Ever wondered how thousands of feet of motion picture film was assembled and disassembled for 35mm/70mm projectors? Here is an in-depth tutorial and demonstration how film was taken from 20 minute shipping reels and converted into 40 minute projection, commonly called Benching/DeBenching reels using the important tools found in a projection booth such as a NeuTaper 35SS film splicer, Kelmar 8900 rewind film bench, and a lot of zebra tape. See how film is shipped to and from projection booths and studios, as well as the protective cotton archival gloves necessary for handling the fragile film. Also understand how to use all the tools such as the 35mm film splicer and the controls of the film bench.
