Author Topic: African Cats (2011) John T. Hendrickson, Jr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 889 From: Freehold, NJ, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 04-21-2011 01:31 PM                     Walt Disney Studios Flat 6 reels SR/SRD/DTS/SDDS TES depot Attached trailer: Chimpanzee Loose in the Box: Winnie the Poo, Judy Moody Special Note: Accompanied by an information sheet that reads as follows- "African Cats is a six reel feature. Please note reel six consists of 575 feet and is shorter than the other 5 reels. Please make sure when building your print for exhibition that you include all six reels. When breaking down the print for return, please make sure to cut at the proper reel changes and confirm all six reels are included in the shipping box. This will greatly help the next theatre when receiving their print. Thank you in advance for your cooperation." Hello? I think we can all count. Now here is IMPORTANT INFORMATION that they did not include. Reel # 5 has a fade out and then a marked "cut here" frame line. Reel # 6 fades in to credits. The head leader is clearly marked with a "cut here" frame line. CHANGEOVER HOUSES BEWARE!! I looked back 18 frames from the "cut here" line and the frames are completely black with NO cue marks, at least none that I could see. I then went back into the reel looking for the motor cue which should have appeared on a setting sun scene and couldn't find that either. So, good luck with your changeover from 5 to 6.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

Too bad if the normal prints do not.  |  IP: Logged
