Much too early to say yet. The print is very faded and color correction work will take time. I’m not sure who’s going to take that job on once the scanning is done.

In response to the general question: myspleen’s unfortunate decision isn’t going to affect what projects exist and are worked on. It’s only going to affect how they get distributed.

The problem is, said tracker is even harder to get into than the spleen is. I’m still trying to figure out how to get an invite.

Scanning is happening as I type, the print was so scratched up that the first scan wasn’t going to be all that watchable, and all suppliers were out of the wet-gate fluid being used.
I found some unused fluid at another facility, paid too much for it (good old market forces) and the film is nice and soaked and scanning away. It will definitely done before April leaves us.

I just want to make perfectly certain that the cut scene from the end isn’t present. I know you probably would have mentioned it, but I just had to make sure.

That would be a huge find.

Would there be a detectable splice if our print was one of those that was cut?

The fellow dispatched to East coast theaters to physically cut the prints was interviewed recently.

Nobody seems to know who cut the West coast prints.

This is cool. Thanks!

Thanks to our trusty scanner, here is a quick sample, with some colour correction applied (the print is mostly pink).

As usual the damage is worst at the start and end of each reel.

Wow, that second one looks incredible. The first one is super dirty, though that’s to be expected right at the beginning of a reel, as you mentioned.

It’s fascinating seeing this open matte.

This print was $280? That’s a pretty small sum for a complete print!!

Sometimes you get lucky. And no ebay shenanigans helps.

I also had to agree to be the Caretaker at the Overlook this fall. What could go wrong? 😉

The second clip looks fantastic - can’t wait to see the whole film. 😃
Well done everyone!
