Now that I’ve finished V2.0 of my other scans, I decided I want to try to do this long awaited big project. But I have to gauge interest in it first. I did an older scan of the first Planet of the Apes movie but the print owner does not want it to be shared anymore. Don’t ask for it, you’ll just be ignored lol. So, what I want to do is the first 3 Planet of the Apes movies. This project is going to work differently than my previous scans. There will have to be a minimum donation. Probably 60 dollars. I know that is a lot, which is worrisome. I’ve also decided to offer a sort of incentive to donate more, if you donate past a certain amount, I’ll send you the full quality prores files of the first movie as a thank you. Only the first movie. You can PM for more information on that.

I can’t pay for this one up front and I won’t be taking any donations until I know there is a certain level of support for it. If this is successful, I will do the last 2 movies plus some extra stuff as well. The blurays for the Apes movies are kind of bad just because they are old, especially the sequels, so this will be a massive upgrade(hopefully) for the sequels I think. Depends on the condition of the prints. Let me know if you’re interested. The total to do all 3 is 2,190. However I might be able to get this down lower.

How about this humidity?

Got everyone written down! There also might be some extra goodies I can add into the project. Like some rare Planet of the Apes TV spots on 16mm film, including a weird black and white promo that I can’t seem to find anywhere on the internet.

Thanks everyone! Got everyone written down. We’ve got 10 contributors now. Just need 9 or so more and we can get this thing started.

$60 is honestly a great price for all that you’d be offering. Though I’m not particularly a fan of the Ape movies, if you end up one or two donors shy of your goal, count me in.

In the end we will probably be short of the total, just like with all of my scans. Any help is appreciated! So far we have 780 pledged. We just need 4 or 5 more people before I start collecting donations and we can start everything.
