Just watched my newest super 8 optical sound feature, "Sudden Impact" (Clint Eastwood BANG BANG!). Interesting feature, as it is on Kodak SP and does has some brwoning to the blacks, but it has a title card before the feature begins ...

"edited for airline presentation"

... that has near perfect blacks, but then you go to the fade in of the Warners logo, and it goes from decent near perfect blacks to a brwon fade in, so I'm betting that when this was originally printed, it probably had marginal blacks to the feature in the first place.

FUN FILM!

The sound is very good on this print. This will be a very interesting review (as I'm going to write one) as, while it is edited, i think most of what was edited was just that rape scene in the flashback, because it has all the "bi*ch", "sh*t" and other cussing, so this is one that they either didn't pay too much attention too, or when it came to editing, (by the early to mid 80's), they were more interested in scenes with nudity than anything else. Very sharp as well.

Two films today : in standard/regular 8 : Show People, a silent film. I believe this is the complete version. In super 8, a British film : Bulldog Jack, an abridged version (1200 ft/360 mt).

David,

The quality of the print was great. There were no lines and during some scenes I thought I was watching a 16mm print. There were some white lines from the original print but it was not bad at all.

I have never senn the full feature but i think Derann did a great job with this cutdown.

Yesterday a second attempt to watch Hello Dolly 6 x 600ft, though a couple are nearer 400ft due to the intermission break. My first attempt the day before was abandoned at the start of part 3 when a take up reel got stuck - thankfully the Noris 412 has a manual un-load feature).

My copy is a combination of "White Box Specials" mainly the Derann check print so although it is of good quality overall the grading is not too good. Sorry, no photos as I was just too hot to bother.

After a couple of weeks off volunteering at Campaign for Real Ale Beer Festivals (harder work than you may think) I decided to view some Tom & Jerry mainly from Walton prints (or maybe Derann prints from Walton negs).

First of all the odd one out a much edited "Mice Follies" labelled as Tom & Jerry Skaters about 100 - 120ft unknown stock as it is printed black along the perforation side. The others, bought second hand, (Dr Jeckle & Mr Mouse, Cat Fishin', The Truce Hurts, Tennis Chumps & Cruise Cat) were to my surprise all on Agfa stock so despite some contrast trouble, which was common on Walton releases, all still had excellent colour. Three were a real bargain - all together on a Schneider spool and plastic case for £6 many years ago from a camera warehouse style shop.

I had just watched the TV programme about the 100MPH run of the new build steam loco Tornado so I had to watch my print of "The Engine Driver" featuring LMS loco 5614. This was on a 600ft spool I had made up from "White Box Specials" of mirror image prints. This consisted of the long trailer for Psycho (Hitchcock walking round the sets), The Engine Driver, Thru the Mirror (Mickey Mouse) and Snow Business (Tweety & Sylvester trapped in a cabin with only bird seed to eat, with a mouse so mad with hunger that it tries to eat Sylvester every time the cat's back is turned). All are on Agfa or LPP so despite looking odd all have great colour.

I've had TWO sessions in the last 24 hours!!

Last night I checked out my newly acquired 3x 400' version of The Exorcist (more tramlines than San Francisco...... or Blackpool for that matter)and the 2x 400' This Is Your Life Laurel & Hardy. I have seen the dvd of this telecine print several times.... but it just seemed soooooo much better on the big screen seeing the boys reactions to the people behind the voices they didn't recognize.

Then this afternoon another session. This time it was Old Mother Riley Headmistress which I think originally was on 5x 400' spools which I bought on 1x 1600' spool reducing it to 3x (very full) 400' and 1x 600', followed by a 1x 400' Sixty Glorious Years starring Anna Neagle which was made in Pink and Red,I believe!!!!!! A real shame as it is one excellent cut down of Queen Victoria's life, and the sound was fine as was the steadiness of the picture. Such is life.

Just watched Meteor 3 x 400ft. Great print tho not sharp, bright colours and booming sound. I have tow copies, one on a 1200ft spool and now the correct 3 x 400 reels in their original boxes, very pleased. I also ran both GOLD on 16mm full feature, adapted scope, ie masked and then the 2 x 400 super 8 scope version of GOLD(again I have 2 copies of this film) I have two GS1200s and 2 ST1200s, there must be something in my brain that makes me get two of everything? Maybe Im Noah, saving 2 of everything super 8 etc.

I just watched my "Treasure Island", well, it's not mine anymore, it just sold, but here are the screenshots from it! [Smile]

Oh, Melvin, I apologize for not replying to you sooner! "Sudden Impact" has very good sound for an optical, very loud, nearly comparable to a good magnetic soundtrack,. i was surprised as well, but by the early to mid 80's they had really mastered that optical track for the airlines. I was also surprised to find all the cussing in the film as well!

By the way, my apologies on the crappy shots. I'm close to being the worst screenshot taker in the world. Th film has a very good sharpness that you just don't see in these shots.

I've been watching primarily 16mm films lately...so tonight I went strickly Super 8. I fired up my Elmo 1200HD which has always had a delay in starting, however the fan started up almost as normal tonight. I think the new belts I put on may be finally loosening up [Smile]

 -

First on the show was L&H Way Out West (4x400) and yes that's my cat Buster's tail hanging down at the window. He's not really shunning the film he just prefers looking out the window. I'm not offended because he doesn't look at TV either [Smile]

 -

Next was The African Queen (400ft Digest) I love this digest and the color is much better than my 16mm full feature. Buster is still perched on the windowsill. Seems like a lot going on across the street tonight.

 -

The last showing was It Happened One Night (400ft Digest). I also have the full length feature on 16mm, but I enjoy watching this well edited shortened version too. You can barely see him...but Buster is now on the carpet beneath the screen ready to call it a night. It's almost 11 p.m. and time to wrap up the show. [Cool] [Wink]

Hi Janice, hard to tell from the pictures but your screen looks like one of the silver curved screens meant for the early kloss 3 beam projection TV back in the day, very bright. Is that what your using your pictures look great. Thx
