Burnt bridges on purpose because that place was toxic, and vile. There’s a reason why I deleted every damn message there, and bounced the fuck out. You’ll never know.
Good riddance.

Toxic and vile?

It is not. I won’t stand for you slagging off my server. It’s got a good, positive vibe and it’s been for the most part attracting good people. There’s a reason you don’t see me spamming and promoting it everywhere - people who are interested find their way there and I don’t want just random people joining for the wrong reasons.

I had no ill wishes against you AdmiralNoodles. That said you decided to purposefully burn your bridges and that’s on you. You should own up to your own behaviour and apologise. I actually apologised to TGR97/Wedge over your behaviour so please take some personal responsibility of your own and make your own apology.

Here is what you claimed:

This project seems dead in the water, and the project host ran off with the funds.
Nothing new, nothing lost.

  1. The project lead is here. 2. One of the scanner’s representatives is here. Both HERE on OT and over on my Discord. 3. One of the Moderators of OT knows the scanner rep that I’m talking about and has many years of relationship. Same with me I know and trust this man. So claiming that there’s fraud is outrageous. TGR97 Has done nothing wrong. Scanning can take longer than expected, it’s happened MANY times before it’ll happen many times in the future. Case in point I thought I had a scanner for a print a couple of months ago, but he had retired suddenly without my knowledge and turned the business over to someone else.

TGR97’s scanner will only scan if the results are perfect, that’s why it’s taking a while it has nothing whatsoever to do with what you claim.

This entire drama was so fruitless and sour. These are passion projects that take enormous amounts of money to buy the prints and then enormous amounts of time and more funds to restore. Nobody here has an assembly line where they can churn out products ready to consumed at the drop of a hat. Most of us work underpaid jobs, have numerous personal, family-related issues, health issues, etc. The biggest issue is time. The fact that such projects are at all happening is a miracle. To act like a crybaby because one has helped fund a project is unwarranted. People who have no patience and are unable to trust others should just do it on their own and not cry or rant here, or anywhere. Peace!

I’m trying to figure out what is the latest, “best” version of Jurassic Park (1993). As in, highest scan possible of either the OCN or a theatrical 35mm print, in the original color grading/timing and full (open matte) framing (I don’t mind seeing the boom mics entering the frame sometimes). There’s several threads going on about this subject.

Original Jurassic Park Trilogy 35mm Preservation Project
Team Negative1 - Unofficial Jurassic Park 35mm
Info Wanted: Jurassic Park - 35mm Restoration Project?
JURASSIC PARK 35mm 4K scan
Info: Jurassic Park - Bootleg / Workprint / Extended Cut on video

I don’t have access to any private trackers or usenet newsgroup. Hopefuly someone can inform me on how to obtain/help/fund any of the projects.

I don’t think there is any need for a Dolby Vision or HDR grade to create colour that closely matches the prints. There was no Dolby Vision or HDR in 2001 or a decade from then.

I believe that 8bit SDR doesn’t quite capture what many theatrical prints deliver and certainly not what original camera negatives can. So you actually do need HDR, even if only maybe just a modest bit, to match film ideally. You also need wide gamut color, something beyond REC709 primaries (at least for some films, it depends, of course, if something is all dusty tan and gray, it won’t make a difference, if it has intense deep yellows, reds, etc. without going to wide gamut color you will clip away some of the original colors).

I understand, but I was thinking of 10 bit SDR, not 8-bit. I don’t have an HDR monitor or an HDR-capable TV, nor am I capable of buying one at this point. So, for me, 4K 10 bit SDR is the maximum image format I can watch at home. My monitor is 1920X1200 (16:10). I can watch 4K SDR, but not HDR.

Hello. I already have both versions of the Jurassic Park 35mm scan but would love to donate and get access if you have a 35mm scan of The Lost World: Jurassic Park with the original theatrical DTS audio mix.

Is this one of the existing scans that are out there or is there yet another 35mm scan of JP?

It is my own version that I made. I found a french 35mm copy and used the 2009 DVD’s sound. I could give you the french version in exchange for The Lost World too

No one will be able to anymore. It’s the “Donor’s Only” Club, now.
