Author Topic: Harry Potter Issue Blake Hernandez Film Handler Posts: 2 From: Seattle, WA, USA Registered: Mar 2009 posted 07-14-2009 07:29 PM                     The third reel of HP6 is shaking laterally on more than one projector. I've run my two prints on more than 3 projectors, and they all behave the same way. It isn't a steady shake; it only happens for a few seconds every few minutes. Is this an effect edited into the film that I missed, or do you think I was given bad reels? The fact that it only happens on reel 3 makes me think bad reels...  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 07-14-2009 07:56 PM                        Could have been a bad reel that they were printed from.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 07-14-2009 08:26 PM                     Our two prints didn't have any problems with Reel #3 on the shaking issue. Must be a batch issue then with certain print numbers.  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 07-14-2009 10:26 PM                     Typically the leaders are marked with an internegative number (like IN3) on them; that indicates the internegative it was printed from. Could you check and post that info for R3? --jhawk  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-15-2009 12:06 AM                     Pull the apperture and look at the perfs to determin if it is a printer or a lubrication issue  |  IP: Logged Matt Skilton Film Handler Posts: 43 From: Bromley, Kent, UK Registered: May 2009 posted 07-15-2009 06:45 AM                        We got all our three prints rehearsed last night and I didn't see any shaking in mine, and the other two prints were given the all clear. Sounds like a dodgy reel to me so I'd get it replaced if need be.  |  IP: Logged
