Howdy folks -
Prompted by a call from Gibbs Chapman, I looked a bit
into the 16mm laser subtitling issue, and apparently
the one place that was still doing it in the U.S.,
Titra, is now NO LONGER DOING 16MM LASER SUBTITLES.
To some of you, including Gibbs, this is maybe old
news.
We ran into this issue recently with a time sensitive
project, needing to subtitle a new print of a Marshall
Plan film from Germany, and ended up having to
transfer it to digital, do the subtitles in the
computer, and output it to digibeta for screening this
wednesday.
Gibbs thought some place in Australia was still doing
it, and Titra told us they thought Titra-Paris might
still be doing it, but I haven't checked yet.
Creating subtitles on an additional film printing roll
is certainly doable, but as someone else suggested
already, you may likely sacrifice picture quality in
your prints as a result... The entire C-roll for
Nelson's Bleu Shut is just the superimposed clock in
the upper-right corner, and the prints look fine, but
maybe today's stocks may not be as forgiving due to
increased sharpness...?
