Your personal life might be important but understand that this isn't a forum dealing with that.

Yes - listen to this guy, he talks sense.

... if you'd just scan these prints and in whatever way get the digitized copies to me...

Oh wait - scratch my last comment.

LOL

Yeah, you're right Moth3r. But listen I'm in a hurry and I haven't got too much time to express myself properly and I didn't mean to sound like a wacko who lives in a dream world and likes to oversimplify things, but you know... it's Star Wars. It's fantasy. It's about letting dreams come true and doing the impossible, right? This is probably the only chance we have to see a properly restored version of ANH and ESB.

Adywan already proved that George shouldn't be too proud of this technological terror he constructed called the SE and the 2004 DVD's, since his ability to destroy a saga is no match for the power of Star Wars fandom, most notably an unknown guy with a computer from GB that became a true living legend amongst Star Wars fans because he did the impossible working with... shit.

Yes, shit. The 2004 DVD's and the GOUT is shit too me. And although I'm unaware what PC Ady's using I guess it's far inferior to whatever the ILM and Lowry Digital crew were using.

 

So I only wanted to let him know that I'm up for the task unless of course this certain Mr. Adywan expresses his interest in doing this. But assuming that's just wishful thinking regarding he has got a lot on his hands these days - considering we all expect him to provide us with both the Revisited and color corrected HD versions of the Saga - I'd offer to help out myself. I can do this, that's not the issue. I know it's a hard and time consuming task to scan these reels, but I just need the raw data. I'd do everything necessary (IVTC and so on and so forth) myself and restore it frame by frame.

I'll PM you soon, -1
