Author Topic: Seeking pictures of film damage for video filter Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 04-14-2008 09:13 PM                        There is an Aged/Damaged Film style of plug-in for Final Cut Pro available here. It's cheap and is really quite good, but it isn't perfect since the author of the plug-in isn't really familiar with the effects sloppy exhibition can cause since he doesn't work in the industry. He has asked that I supply him with more information so that his next update of the filter can be more realistic. That is where the members of Film-Tech come in. -Can anyone post a picture of a typical reel change cue mark? The filter already has similar cue marks, but they are the wrong shape/duration. I'm looking for the ones that have the weird yellow outline/inline if possible. -Can anyone post pictures of film that has emulsion scratches? Either a shot being displayed onscreen or a scan of the film itself would be cool. -Anyone have images of lab splices? -Can anyone recommend anything else that a perfect damaged/aged film filter should have? I've already suggested splicemarks and the excessive dirt around them, etc. I had better get many responses to this thread. I shall haunt anyone who does not reply with great examples after I die.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 04-15-2008 02:05 AM                     If the film is very old and shrunken you might just see the very edge of the perforations on the right side of the frame.  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

What's the film?  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

That image was posted somewhere on these forums but I couldn't find it. So I posted a copy of it from my machine. Cue marks, scope print, backing scratches. These look something like the old MGM cues with the 16-point stars.  |  IP: Logged Carl Martin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1424 From: Oakland, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 04-24-2008 06:00 PM                        iirc, the lab splice 4 posts up came from ken loach's sweet sixteen.  |  IP: Logged Patrick Dunn Expert Film Handler Posts: 120 From: newark, DE, United states Registered: Aug 2005 posted 04-26-2008 10:46 PM                        It may be strange but there is what looks a lab splice in this video at 0:55. I think it's the tracking from the tape, but make it thinner and it looks just like when a lab splice goes through a projector.  |  IP: Logged
