Ron,

I always wondered. Do you have to queue up the different rolls ahead of time
in order to be ready for the various sections of the film ? If you needed a
love scene, a chase, a storm and some walking music and only have two spool
boxes, do you have to keep swapping rolls ?  Can that be done quickly ?
Thanks for any description you can give us.
