Author Topic: Text Overlay On Valkarie Print Frames? Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 12-25-2008 10:07 AM                     I noticed my VALKARIE print has text info overlayed on random scenes on throuout the entire print. Just curious to know if all prints have this or if I just got lucky. Based on the fact some of the caption contain the word "PAINT", I'm guessing these numbers are related to whatever program the colorist uses to color-match scenes on the digital intermediate. The numbers on the upper right are frame numbers, as they increment one-per-frame. I've found these numbers on various scenes throughout the print. From their position on the frame, it appears they should be masked by the aperture plate and not appear on screen, if the projector is framed properly for 1:85. This image came from the very first scene on REEL 3. Just curious: Did anyone else notice these on their print?  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 12-25-2008 10:42 AM                        Search bait: Valkyrie That's just the filename which was left over from when it was edited in Windows Moviemaker.  |  IP: Logged Joe Elliott Master Film Handler Posts: 497 From: Port Orange, Fl USA Registered: Oct 2006 posted 12-26-2008 07:12 PM                     Yeah, even ran it without the aperture plate, to ensure it would not accidentally get on screen. It is way out of the viewable area. Will one day be a trivia question I'm sure.  |  IP: Logged
