film</div>
<div><br></div>It's not that hard, Brandon... people have been loading
mags sightless for about a century now.<br><br>Get some old stock... and
practice practice practice, watching what you do. Then with your eyes
closed. Then in a darkroom or tent where you CAN'T cheat. Do it a
while and it will become second nature. DON'T get in a hurry, and DON'T
get frustrated. <br><br>Personally, to me the hardest part of loading is
if I have to cut film... and be able to cut it straight across and not hit
sprocket holes on either side (which makes loading harder). But I can do
it pretty reliably.<br><br>Keep track of where everything is. We operate
so casually when we can see that it's easy to forget that. If you are in
a darkroom, for example, I ALWAYS keep the scissors right HERE, I start with a
mag right THERE facing the same way, the tape is right over THERE, when I open
a lid it goes in a certain SPOT, I place the bag right HERE....<br><br>Nothing
is worse that looking for something ("I know those scissors are in here
SOMEWHERE! AARRGG!") when you are beyond the point of being able to turn
the lights on.<br><br>Just keep your cool, and relax when loading.<br><br>My
worst load job ever was on a shoot on a tennis court in 100 deg weather... the
client was being a pain, talent was waiting, the mag was being finnicky, and
sweat was pouring down my arms in the tent. I finally had to force
myself to relax, take a break, take a breath.... now load.<br><br>You can do
it....<br><br>T2<br><br>_____________________________________________________<br>Todd
