Mark,

How's the print quality? Also, did you re-record because you were unhappy with the original track?

Very pleased with this. The Matrix is a dark and moody film so I did have reservations about how this extract might come out and I was pleasently surprised. At one point in the fight sequence you can see that it is not Keanu Reeves and obviosly CGI, but thats nothing to do with print quality of course.
Didn't pay too much attention to the sound quality as I have well sorted GS from MR Elmo and it's a real Little Honey at recording, now little difference from the DVD sound, thanks Kev.

Thats OK! Another machine restored to full tonal quality thanks to the change of that dreaded capacitor. [Smile]

GS1200 Xenon with Elmo 1.0...great combo along with a 16-CL Xenon for that super bright white light.

Capacitor....?

I hate to be going off-topic here, but could changing a capacitor possibly help my Chinon SP-330MV's crackling-sound issue? (It currently sounds like playing a vinyl record, with the characteristic crackling and popping in the background every now and then... not badly, but noticeable.)

What's even weirder is that if I touch a resistor that's located near the recording switch with my bare finger, everything goes berserk and a loud whistling/screeching is heard from the speaker. I'm just glad I didn't find this out while wearing my headphones.

(I'm actually deaf since birth so a lot of the time I'll be wearing headphones with the volume turned up FAIRLY LOUD.) [Eek!]

EDIT: Best to take this thread back to the Matrix extract now [Big Grin]
I'd appreciate a response in a new thread, though [Smile]

What's the length of the extract? I heard someone tell me it was mounted on 2 800' reels, that seems like an a lot for an extract.

Ah, ok that makes more sense. Thanks for the info. I was going to say if it were two 800ft reels that'd be an aweful lot. 200ft makes more sense. Well, enjoy it, I may have to pick up one myself. [Smile]

I just got my 200 foot "Matrix- Reloaded" excerp via Steve Osborne / The Reel Image (very fast service, by the way).

This is a very good extract, with good quality, though not quite up to the quality on some of there best releases.

The scene is very action packed, and makes full use of the scope screen.

I am hoping that Derann will release the scene (from the same movie) with the albino twins & the highway chase. This, in my opinion, is the best scene and would look great on the big scope super 8 screen [Smile] .

Nick.

Duncan at Derann did mention there might be more extracts released from the Matrix. By the way the Imax cinema at london Waterloo is showing the Matrix triology with 'Reloaded' and 'Revolutions' in Imax DMR format on the 11th & 12th March.

IMAX Digital ReMastering process. (Yeah I know they got it backwards, but DMR sounds better than DRM.)

You can go to www.film-tech.com and click on the FORUMS there and do a search in the "LARGE FORMAT" forum if you want to read up on it.

Excuse me Brad, but DRM sounds just fine to me. Did I mention those are my initials?

Excuse me Doug [Big Grin] but let's stick with DMR, because DRM to me means Digital Rights Management and reeks of Microsoft and the RIAA and MPAA. [Roll Eyes]

That's pretty funny Doug. I'll have to ask around and see if I can find you an IMAX DMR plaque. [Razz]
