has moved on. You're addressing the Team.

Hello the Team. Please do not allow -1 to post from your account, he has his own.

I've fixed the formatting of your posts above, but I don't have the patience to do this on a regular basis.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.

I’m late to the party, but I think this is the best song. Enjoy!

To answer Team's earlier question...this is why I read this thread.

 I would be too if it wasn't for the fact that we're going to have to wait forever for it.

A lot of people are working really, really hard, and investing a lot of our own money to get Star Wars on 35mm preserved.

It takes enourmous amounts of (personal) time and money, I can't count the hours and don't want to count the dollars that have been put into 35mm preservation of these films.

If the wait seems too long, then one can always start up their own effort, you just have to track down and buy some prints, build or buy a film scanner, somewhere around 80TB of HDDs (say around $3000 worth), build a computer that can handle working with 100MB per frame and dedicate most of your free time to it.

Then you need to go through all 173,000 frames (for each film) make sure none are missing and match the colour to the print, and fix any bad damage. Then sort out the sound track and synch it, and then sort out the best way to get the 30TB or so of film down to something that someone could watch on their home TV. And all that is just to be able to deliver a very rough watchable print, not a cleaned up one.

Anyone can do it, and perhaps someone out there could do it faster, so by all means give it a shot if you want a faster result.

I'm not being harsh, anyone really can have a go at doing this sort of thing themselves, but if you haven't then criticising the time it takes is not really all that productive. It takes more time than you could imagine. Just moving a capture of one reel from one hard drive to another can take many many hours to simply just copy the file. Waiting for anything can be frustrating, but it is even more frustrating working on something huge and it taking longer than you would like.

I can wait patiently! Hamry is keeping me very happy in the meantime.

1) We have multiple high quality copies of Star Wars now. We also have 2 other copies of ESB also. There is no need for any more copies of ROTJ since it's LPP.

2) We're used to waiting for it to be done right. We've had previews, and put up many samples, so there's plenty to show the progress. I would say it's been about 4 years since the start, and maybe $10k of our own money, not including the hundreds of hours put into it.

3) As with all other major projects, Harmy's, Team Blue, Adywan's, it will be done when it's done.

4) Another sample:

Hmm. I wonder how this will play out...

I guess I must be in a good mood this evening. I even put in the two missing apostrophes.

As much as I think the team_negative_one/-1 posting style is absurd, I have to ask: Which forum rule does it violate?

Multiple accounts for one person?

Er, except I'm totally convinced -1 is two totally different people with the exact same idiosyncratic posting style. Wait, I mean Team, er, oh, screw it.

Obviously multiple people are sharing the Team account.  Either that or Neg 1 has a split personality...which I'm not ruling out.

I have a Belgian friend who posted here a couple times in a style not unlike -1.

The main difference being his lines were longer and I think he made more proper use of caps.

I think the footage will look amazing all by itself, no need to mix it with the official BluRays.

As others have said, primarily it's the "one account per user" rule. When Team first joined, I thought it was a different person, but Neg1's idiosyncratic posting (and that some of the IP addresses match) make it clear that he is now using Team's account.

There is also forum etiquette, that dictates that users should consider how their typing may affect the forum experience for other users. Random hard returns are just as annoying, at least to me, as all caps or a total absence of punctuation.

And of course there's the unwritten rule that you should not piss me off.

That's beautiful!  I love those early computer graphics.  Think about how advanced that was for its time.

So... he lied about being far removed from the project then? This just gets weirder and weirder. You'd think if he was trying to be on the low, he'd at least cut the iconic posting style. I'm so confused.

 I thought they were doing that to try to keep the team slightly more anonymous.
