[Tig] instinctive contrast

[sklein54 at earthlink.net]

Especially nice in 16 MM. We used to thread the film on backwards & then flip it back electronically to fight this shedding effect. Invariably the director would then ask for flex effects which were impossible when running the machine this way so you'd have to flip it back and endure the snowstorm.
