Hi all,

My name’s Dale and I’ve literally just signed up on OT.com, so I could comment and join in on this discussion about this TITANIC preservation project - what a bloody marvelous project it is! I’ve just this evening seen the preview video, and cannot get over how fantastic it looks.

I actually really rather enjoy the little bits of dirt, specks of dust and such that are present (I’ve also just seen the footage from reel 10, with those few little flaws on the frames). Would it be possible to release an uncleaned, raw version as well? I do hope this isn’t presumptuous of me - I’m honestly grateful that this project is even happening…I’m one of the rabid Titanic fans, mentioned above 😛 I’ll own it!

I’ve been collecting individual 35mm film cells from this release (pre-2012) for years, 5 frames per strip, so it’d be a TREAT to see this entire film released as a fan preservation project, with colour corrections and cleaning up done to match the actual physical film frame colours.

I’ve also done a quick frame size comparison, from the reel 10 sample and the Blu-Ray…I’m just not sure how to insert an image here! But it looks like we’ve got a bit more information, image-wise on this project which is great!
