Star Wars 1977 releases on 35mm — Page 11

I embarrassingly haven't sat through the SE since I saw it at the cinema, have only ever looked at it in parts. That is why I was interested to see what footage people would really want to see from the OT. I was expecting something with spaceships ;) , but I'll be onto this next week, so will go with whatever is the most requested by then.

 That's not embarrassing at all. Not watching the SE's is how you stay sane.

Awww. everyone loves a sunset.

The takeoff from Yavin and then the X-Wing fleet passing by the red planet.

 This would be awesome!

I would love to see anything from the Death Star attack - especially those shots that were replaced in the SE.  But honestly, I'll be happy seeing anything from this project. 

Thanks for the update, Poita.

Thanks for all the suggestions, keep them coming, I'll start work on Monday.

I'll try to upload some stills of other scenes requested if I get a chance.

Then it will be nose to the grindstone time...

You found my yearbook photo!

I saw an episode of Australian pickers where they went to some old movie collector's theatre where he had at least three reels of Star Wars. Pickers were drooling on it but the guy said he should have "a million dollars" before considering selling it, haha. Are you aware of this guy, poita? He had some unique film equipment at his still working cinema. Just shows you that those are still out there.

Yeah, I know that guy, it is faded Eastman unfortunately.

Okay, sunset it is, will get to work on it shortly.

Hey man, I noticed you were looking for high capacity storage for your 4k transfers, check this out.

likely pretty expensive in the short term, but it'll pay off huge long term.

 Thanks for that, but the 1.5TB discs are $180 each, which works out more than HDDs.

I think LTO6 is more affordable at this stage as a long term archival solution.

Where are you going to find a machine that costs less than 2k USD? The tapes themselves are a good price but the machines are quite costly.

 Machines are around $2K, but the Sony disc machine is $7K, so in that context LTO6 is a lot cheaper.

I think someone was asking about the Bacta Tank in ESB?
