Just a reminder, we are collecting donations right now.

You should a have all gotten a PM by me on how to pay. If not shoot me a PM

Thank you again to all the donators!

I sent you a PM.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.

I’m late to the party, but I think this is the best song. Enjoy!

Ok, we had someone that was going to pay $50 but now instead $25.

So we are now back down to $35 that still needs to be donated.

For everyone who has pledged please start sending the donations now.

That was me. I'm sorry, guys!

We lost internet/telephone/TV at home and we now have to pay for repairs.

I'm just happy my wife let me put in the $25... :-)

I'll stick my $10 in.

So that makes $25 left!

How do you plan on making this available? Just a h264 encode authored to BluRay, or would it be possible to get a lossless encode, straight from the scan as well.

Clockwork Orange is 8 effin reels, that thing is expensive to ship.

Matrix is on 6, if you transfer the reels to cores, it saves a little space and weight.

What's this about A Clockwork Orange?

How do you plan on making this available? Just a h264 encode authored to BluRay, or would it be possible to get a lossless encode, straight from the scan as well.

It is a ways off yet, straight from the scan will mean plenty of scratches, glitches, splices and 16bpp wide gamut, so it won't be of much use to most people.

It would also weigh in somewhere between 10-20TB in size.

Remember, a theatrical print is not a negative, it will be scratched, dirty, potentially have some missing frames, and will be considerably softer than a neg would be, and in many cases, softer than the BD release of any given movie.

Prints are often a bit crushed in the blacks and whites as well.

They are however, the way most people saw the movie at the cinema, so a more accurate representation of the way the movie was first experienced.

No problem! I hope we can do this if a decent print of THX 1138 ever pops up.

I'd be curious to know if the print is hard matted to widescreen?

Nope, all the release prints of the Matrix were scope as far as I know. Have never seen a flat print anywhere.
