RecordCouncil | Australian Classification Board "Not Yet Rated" Flat 35mm @RecordCouncil | Uploaded February 2023 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
Used in Australia on trailers for features that had yet to be classified.
Interesting but unrelated production house leader on this one, I probably fished it out of the bin on projection night shift.

This will be a copyright hit for sure.
Not sure what poor print this came off, pretty trashed at the end.")

Not sure who made this one. The green looking leader is due to me burying the red channel to bring some colour back.")

Theres sadly not much left of this piece of film but the main reason I wanted to upload it is because this business is still around.
Same address and telephone number!")

Im guessing 1940s but its a safety reprint in any case.")

This is one from my own collection that I have now deposited with the national archives.
It seems to be a bit of a mixed bag of newsreel segments from roughly the same period spliced together. Mostly Universal but with a couple of Gaumont pieces. Good examples unilateral variable area track amongst bits of others. The two tiny pieces of density track on the planes segment is awful, I did what I could. Im not 100% sure if the major visible damage is base decomposition or from water but the film is certainly starting to distort making the picture a bit lumpy in places. Im glad to have it out of the house now.
Interestingly this appears to be largely comprised of Foley and voiceover, including what I think is the faked football ground announcer.
This is one of the more complex post processing tasks I have completed. Since the tracking software can not gracefully handle large changes in the film appearance like, for example, dots suddenly appearing in between sprocket holes, the film was broken up into segments and tracked individually then put back together.
Segments I can definitely date are:
- Shakespeares Birthday 26th April 1937
- King George V monument 23rd April 1937
- Arsenal Vs. Man City 12th March 1932
- 1932 FA Cup Final 23rd April 1932
- Marriage of Duke and Duchess of Kent 29th November 1934")
