Author Topic: New Vodafone advert Thomas Pitt Master Film Handler Posts: 266 From: Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK Registered: May 2007 posted 10-12-2007 03:42 PM                     How many people here have seen that new advert for Vodafone Mobile Broadband that's currently playing in UK cinemas? It involves a man leaving work for a break, but just as he gets into the cafe to see a girl, there's a film splice/framing error and he's back in his office. The reason I'm posting this here is because of the Grindhouse-style edits and description frames - how authentic are they to someone who's an experienced projectionist? I originally thought something had gone wrong with the film when I first saw the advert! Also, anyone who's running the advert - does the film have any edge marks on it to ensure you don't splice the film before it 'really' ends? The ad's on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieMbxPmKYOE  |  IP: Logged David Buckley Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 525 From: Oxford, N.
