[Frameworks] The Flicker

[Pip Chodorov]

Hi Jonathan,
I have struck prints recently and I can confirm that there is an 
optical sound neg synched to the optical picture neg. However there 
is no precise correspondence between how the flicker flickers and how 
the audio clicks evolve.
The soundtrack starts with 30s music over the three opening title 
cards including the Warning.
The DVD we published through Re:Voir is in sync and can be used as a reference.
I believe the stereo CD version will be more interesting and more 
intense and I wouldn't worry about the sync. Maybe you can do a test 
by projecting the beginning while playing the CD, and at the point 
where the titles end and the old music stops, check how many seconds 
off you are, and then adjust by that much when you start them for the 
show.
-Pip
