Anyway, if I can get a loan, and pay the collector to ship the film to Britain, I can get someone to scan the film on my behalf. Then I sell the film off, reclaim my losses and pay my loan back. What could go wrong?! All I need is that someone to scan the film, and somewhere to store it in the meantime.
Actually, depending from where the film is sold you’d be better off looking for someone to hold it for you in its country of origin, and then look for the closet affordable scanner in the nearest region to the location of the film.
Anyway looks like I’ll be starting a 35mm project soonish, not based on one of these films, but another well known animation. So keep an eye out I’ll post about it in the next few days or so. 😉
