Author Topic: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - Wierd head reel 6 Paul Konen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 981 From: Frisco, TX. (North of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-10-2007 09:53 AM                     All reels except for Reel 6 had "normal" type marking the heads and tails of the prints. Did someone at the lab or studio let their kid write this stuff. These prints seem to be done for a long time. I saw a date stamp at the end of one tail that had a 5-26-2007 date or something really close.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-10-2007 10:42 AM                     Is there a lab splice between that and somewhere in the countdown? I've seen that before where it appeared they "ran out of raw stock" but DID actually have enough to finish the reel, just not the leader, so my assumption was that they spliced extra on and hand-labeled it.  |  IP: Logged Paul Konen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 981 From: Frisco, TX.

I think it was a lab thing.  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 07-10-2007 02:20 PM                     It seems in line with Deluxe Toronto's funky typography... Paul says, "Did someone at the lab or studio let their kid write this stuff." Hey, what's wrong with that? Seems like a totally reasonable thing to do! --jhawk  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-11-2007 11:29 AM                        Ours is normal on all reels.  |  IP: Logged James Westbrook Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1133 From: Lubbock, Texas, Usa Registered: Mar 2006 posted 07-11-2007 11:39 AM                     I don't remember seeing that on any of my 3 prints.  |  IP: Logged Chad M Calpito Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: San Diego, CA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 07-11-2007 12:02 PM                        I didn't see that on the two prints I received and built.  |  IP: Logged
