WARNING - when assembling for platter projection, the end of reel 5 is a fade to black and the beginning frame of reel 6 "cuts on" with no fade up. HOWEVER, the lab mismarked the changeover cues and end cut mark. As a result there is going to be an overlap of audio. This is easily seen by "reading" the optical track visually. Look at the audio at the end of reel 5 and compare it to the first few frames of reel 6. It clearly is not a match. However, looking 18 frames into reel 6, you will find that matched waveform. If you do not remove 18 frames at one of the two leaders, you will have a repeated second of audio. Since it looks to be a waveform of someone talking, that's going to sound really bad as the splice passes through and a few words are repeated.

When assembling the print for platter operation, 18 frames should be left on the head leader of reel 6 and the end of reel 5 should be cut on the frame labeled "splice here". While you could lose 18 frames from the end of reel 5 and preserve all of the frames at the beginning of reel 6, if you choose to build the print in this manner, you will be screwing up the proper changeover cue timing for any future theater that will be playing the print via changeover operation. Since the beginning of reel 6 has no visual action, I feel this is this the better alternative.

For changeover operation, the head leader of reel 6 should be ran down an extra 18 frames from the normal start point.

Closing credits show film as SDDS-8. Has anyone confirmed this?
