Sync sound reprint with English intertitles.
Negative print through edge code seems to be circle circle circle: 1928/1948
Release print stock looks like circle semi circle (Canadian?) 1927, 1938 or 1949.
Dating this one was difficult. My initial guess was that this was possibly from a 1949 international re-release, however I was not sure how well received a German film would have been during this time period.
I was ready to assume it was a 1938 print until I discovered the songs used in this clip, Sidney Torchs The Duel was not recorded until 1947 so it is indeed 1949.
After further reading my assumption is that this is possibly from the Australian 1950 National Films release of the 1948 Associated British Pictures Corporation version of the film which is backed up fairly well by the edge codes. As far as I can tell this version has never been released on home video and only a few copies may still exist.
The original silent frame rate has been maintained on 24fps sound film by printing every second frame twice.
As with many early reprints of this movie the source picture elements are very badly scratched and worn.")

There are already better copies of this on YouTube so I thought I would upload this one uncropped.
Im still learning to deal with the quirks of the Raspberry Pi camera and the auto exposure going nuts is very obvious (and annoying) here. Soundtrack is pretty average unfortunately.")

Portion of cartoon, about 10% including fragments of title and end cards. Interestingly this does not appear to be the correct title card music for this cartoon, at least not the original version.
Two-strip Cinecolor print.
Cartoon was renamed Chinese Lanterns during WWII.")

This may be the highest quality copy of the Ernest Goes to Jail trailer currently publicly available. This copy still had the leaders attached without splices so I doubt it was ever run in a theatrical setting.
I think this is the first upload I have done where I have not included at least a few frames of the leader and footer. I liked having those there to remind people these are real film scans but I think people get the idea now, plus it probably ruins the uploads if people want to run them back to back in a home cinema or something without editing and transcoding. As always I encourage your feedback, positive or negative as to what is and what isnt working.
If anyone knows why Da Vinci Resolve makes the first frame smaller than the rest please let me know, I cant figure it out :D")

The final minutes of the 1949 documentary The Inlanders, the reel was hand labelled Mantle of Safety in several places, the alternate title for this film.
Australian viewers may recognise The Very Reverend John Flynn, OBE who appears just before the end from the reverse of our $20 note. His legacy lives on today in the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
NFSA title: 7608
Synopsis from Australian Screen:
A documentary by John Kingsford Smith made for the Australian Inland Mission. The Inlanders follows patrolling minister Reverend KF ‘Skipper’ Partridge on his 8,690 kilometre journey into Australia’s remote communities to tend to the physical, spiritual and intellectual needs of the people. The film shows some of the work undertaken by the Australian Inland Mission and also the work of the Royal Flying Doctor Service, established by AIM founder the Reverend John Flynn. It presents aspects of work life in remote Australia including gold, opal and coal mining, cattle mustering and branding, and communications services conducted by radio, telephone and Morse typewriter.")

Starts about 2 and a half minutes into the movie. Safety stock. Single bilateral variable area soundtrack.
Looks like faulty lab print, white flashes and spotting, possibly the reason this section was removed from the film. Im fairly sure this has always been there and is not age related degradation. There are also odd colour shifts towards the end of the clip, I think this is actually also on the film and not a scanner white balance issue.")

Redid the motion tracking using the same scan source files, Im actually pretty sure theres some optical printing instability with this one, especially looking at the olympic logo in the top left at the end and comparing with the VM logo which is pretty steady. The sprockets being tracked are dead on.
Cropping, brightness and colour changes to make closer to source.
Technically the first upload of this film was a test anyway ;)")
