It’s sad to see the print go. Was very interested in getting it, well.
As for the 16mm, that will do as well I guess. Could you post some screenshots from it? Is it the same anamorphic widescreen print, or cropped to some other ratio? Anyway if you do get your hands on it and need others to contribute, let me know. I am interested to see how it looks before it can be restored.
Also, the full height and width of the print should be preserved in the scan. I have plans to make a 2.00:1 hybrid cut of Titanic using the open matte and the widescreen print source. The 35mm print had more vertical height than the widescreen dvd or blu ray. I hope the 16mm print had the same framing.
Please keep us updated. Thanks.
