I’m just stumbling upon this and would LOVE access to these, especially the original JP? Do I still just need to donate or is that closed now that you’re funded? I’m dying for the 35mm JP because I didn’t get to see it in theaters as a kid, mom thought it was too scary so I had to wait for VHS.
Very interested in this as I’ve just discovered the thread. Happy to donate if required.
can i get a link to all the movies.
thank you.
I know im late to the party here but I’m also interested in this project. Where would I get the blu-rays of this?
I really want this movie
I am really interested in your edits of the Jurassic Park trilogy! What’s your progress on them?

Very bold accusation you’re throwing around here. Do you have any proof of this?
Scans don’t just magically happen, they take a lot of time and effort.
I’d be very surprised if this accusation of yours is true, given that it’s been discussed and progress updates in the VFA discord.

Ah, yes. The Sarcasm Defense. Making a baseless accusation and when proven wrong, just making a sarcastic response. Real L behavior.

Yeah this stuff can really take a LOT, and I mean a LOTTTTTTTTTTTT of time. Especially if you want to match 35mm colors, then it can take just more hours than you can even fathom put in over months. Or if something is magenta faded. Or has tons of bad scratches and dirt. Even in the easiest cases and without taking much care for color it still takes quite a while, that simple case takes a long time and trickier or more carefully color matched ones take super extra time longer on top. People can easily put in like ten or even tens of thousands of dollars of man hours into getting these projects done. And nobody gets paid (the funding just covers the cost of the scan and storage, just the raw basic costs and even then, in reality usually not all the actual behind the scenes basic costs are ever really fully covered so most people directly lose money on every project even when funding goals are hit and the best case scenario of breaking exactly even I don’t think actually happens much of the time), they have real jobs or school and other stuff going on. Even getting things to a scanner and back and getting a scan itself can take quite a while (in the case of this project, I don’t know what they are doing for color timing and whether they are going all in to match the 35mm or not or whether it is easier on the scanner they are using to do that, etc. but I know they are using a new custom scanner, apparently quite advanced, but that has apparently had some issues with breakdowns and had a lot of down time which I think has been one of the things most delaying their project here and there isn’t much they can do about that sort of delay but wait for the film to manage to all get scanned by the scanner).

Yup. Far greater priorities compared to a fan project, as it should be. Unless people are rabid and chomping at the bit for this due to the popularity of this trilogy.
Great job hiding your name https://originaltrilogy.com/user/AdmiralWasabi10191/id/66694

Hi, one of the folks in charge of the project here.
First off, false. We collected exactly what we needed and are in the process of scanning. YOU were too impatient despite us having genuine delays due to real-life issues as well as hardware issues that come from having to diagnose issues from a custom machine.
YOU also caused so much trouble on Discord that you got banned and I had to go in and defend you in order to get re-instated, only for you to act like a child once again, and get banned.
Finally, when you decided that a restoration project of this caliber was taking too long, YOU demanded a refund. I issued this refund FULLY almost immediately as I did not want any issues.
YOU were a troublemaker from day one and have caused nothing but headaches for me and others on Discord with your complaining and your antics.
YOU play Mr Smartass so much, so why don’t you try to do your own scanning project. If this project is dead in the water, then maybe YOU should be the one to do since YOU know everything in the goddamn world.
ALSO admins, note this user has been harassing the project and us as well as been on this Forum and several other forums. I am not sure how this one works, but I believe an IP ban maybe required.

We finished JP3 and are in the midst of cleaning it. TLW is scanned. We scanned one reel of JP and then ran into issues and some more issues with the scanner. Fixing it now so that we can finish scanning it

Sour grapes, much?
We finished JP3 and are in the midst of cleaning it.
Curious the method(software) currently used for such cleaning. What do you use? (And I assume this cleaning is getting rid of specks and scratches?)
LightWave = fun times with gfx for me 😃
Using this software https://digitalvision.world/products/phoenix/
Not doing every single frame in the film, just making it less distracting. So mainly heads/tails and anything that might pop up in between. It’s auto clean but then go through manually to make sure something didn’t get removed that it shouldn’t touch. Then lots of manual cleaning because auto only sees so much, depending on what level you have it set to. It takes many tedious hours to do this, frame by frame.

Ah, thanks for that info. What are your thoughts on this. Alleycat had this in a thread of his over at FanRestore
“…was then taken into Topaz for some further cleaning”
Do you have any thoughts or experience using the AI stuff (ala Topaz) for de-specking/de-scratching? Is it good for only certain situations maybe? Or do you really think Phoenix would be/is better?
LightWave = fun times with gfx for me 😃
Not software i ever use for cleaning but Phoenix is designed for this. Also pfclean works well. I have no doubt though, that A.I. will get crazy good at removing and restoring film in the not to distant future. Which is fine with me. I’d rather spend less time doing this and more time enjoying the scan.
Yeah, it will be sweet when some fully automated thing can do the 100% likes of what I/we accomplish with our most careful cleaning/patching. But until then, Phoenix is one thing you 35mm scan guys are using, right-o to that.
Thanks for the replies, DoomBot. 😃

You weren’t banned from my Discord, you quit and burned bridges with everyone you knew who gave you a chance.

Burnt bridges on purpose because that place was toxic, and vile. There’s a reason why I deleted every damn message there, and bounced the fuck out. You’ll never know.
Good riddance.
