I think we go to the films instead of trusting LDs or DVDs.

Derann had access to the Disney negatives to do their transfers, and the Super8 prints are gorgeous as a result and true to the originals as they were done before the computer age could get a look in.

I propose that I purchase the Super8 prints, scan them at 2K to preserve them, then resell them to be able to purchase another print etc. I would likely lose a bit each time, if nothing else just in shipping, handling and dollar fluctuations etc.

So I'm willing to do this, but if anyone would like to help out with costs, it would be much appreciated. Derann made a lot of these (for sale in Europe mostly, they didn't have US release rights) so we can put feelers out and may even be able to borrow prints or swap them etc.

What do you think?
