Thomas and I were recording another (unreleased) video and wanted to run a preview reel with magnetic sound 70mm film. While we were running our Norelco DP70 (Todd AA II projector) in 70mm configuration (with our new Big Sky Industries Lamphouse) the film snapped! You can see what I believe is the only video on the internet of 70mm film snapping. The film immediately hit the film buckle switch and stopped the motor before we could. In the end only a few frames were lost in our already beat-up preview.

The snap was caused by a combination of 2 bad splices within 6 frames of each other, and the lower loop was lost when the projector started. We are looking into why the lower loop shrank so much from start to running.
