Same here, been trying to contact them for a while now via this thread, by email (discord links are all expired). I’d be more than willing to become a regular donator, and help with the current situation.

I should add to my previous comment that I am willing to contribute to the project, if there is still a way to do so. Whether for this specific movie or another one the group may be working on. I would honestly consider it an honor to have a hand in preserving such an important piece of film history.

So, according to Papai2013, only the 1994 VHS release of Jurassic Park has the correct color grading. What about the 1994 LaserDisc? Is it the same as the VHS, or is it different?

Not sure but these images are very close to the original theatrical 35mm so compare whatever versions to these and see what looks closest:

For references to compare to home media versions of Jurassic Park. Here are some links to frames of 35mm scan timed to the 35mm print, most are re-sized to UHD size but a few are full res:

I put these first few in ProPhotoRGB format since these ones definitely have some colors that need wide gamut and get clipped by sRGB regular gamut. If not viewed with a color-managed browser or image viewer they will look really bad though and all faded and weirdly twisted tint. And obviously if not viewed on a wide gamut display set to wide gamut mode you’ll still get the beyond sRGB colors clipped away, mix of 1.85:1 and open matte:

Not just the JP '94 VHS, but the first VHS editions of JP2 and JP3 also contain the original 35mm theatrical colour timing, despite the image being in 4:3 aspect ratio. All subsequent VHS editions have a altered colour grading, which looks flat and colder.

I am not sure about the Laserdiscs having the original theatrical grading.

Please could I get access to the Open Matte Prints of all 3 Jurassic Park Films.

Thank you for preserving the Jurassic Park trilogy.

That would be amazing to gain access to. Would you be able to send it to me whenever possible.

Also would you be able to share the Lost World and Jurassic Park 3 as well.

Project is not finished yet. TGR97 is not on this forum a lot, and discord links are expired, so we are kind of in the dark here. If anyone on the discord can send private invites to donors that be great 😃 (you can PM me for donation proof)
