Really interested in the project, maybe even in contributing. Just one question first, is there something about the blu ray release that is wrong or messed up that you are trying to fix with this project. Or are you doing this just to do it, for the fun/educational process.
Really just curious, most of the projects I see here are trying to fix poor color timing or subsequent director/studio meddling. What’s your reason?
All my projects are just for fun. But open matte 35mm scans are the most fun 😃. Napoleon Dynamite just had a new 4k restoration made and it showed at Sundance a few months ago. That is the official look, and the best the movie will ever look as Jared Hess the director approved it. Jared doesn’t have a history of doing very weird regrades of his movies, and there’s never been any censorship or terrible altering for Napoleon Dynamite. So when the inevitable UHD disc gets released, I highly recommend buying it. If you decide you would like to donate, you can PM me.
