Hey guys– update time!
First of all, huge thanks to everyone for the friendly and helpful messages over the past week. I already have a far better sense of how these project work than I did when I made the post, particularly in terms of the scanning and restoration process. Glad some folks are interested in the project, I think it’ll turn out great.
As for the Toy Story print– I’m happy to say that it’s been fully paid for and is currently in great hands. I’ve been coordinating with our Aussie friend Valeyard (@RU.08), who very kindly offered to pick the print up and hold onto it for me. He drove a hell of a long distance in order to do this, so huge shout out to him!
Anyways, Vale is currently holding onto the print, along with another very exciting one which he picked up…^^ He’s going to secure some canisters for the film reels since they didn’t come with any, and then we’re going to work out a plan from there for cleaning+scanning.
In other news, I’ve set up a PayPal for donations! If you want to contribute, you can do so right here. There’s certainly no obligation to contribute, but any amount will help a ton, so I’ll appreciate anything I can get. If you do donate, be sure to include your OT username in the payment description as well so I can thank you/give you shoutouts!
I’ll be posting another update as soon as possible, so stay tuned. Again, many thanks for all the messages and support I’ve gotten. The road looked rough ahead, but I’m glad I’ve got a friend in you all! 😁
Much love,
~Tristan
