I think Puggo did a capture a few years ago, … It wouldn’t be too hard to rescan it I guess?
Unbeknownst to Puggo - Jar Jar’s Yoda, the first reel saved bad (he checked back to the original capture file to verify). It was irrecoverably corrupted after some 7+ minutes (the remaining 2 files were fine). A reel #1 rescan would be cool. (Puggo's system did introduce chromatic aberration & depth defocus problems that required a few extra steps to counter. If he’s upgraded his hardware since then, that would make it even better!)
Maybe we can trick Robert Duvall into reading the lines over the phone? 😉

He really would be from the future. 😉

Doh! And double Doh!
I will ask Puggo about it when he’s ready to take on the THX tv spot. Might as well bundle things. He’s still working on Jedi at the moment. IIRC, he was in the process of upgrading his gear.

Because you would miss the voice-over intro that introduces the story, which is the whole point of that cut ahah

Well, do I get the job?

Oh I LOVE that! Ahah

So what are we waiting for? Get TV’s Frink to work up the Robert Duvall voice, from Duvall's long list of TV & movie speaking parts, for THX 1138 (like he’s doing for Star Wars re-edits)!
Go Frink go! Go Frink go! |
That’s not as crazy an idea as it sounds. 😉

“I have to escape. I have to escape… Is that napalm I’m smelling?” : D

“I’m gonna give you an engine low to the ground… extra thick oil pan to cut the wind from underneath you. It’ll give you thirty or forty more horsepower. I’m gonna give you a fuel line that’ll hold an extra gallon of gas. I’m gonna shave half an inch off you and shape you like a bullet. I’ll get you primed, painted and weighed, and you’ll be ready to go out on that racetrack. Hear me? You’re gonna be perfect.”

Because there is still money needed for this preservation, is there a deadline in which we are working with(besides the onset of the vinegar syndrome to the film itself)? In other words, is there a date that you need the money by to get the 2nd half scanned?
Not really, once the HDD is delivered to destination and we get the OK to send the second part to be scanned I’ll post it here and then it will be a matter of “how quickly do you want it done?” 😛 but I’m sure the funding will be completed by then.
Speaking of which, I have to update the donation list…
I am on a hard deadline of my software license expiry, I’ve renewed one, but I don’t have the couple of thousand to renew all of the licenses once my current ones expire, so it will be done quickly 😃
Again, anyone with even a vague interest in preserving this film, even a single dollar donation helps.

When do they all expire, my friend? I thought you only had one software to renew (and that you did)
Definitely help! THX 1138 is arguably George Lucas’ best film and it has a kicked-around history that seeks to hide it’s superior origins. What follows is my personal theory of the film’s release history. But don’t worry, I’m good – just ask Dr. Watson:
George Lucas | v.1 1970 | v.1.WB 1971 | v.1 1978 | v.2 1983 | v.3 2004 | v.4 2010 |
version 1 - 1970 (88m?)
the Lucas original & finished cut of THX 1138
(un-released when it was taken away from him by Warner)
version 1.WB - 1971 (86m?)
the Warner Bros.’ re-edit
(released to theaters - a flop)
(cuts; sequence re-ordering?)
version 1 - 1978 (88m?)
back to Lucas’ original & finished cut
(released to theaters & TV broadcasts [16mm] under Lucas’ terms after Star Wars success - a flop)
version 2 - 1983 (86m)
Lucas’ next edit
(re-edited for TV broadcasts & home video [LD, Beta, VHS, CED] - builds to cult status)
(less some SEN shots; sequence re-ordering?)
version 3 - 2004 (88m)
Lucas’ next edit
(added Computer Graphics & re-coloring, sequence re-ordering, and out-takes for TV broadcasts & home video [DVD] - cult status)
version 4 - 2010 (88m)
Lucas’ next edit
(added tweaks of coloring, etc., for TV broadcasts & home video [Blu-ray] - cult status)

BTW, if someone known-here can accept my U.S. mailed donation, to forward with his own donation, PM me for mailing arrangements. (I don’t PayPal.) [Thanks.]
To ensure THX could be done, I paid for another 3 months of Nucoda, that stung! Everything else runs out at the end of the Australian financial year, i.e. June.

We barely have enough time. Deadline AS SOON AS POSSIBLE then! I’m not kidding. Shipping to Australia from Europe takes its time and you’re gonna need time to work on it too. We are just above 100 euro short, anybody wanting to contribute, this is your time! :p

You have a PM. 😃

Hey thxita,
Send me a PM, I’m willing to contribute some to the cause. I just saw this thread elsewhere. I hope I’m not too late 😦
Sent. Thanks for working on this preservation.

Oh ok, cheers mate. Private topic might not be the best term for it then 😉
I’m moved by all the help that came our way. I’m at the end of the tunnel so whoever contacted me for sending a donation, feel free to go ahead, but anyone new who just found out about this project, rejoice because I think we are fully funded. I don’t need to accept any more help.
The news is, we managed to speed up the process a bit and next week I’m sending the last part of THX to be scanned while Poita should be receiving the HDD with the first part soon enough.
I’ll keep you posted.
