scoodidabop, what is the status of the open matte version you said you’ll share with us? It’s been a long time since we last heard from you. Please let us know, thanks. There is no need for a 4K version. the 1080p is fine. Will anxiously await your reply for this gem of a version.

Please share this rare version with us. Many of us have expressed interest in watching this version. This is in all likelihood, perhaps the only chance we’ll get and we’re relying on you.

I took a look at the screenshots of this 35mm scan of Jurassic Park and all I can say is great job!
I saw a 35mm print of Jurassic Park at the famous Vista Theater near Sunset Blvd back in 2012 and the scan backs up exactly what I remember. I had watched the DVD for so many years so when I saw the screening of the print at the Vista, I was surprised at how dark the T-Rex and tree scenes with Alan and the veggie dinosaurs was. As as I was watching it though it felt appropriately dark. Most movies night/dark scenes nowadays are way too bright and look like they are being lit by a supermoon. They usually have a large bright light on set on a crane that illuminates everything in a light-bluish hue to replicate what we perceive as moonlight. Jurassic Park is lit enough that you can still see what’s going on, but it feels like it’s night.

The Vista was screening the movie as part of a series of midnight showings of classic films. It was actually the last film ever projected on 35mm at the Vista. The very next day they installed a digital projector.

Apologies in advance for bumping this thread, but it’s been a year and a half since scoodidabop last posted here. I checked up his user profile and it says his last activity was 15-Dec-2017. It’s real shame nobody has his scan of Jurassic Park which I prefer to MrNiceGuy’s because of the more vivid colours.
