hey guys,

yeah, it's been what? another year?

(of silence) i know...

well, the 2- 35 mm prints of star wars i have are

still waiting patiently for someone to do a HD

transfer of them...

don't get me wrong, i've tried through several

different people, and looking on my own... but

for some reason the negotiations always seem

to break down in the end....

scanning them manually obviously is not the way

to go due to too many problems.. i have worked

out a deal to at least preserve the prints properly

so they wont deteriorate any further than they

already have (and the same with the Empire

Strikes Back print)....

it looks like 1) the prints of course are too fragile

to ever be project again 2) they can only be scanned

once or twice before they are really unuseable..

so we're going to have to be extra careful with them..

on the other, due to economies of scale, time, and pricing,

it will probably be better to try for a 2k-4k preservation

and do it right......

again, no timeline or timeframe right now..

wheels are turning though..

later
