Author Topic: Return of the King Intermission Placement? Pete Lawrence Expert Film Handler Posts: 192 From: Middleburg, PA Registered: Aug 1999 posted 01-08-2004 01:21 PM                     You know that intermission you weren't suppose to have? Where did you put it? This is probably best answered by those of you folks "across the pond". I don't want to get anyone here in trouble. I have to run this at a local event in 16mm when it goes non-theatrical the end of March. With the equipment available, one EIKI EX-6100 with 6000' reels, we can't run a continuous show. Doing a search I found only one reference to placement at the end of 35mm reel 4. Was that the "official" place to put it? Any other suggestions?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-08-2004 02:52 PM                     In looking at how the movie is laid out over the 10 reels, the end of reel 4 is just about the only decent place to put it. There is a major battle scene spread over reels 5-6 and as I recall the changeover from 6-7 is not at a scene change. I would stick with 1-4, then 5-10.  |  IP: Logged Dan Harris Film Handler Posts: 86 From: Bristol, UK Registered: Jun 2003 posted 01-08-2004 03:39 PM                     The official place to put the intermission is at the end of reel 4.  |  IP: Logged Michael Harlow Expert Film Handler Posts: 170 From: Faversham, Kent, UK Registered: Jul 2002 posted 01-08-2004 04:57 PM                     I was told at the end of reel 4  |  IP: Logged Pete Lawrence Expert Film Handler Posts: 192 From: Middleburg, PA Registered: Aug 1999 posted 01-08-2004 06:27 PM                     Looks like the end of reel four has the most votes. That puts it at the end of reel two on a 16mm print and makes it easy. Thanks guys. I wasn't counting changeover cues when I watched the film. What is going on in the story at that point? I plan to see it again next week and just need a reference point.  |  IP: Logged David Favel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 764 From: Ashburton, New Zealand Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-08-2004 08:49 PM                     The king of Rohan is chatting to his niece after Aragorn, Gimli & Legolas have ridden into the mountains.  |  IP: Logged
