JURASSIC PARK 35mm 4K scan + 35mm 4k scans of many trailers Mega Project including the rare Spiderman Twin Towers Teaser, Blade Runner, Pretty In Pink and numerous, some rare, others, see post (WIP - 6.5K scans of JP and trailers complete. Scan data now in hand! Funding of the project is a little past half-way now. Contributor only project for feature. I can't publicly distribute it. Small preservation project.)

but thanks as always for your work MonkeyLizard!

Just curious, what’s your next steps for this?

the 4k 1.85 version with the pink little missing scene insert bits also fixed (as already are in the 1080P standard gamut color version links above, it’s all set, just the rendering out of the video file bogs down machine totally for a few straight days so have to pick the right time), probably will have a few more tweaks, maybe to brachiosaurus scene to make the whole re-render out more worth it

open matte (for now the same as 1.85 ratio Beta 4, just open matte, but also without the reel 1 green emulsion line fix that the 1.85 already has done for that)

side by side verifying color grading for the rest of the reels (so far done for most of reel 1, up until the helicopter lands on the island has been color verified; generally it should be mostly fine for the rest but some scenes might have proved tricky for the overall calibration designed for this and need some tweaks; the overall base calibration did use scenes from other reels already when it was getting made so it has been compared to some bits later on already though actually too) and then doing any scene by scene global tweaks as needed

vertical green lines removed from remaining scenes (or maybe some most key ones first and then the rest later)

maybe patching in the few little blips of missing frames from a better scan source

eventually maybe handling a few tricky scenes where parts of scene need one calibration tweak and other parts of frame a different (or alternative option possibly)

some bits of the most egregious blobs of dirt manually cleaned up

also somewhere in the above mix get the trailers that were a side part of this project processed up and finished, will mix in some of that somewhere along the above stuff
