Scooby-Doo (2002) 4K 35mm Restoration (OPEN MATTE) (Request)

I have just seen one of my favourite films going for less than $1k on eBay as an Open Matte. Is it possible for someone here to start a fundraiser to get this bought and scanned? I would love to do it myself but as I haven’t done it before I think it would be better left to the people that have done this before.

For me, it would cost £1,104.31 total.

US $799.99 (£666.66)
+ US $289.04 (£240.87)
+ US $236.14 import charges (£196.78)

Scanning I’m not quite sure about, I have no clue where I would get it scanned here in the UK for a decent price.
Something that would be able to be a fundraiser would be something like a Gugusse Roller or Kinograph.

You can scan it in the US if you buy it (so no import charges and postage should be more like $50). Scanning about $350 (on a real scanner).

I live in the UK so scanning would be about £600 per reel. If there’s any way to fundraise to get someone from the US to buy this it would be greatly appreciated as I think shipping to a US address would cause to many issues from here.

This is the type of quality you can get out of the Gugusse Roller.

I’d absolutely chip in as much as I could to get it scanned

I have a scanner in London that could do the entire scan for less than £600, but it’s not worth sending the film from the US to the UK just for scanning. It can be done to higher quality in the US - join my discord channel and send me a message there.

Which is very rough on film and cannot handle 1,000ft reels let alone 2,000ft reels. The only things that DenisCR can scan on it is trailers and other similarly short reels like music videos, snipes, and theatre ads. The Gugusse Roller is a Raspberry Pi project really, not a film scanner.

I’ll make an account and contact you, I can start a fundraiser and get it sent to you in the US.

Also happy to donate as I would love to see the open matte version of this. Keep us updated in regards to fundraising, excited to hopefully see this!

I was wondering if their is any updates on the project?

Project Back open if anyone is interested. Received the Film today 6 reels. Heavy stuff.

YES! Thank goodness, was worried it had been forgotten about! I am very interested in helping to fund this project 😃

Really interesting to see the full frame in these clips, and the transfer looks great! I’m sure the Blu-Ray is accurate to what was released theatrically, but some shots have always seemed a little too cropped down. Would love to see the full film like that, whenever you decide to put it out there.

Very interested to donate to this as well to get this made and check this out.
