Making our own 35mm preservation--my crazy proposal — Page 21

The seperation masters were indeed used to make new parts for the 97 SE.

Oh, were they?  I've read your page on that subject but I didn't remember that they had been used--that's a good sign, at least.

Again I wonder where that '77 crawl and first shot in the GOUT came from.  Recently it was mentioned that there was some smear or something as the blockade runner first goes by.  I've noticed that too, and whatever caused it might indicate that the source they used isn't in as good condition as it otherwise appears, and a higher resolution scan might bring out other such flaws that non-anamorphic letterbox resolution doesn't show.  Still, I'd probably find stuff like that forgiveable, because it would be way better than what we have . . .

didn't Negative -1 join in his efforts and offer the prints, with the idea that it will never be seen or shared ?

Not sure... but the idea of it never being seen or shared still kinda stinks.

 never is a very long time, i agree..

 

and sharing 'a restoration' (not mike's!) could

still happen... it's just a lot of roadblocks keep

coming up when looking into how to get the

transfer done..

 

i never wanted to put my eggs into one basket,

but sometimes you have to make do with the

opportunities presented to you..

 

feel free to speculate...(since you will anyways)..

 

sorry to come off so cryptic, but i think it was agreed

a long time (in a galaxy far far away!) .. the less said

at times until there's something concrete going on..

the better off we all are..

 

it's been a few years already, and finally knowing

what i'm/we're up against, was more than half the

battle...but there is a light at the end of the tunnel,

and it's not a train!

As I said before, good luck Negative One. I know what you're up against and I just hope that someday you manage to get the prints transferred.

Apparently, an unofficial film restoration may be in the works, judging from the high resolution of that photo; though, mverta doesn't want to share for fear of legal trouble.

 

 

 

Sweet merciful crap! That picture is incredible.  I totally understand why it's hush hush, but WOW!

You got a lot of nerve. What happened to deleting all your posts and starting your own forum? Why not just stay there? In any case at least your future posts will provide us with lots of comedy relief.

Yeah, I don't remember the deleted posts, perhaps you are thinking of someone else?

 yeah, i did delete a lot of posts a long time ago (for privacy sake),

and there was another private board, but it was only up for awhile.

besides there's nothing posted here thats incriminating or drawing

attention anyways. so why worry about it? people are obviously still

interested in any progress (are you?).

If there is indeed any progress, some of us here believe there is none, there has been nothing to prove otherwise.

Banned?

I guess DWHN had been warned previously or something....

I think it's rather safe to say it's real, there are those that have seen some of it. :)

There is cause for much happiness. :)

I have seen some of it, I retract my earlier statement, it is just a waiting game now.

Thanks Negative1

It's definitely real, and it looks pretty good.  Not perfect, obviously, but a fuckton better than the GOUT.

Author

I remember this project too.  I am glad that it seems to be going somewhere.  Wish I could also see the progress... :)

A JPG.  Looks like what it is purported to be.  I will say no more.

Gotta agree with Molly. Nothing to shit bricks over, but it is nice to see what might be evidence of ground in this project.

Whatever. Wake me up when there's a torrent. And given this is on a stage that goes little beyond speculation, I might sleep longer than Ripley.

See you in the future, boys.

Restoration takes time, that's for sure. But the end result will no doubt blow the doors off anything seen before. :)

From what I've seen so far, it already does.
