Info Wanted: Delurk and an Inquiry...

Hello all,

I’ve been lurking for a long while and finally decided it was time to post something. It’s very impressive seeing all the work being done to keep the originals out of the dustbin. The DVD’s were the last nail in the coffin for me. I have noticed several mentions in other threads of people having access to 35mm gear. Is it possible for any of you to transfer 35mm to video? I’ve been sitting on some footage of interest for a while, but the only place I knew of that could have done the telecine for me, (no questions asked) apparently went out of business.
With a little luck I may have the Super 8 home movie digest reels of Star Wars transferred to DV pretty soon. I don’t expect the picture quality to be that great, but it will have a good chunk of the mono mix.

Okay, time to log back in. Silverwook, please contact me or Laserman. I am at OriginalTrilogy@yahoo.com.

Oh, and you might want to turn your PMs on.

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
<span class=“Bold”>Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.</span></span>

Jeez, hope you're feeling better SilverWook!
I have 35mm, 16mm, Super8 and 8mm scanning facilities, so can pull from any of those formats to a super hi rez digital file. If you have anything worth transferring, or would like to preserve something that is fading, please drop me a line! Good copies of the old stuff on film is getting more and more rare, at least once it is in the digital realm it doesn't degrade any further...

Feeling better, although the windy weather theatens to rip the roof off here! I only wish my 8mm reels were anamorphic. I did see a complete four reel anamorphic Super 8 print on Ebay earlier this year, but the seller couldn't tell me if it had "Episode IV" on the crawl or not. And the box art was from Jedi, which only confused things.

Glad your better - the pros are in the house and I do think it would be great if you worked with both Laserman and MeBeJedi on this - Laserman MAN you got the cool stuff at hand - I WISH I had that kind of access to equipment like that.

Your in good hands SilverWook
