As a relative newcomer to the world of 16mm, can anyone please tell me when to splice at 90 degrees and when to splice at an angle, as I have a C.I.R splicer with 2 guillotines, but no instructions?
Thanx,

Valves and celluloid - a great combination! Early technology rules OK!

The 90 degree cuts are used when splicing magnetic full coat material in editing. Remember this splicer was originally used in the production environment but a distribution or repair. Just use the straight splices, you won't like the way a 90 degree splice will look in the screen.
It's done with the full coat to minimize any "pop" from the splice in re-recording, the same thing is done with 35mm full coat or mag stripe for dialogue/effects editing.
