Author Topic: Mixed sound tracks on same feature. Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 04-24-2006 03:26 AM                        Our print of Silent Hill had cyan sound track only on reel 4. That could have been a shocker for someone.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 04-24-2006 05:48 AM                     I've seen conventional and high magenta mixed on one print before, but never cyan mixed with anything else; except on 'Red Alert', of course.  |  IP: Logged Steve Scott Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1300 From: Minneapolis, MN Registered: Sep 2000 posted 04-24-2006 10:36 AM                     The two reels that came tails out in our print were labeled 'International', the rest 'Tristar'. No noticeable difference, but we do have it in DTS for this week only.  |  IP: Logged Peter Mork Expert Film Handler Posts: 181 From: Newton, MA, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 04-24-2006 11:43 AM                     Here's a newie for me: soundtracks on locally-produced ad spots that weren't cyan but appeared not to have gotten the separate development treatment to retain silver, so they just look dark like pure YCM dye. I guess the lab didn't feel like reducing it to one cyan layer, but it played fine.  |  IP: Logged
