Premiere version 6 or 'Pro', you can generate a leader which is very similar to an SMPTE leader simply by selecting file - new - countdown leader.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-12-2004 03:26 PM                  While I *NOW* know why the numbers "6" and "9" were printed with "six" and "nine" for technical readability reasons, I still get embarrassed whenever I see that or the words "HEAD" or "TAIL". It must be a hidden memory of some weird thing I learned from a priest when I was an altar boy. Go Figure. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-12-2004 07:16 PM                        I just can't BELIEVE how Phil can take an innocent topic like film leaders and turn it into a sex joke. I stand in awe. Oops, shouldn't have said "stand."  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-12-2004 07:45 PM                  Oh PULEEZE, Mike! Everything I post is based on my personal life experiences...Besides, it all stems from my rebellion to my overly religious up-bringing! HA! BTW: I hear Arizona and Lake Havasu is selling the London Bridge... I can get you a kill deal on it. Let me know... >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

It's on my website, but I can only use the website space for this project for a few days. Each file is a little over 5 megs. Black and white version - download the file http://www.goodmagic.com/leader/leader.avi A blue version is http://www.goodmagic.com/leader/leader-blue.avi Please let me know when you have received them. Anyone else who needs NTSC version(s), ask. rossebay@goodmagic.com  |  IP: Logged Pierre-gilles Lucain Film Handler Posts: 3 From: Barraux, Isere, France Registered: Aug 2004 posted 08-13-2004 10:19 AM                     Thanks for all and specially for Wayne who give me exactly the file I was searching. I downloaded the file, so you can erase it from your site. Thanks you again Pierre-gilles  |  IP: Logged
