While building my print, one of the reels came with both heads and tails printed on the leader. Leader band states after the countdown leadin H-6 but after 15 or so frames, it states T-1. Could anyone give me a discription of the H/T of reel 1 & 6. I have our corp. people on the phone with ETS, but not sure how long it will take for a responce. I have a 7:00pm radio sneak tonight. Thanks Bob I am placing this here for comments to prevent massive replies in feature films info area.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 05-15-2003 12:58 PM                        The TOP of the image on the picture frames will always face the head leader. The BOTTOM of the image on the picture frames will always face the tail leader. Any tape or ultrasonic splices in the print?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-15-2003 01:08 PM                     Besides what John posted, the movie according to FITA is 6 reels long and you have a leader that claims reel 1 and reel 6. Just rewind the reel. If you see the end credits, it's reel 6. If you see the opening logo plus probably an attached trailer, it's reel 1.  |  IP: Logged Bob Brown Expert Film Handler Posts: 146 From: Grand Rapids, MI Registered: Apr 2002 posted 05-15-2003 01:30 PM                        Thanks John and Brad. Yes, my request was a litte elementary but we did not have a attached trailer to guide us. Anyway thanks for the info and this subject as far as I am concerned is closed! -Bob  |  IP: Logged
