Hey,

Here’s an idea, which I’m going to post here and maybe on AMPS too.

The Day Time Ended is a cheesy semi-cult sci-fi movie from 1979, produced by schlockmeister Charles Band, with effects by stop motion legend David Allen. The film has never been available on video in its original 2.35:1 format, only in pan and scan (even the DVD releases just recycle the old P&S transfer). I’ve always wanted to see it in its OAR. Luckily, I found a 16mm print on eBay, and when I asked, the seller told me it indeed looked squeezed, meaning it’s scope widescreen.

If I win the print, would anyone be up for transferring it?
