Wow. The detail in that print is mindblowing.
It’s better than the laserdisc.

Just a quick update, I am getting a reel cleaned and scanned in a week’s time, thanks to some donations from people here and at Fanres, so thank you to everyone.
In the meantime, I jokingly replied to a PM of someone who didn’t like the colour on the print, asking them to take a colour-blindness test. To my surprise they did, and found out they were partially colour blind.
For a bit of fun, here is the test site:

Take them all if you are bored, and see how you fare. Hopefully I will have some new images from the scan late next week 😃

Will this be using your new grain management technique?
Looks great, really looking forward to this one.
Will you be releasing a grindhouse version?
Goodbye Gary Kurtz, Without you this film would not have been the classic it has become.

Indeed!
He did an incredible job and provided an important balance among the head creators of the films. I am grateful for his work.
May the Force be with us as this literal last-surviving holy grail of an Empire print goes in for its cleaning and scanning. I’m sweating profusely.

Any update on the cleaning process? I think it’s safe to say we are all holding our breath?

Sorry I’m New here but I did miss that…
That’s fine. Back on track you can donate by dropping him a pm which will help things
Couldn’t watch any of the previews, but from the pics you posted here, this is looking amazing.
Could I get a link to the fanres forum? I’m having an issue finding it. Thanks! Great work!

There’s no 35mm thread on Fanres, we’re not allowed to have 35mm project threads there. He just means members of that forum.

Ooooh thanks for the clearification. I appreciate it.
Love the work you are doing. How can I donate to help this project out. Been lurking since last year and finally made an account.
Is Poita doing alright?
Is the original print really that colorful?
Picture of the grindhouse I downloaded from tn1.
Vs the image from earlier.
Hoth was definitely blue – moreso in some shots than in others, this being one of the bluest ones. I believe Poita’s image was not yet corrected for age-related fading, and also was just a photo of a projected image, so there’s all the autobalance/room lighting/projection issues mixed in as well, so it’s not reference quality. But it’s a lot closer than the Grindhouse version. Mostly because IIRC Grindhouse was severely faded and the “restored” colors were more of a guess, and it looks like they may have used GOUT as a reference (and GOUT is known to be both desaturated and pink-shifted).
Also chiming in with my hopes that Poita is doing okay.
Any updates on this?

Good question, Is the project still alive ?
