Has anyone ever encountered early process prints used for scoring film on the open market?
I would dearly love to find and obtain one reel that exhibits the classic streamers and punches as a piece of projection history to demonstrate to the occasional audience of students visiting our booth.
It would probably have to be later film era to not be so shrunken as to be un-projectable.
I guess I could could place my own streamers and punches on a trailer just to demonstrate the concept. But the genuine article would be hella cool. Probably never left the hands of the studios or were destroyed. Maybe composers or conductors have some in their personal archives?
For any not familiar, here is a little Streamers and Punches primer video:
And the concept continues in the digital realm today, although they have much more flexibility with colors and styles, there is software to overlay time-coded streamers & punches etc. I've seen them deployed in person for "live-scored" film presentations.
A bit longer form from a class being taught on scoring and presenting a live score.
