THE WORK PRINT 337
instruct the film manufacturer to make the work print for you, your original can be set aside for storage without opening the shipping cans until you are ready to cut it. From that point on the film manufacturers' laboratories will do little more than make untimed release prints. Timing, cutting, and all sorts of other odd jobs that are needed to finish the picture are in the province of the commercial film laboratory. In many cases commercial laboratories will even do "creative" editing, but usually at rather high prices.
The instructions for developing the original should be quite explicit. Several persons in the film manufacturer's plant will handle your film, and they will know only what you tell them on the attached log sheets and instruction sheets. Instructions particularly should be typed if possible, since handwritten instructions often turn out to be illegible. Shipping instructions should be plainly marked.
The costs of shipment other than ordinary parcel post are borne by the customer. This includes air express or special delivery charges as well as insurance. The one exception is Kodachrome Commercial film, which is customarily sent via special delivery at no extra charge.
It has been found convenient to splice original rolls together into 400-ft. rolls after processing. It is essential to reduce the amount of handling, particularly in the printing room where the film must be handled mostly by means of the sense of touch. It is customary to make up the rolls in numerical sequence ; with such arrangement, the location of particular sequences and sections should not be too difficult when the original film is cut at a later time. Explicit instructions for assembling the original into suitable rolls must be given the film manufacturer 's laboratory if camera film rolls shorter than 400 ft. were used.
When the original (which was photographed on Kodachrome Commercial) is returned by the manufacturer, it will be found that the film is mounted on a core and placed in a film can that was sealed with a piece of adhesive sealing tape. Figure 76 is a drawing of the standard core ; this is ASA Z22. 38-1944. The can used has no holes ; the tape effectively seals it and prevents moisture exchange with the outside atmosphere. If the film is to be stored for an extended period of time, the cans should be flat and the film located in a place where the temperature is constant — preferably at about 50°F. "When stored in this manner, deterioration is quite slow, and even if the original will not be ready for cutting for as long as 6 months, there need be no cause for concern.
