well,

we didn't get to see the reels yesterday.

however,

a group of about 10 people were able

to watch the first Preview 0 versions of

star wars, and the empire strikes back 35mm

versions off a DVD player.

i have made single and dual-layer downscales

of both movies. and the quality was very good

concerning the limitations of the format. definitely

better looking than the GOUT.

got a lot of nice comments, and people were definitely

eager to hear about the work being done on them,

and wondering when and where the completed

versions were going to be out.

had a fun time talking about movies with the people

there. this was the last night before the theater goes

all digital.

so i'll be looking for other theaters that will still have

35mm projectors.

later
