Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams– 4K 35mm Scan (Open for Donations!)

 (Edited)

Here’s a little for-fun project y’all might be interested in– I recently acquired a German print of Spy Kids 2 which I’ll be getting scanned! No idea how this movie will look on film compared to the Blu-Ray release, but it’ll be neat to see.

Donations are currently open, and we could definitely use the support for this one, so please PM me if you’re interested!

CURRENT STATUS
The print has arrived to Quazza and will be scanned once he gets around to it!

Depending on donations, I’m anticipating things will move fairly quick with this one (unlike a certain other project people have been waiting for 😛). Updates should be coming pretty quick, so stay tuned for more.

SCANNING INFO_
Print will be scanned in 6.5k by Quazza using a Lasergraphics Scanstation.

DONATION INFO + EXPENSES
Current total: $104
Current fundraising goal: $700

Please PM me about donations. Minimum $10, payment via PayPal (choose “Friends and Family”). FINAL SCAN WILL BE DONOR-ONLY!!!

The cost of the print on eBay was €156 including shipping (about $165). A third of that has been covered by a friend of mine, and I may try to recoup the rest through donations depending on people’s level of interest.

Here’s a (very rough) breakdown of the other expenses:

SCANNING: About $400
SHIPPING FROM GERMANY: €161,62 (about $170)
SHIPPING TO MY Home: $100?

I’m not sure about the domestic shipping cost yet as I’ve never had a feature print shipped to me before. Additionally, this does not factor in the cost of a hard drive, which will likely be about $100 (I could potentially cover this myself if need be).

Wow, enthusiastic reponse, huh?

Anyways, the print is now in Quazza’s possession and will be scanned in the near future. If anybody is interested, please DM me about donating! 😃

Alrighty peeps– I’ve shared a 1080p preview encode on Google Drive with those who have donated. A 4k encode will be coming soon!
