Movie Film Print Checking
Protecting Film Integrity from Color-Timing through to Theatrical Presentation
You spend millions of dollars to create the images and the sounds that make the film what it is, and in the end, it’s all about the way it is presented to the audience that determines a film’s fate.
With the debut of digital sound and projection, audiences have come to expect a perfect presentation every time. Yet, of the 35,000 current domestic screens, less than 65% have digital sound, and less than 28% have digital projection. Plenty can go wrong during post-production and distribution to impact the presentation with 35mm film (and digital cinema?):
Guard Against:
Sound drop-outs
Color shifts
Projected dirt
Poorly-made splices
Reel/Print Scratches
Water bubbles
Printer movement
Soft focus
Improperly wired speakers
Low light levels
Filmmakers work too hard to have anything detract from the proper presentation of the movie. Market Force Print Checking Service is designed to protect the movie director’s vision all the way through the manufacturing and distribution process to ensure a perfect movie-going experience. Our team has worked on hundreds of films in this manner and with many of the highest profile Directors in the business.
