Even Kodak made an interesting developer using ascorbic acid, called XTOL. Are you sure you aren't thinking of technidol? It wasn't being used as the developing agent, though, but as a stabilizer. --scott ___ FrameWorks mailing list

According to a british neg cutter on the cinematography forum, ORWO hs also stopped production of their black leader. One suggestion to conserve stock for neg cutting was to use only a foot of real black leader on each end, slug in between, giving the lab enough time to close the lamp for that

Ok I'm not a sound guy but I think this is just an audio filter used to improve the signal to noise ratio. Did you have a final sound mix completed on the sound track for the film? I think your sound designer/final mixer would have taken this into account but you should check. I create my own

If this is 35mm, it does need pre-emphasis and the lab should do that for you if you ask them. If it's 16mm, there is sort of a pre-emphasis standard but nobody really follows it and lots of folks do aggressive equalization to make things sound good on cheap classroom projectors while others
