Glad to hear from you poita. Has a date been set for your second surgery? And those scans look amazing.

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!

Is the ESB frame color corrected?

No, this was just a very quick correction to determine if the print is too red faded. I think it looks fantastic.

What’s the internal temperature of a TaunTaun? Luke warm.

These scans are from the 'rented' print you talked about earlier, right.

Any news of the 16mm LPP?

These are not from the rented print, but it will be being scanned soon.

The 16mm prints also have all been scanned and are being returned to their owner this week.

 The print is quite red, this is just a balance-set, no colour correction as such other than balancing out the red. It should look a lot better after a proper correction, but the print is quite red.

 No, still awaiting a surgery date, still in a fair bit of pain, so not doing much.  Just finished moving house, still have no internet, so won't be on here much until that is all sorted out.

 The 16mm prints owner. Are you talking about Marvins?

I know that he is waiting for some prints to be scanned.

No, I don't know anyone named Marvin.

Apart from that little Martian.

That's awesome then! Really glad to know that! :-)

Thanks for the updates. Our team members do not contact all the other ones. Some haven't spoken to the other ones at all. It's on a need to know basis.

I think that is the problem with a team account, it makes it impossible to know whom one is talking to, and leads to a lot of confusion, especially in non-team threads.

 Ah, well, in that case, I do know a Marvin!

And the scans are *finally* done, I swear those prints were cursed, but they are, thankfully done. Still need to be stabilised and corrected, but the raw scans are in. If Marvins is happy for sample images to be posted, I can start a thread for them.

BTW, the ESB print is pretty faded, this is what a raw frame looks like:

The correction done on the posted images is only rough, to check that the colour is still lurking in there.

I'm putting together a team to work on restoring these scans.

I need at the very minimum:

  1. A colorist

  2. Two dirt cleaners

  3. An artist to fix really bad (e.g., big scratches) damage, just in case

  4. A QA person with deep knowledge about the film

Volunteering will obviously get you early access to the scans, but you must have the skills, free time, and equipment necessary to do the work.

I plan on wearing a few different hats. Send me a PM if you're interested.
