Author Topic: Last Kiss blank frames Jason Setzer Film Handler Posts: 46 From: Tampa, Florida Registered: Aug 2006 posted 09-24-2006 03:15 PM                     Last week we got Last Kiss (Deluxe Films). The projectionist that was building it asked me to come upstairs because the print look "unusual". When I went upstairs and inspected R1 I realized that the last part of the reel had blank frames on it!( no tail etc). To be safe we ran just reel one and two and sure enough a dialogue scene was cut in half. We did get a new reel Saturday morning, but that sure didn't help us on Friday. We didn't have ny issues because we explained to customers that there was a couple seconds off the film.Has anyone ever had this happen before?  |  IP: Logged Christian Appelt Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 505 From: Frankfurt, Germany Registered: Dec 2001 posted 09-25-2006 12:11 PM                     Sound to me like the printer lamp died during printing that reel. No light through the neg = clear frames.  |  IP: Logged Kris Dirix Film Handler Posts: 54 From: Antwerp / Belguim Registered: Feb 2005 posted 09-26-2006 03:31 AM                     No printer lamp = NO frames at all  |  IP: Logged
