Thanks Bruce. That's exactly what I meant.

Also - I noticed you said something about splicing in-camera. Don't do 
it. The camera will most likely chew the splice up, which could end up 
in damaging something important. So don't use any splices in camera - 
that's for the world of projection only...

BTW: If you are interested in what leader is, look no farther than ebay:
http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=m38&_nkw=35mm+leader

It's made to "lead" into the film. And if you ask, your local lab will 
probably give you a small roll of leader.

Speaking of which, what lab will you be using?
