update : 10/18/08

well, i'm giving up on putting  up more shots, until my computer/scanner

issues get worked out...

i've got an alternate, so lets see how that goes, i've got an older computer,

i just need to find an old hard drive, and set it up just to do scans.....

================================================

got the DHL tracking number for the other 3 reels for the Star Wars

english print... i'm still keeping an eye out for reel 3 (i keep forgetting

if it's 3 or 4, i'll know once they all get here)..

 

sometime next week, we'll be able to do a ton of comparisons and figure

out which print is better..

 

i should be working on the comparisons for reels 5 and 6, but as i said,

i've been having issues scanning them

===================================================

i'm making plans for the test reels to be shipped out, and once they get

it, its just a matter of them doing the transfer... i'll have a whole bunch

of USB hard drives ready to go, so we can put the files on there.... or i'll

just have him ship me some drives from their end....

 

i've still got plenty of time on my hands from not working, so i hope all through

november, and december i'll have something to work with, if all goes as planned..

 

remember, we're still not sure how long it will take, maybe we can get the data

from 1 reel done, and see how that goes first.....before doing all of them..

 

if 'Star Wars' works out, then i'll try to push for getting 'the Empire Strikes Back' done

as well.....along with some trailers..........

 

still keeping an eye out for 'Return of the Jedi'.......... here's hoping something turns up,

or maybe next year?

================================================================

once again, thanks to all the doubters, and critics, and complainers out

there that think this isn't going anywhere, and we aren't making any progess..

that means there will be less people to deal with once we get going..

since you don't believe any of this is going to happen anyways, or

that its taking a turn for the worst.

 

i'm glad that you don't care about this project, and you probably don't want

to be involved anyways... so just keep skipping over

these threads, and avoid all the scans too..thanks..

================================================================

i'll let you know as soon as the reels arrive sometime next week, and we'll get

back on track to do some major comparisons..

 

later
