True dat silverwook.  I wonder if M Verta is still on target for 2015?

I wonder why it matters.

Well, it could actually matter greatly - if he finished it before the release of the new SW film and offered it to Disney, they could use it for a BD release, which would be a perfect promo piece for Ep.7, which they keep telling us wants to follow in the tradition of the original films.

Well sure, but has he made any indication he would do something like this?

Much like what occurred last year, with our screening of the Spanish LPP:

This year, it's time for a screening of The Empire Strikes Back.

This will be a digital projection of an early version of our scan. Sorry, we can't give out the details as it's a private screening.

But we'll have pictures, and commentary about it also.

As far as releases go, we've had to rethink our strategy as I mentioned due to having 2 more high quality prints of Star Wars. 2 more prints of ESB, and of course ROTJ also.

It's not even a question anymore about if they will be released. It's just the logistics of dealing with so much data at once. We wanted Star Wars to be first. But then it looked like Empire was going to be done sooner. Now we know that Jedi would be the quickest. Maybe we'll release them in reverse order.

Thanks to all our supporters, who know what we've been doing.

There's a lot of activity going on right now, once things settle down, we can formulate a more optimal release strategy.

Can one garner an invitation to the private screening? I'm in Los Angeles, no idea where Team Negative One hangs out...

+1.  I'm also in So Cal...

(or should I say -1? )

Sock in 3...2...1...

Nope, no socks here. :)  If either one of us were a sock (I assume you were implying that I was a sock for Joel, or vice versa) wouldn't you think he/she would be my sock? I've got more posts...

Now that I think about it, though, I think -1 is in the upper mid-west area (around Michigan)... Kind of rules out a digital presentation that I could get to.

Frink is playing on +1/-1, not implying that you're a sock, ww12345.  At least that's how I read it.

Yes, that.  If I weren't so respectful of this site and all its members, I would make a sock called +1 and...do stuff.

Oh, I would pay to see that, Frink. :)  

It could be a repeat of the patman/patman debacle. lol

Before on the blog, they would have videos showing different parts of their project. There was the opening credits, the entrance to Mos Eisley, etc. they had a counter of how much footage per reel they had cleaned up. This is far from being 1) a hoax and 2) a private venture a la Mike Verta.

Is there any way I could see these samples?

 

I have them on my computer, but I don't want to post them without the team's permission.

Sorry, +1 would be banned right quick.  And I don't want to put Ric Olie in jeopardy.

You mean he's a...

Yes, there is a lot of activity going on.

And there will be color correction on these scans.

These are just raw examples:

We will only be using the sound off the actual films for release.

Which means Spanish/English for Star Wars. English for the others.

These will be the new standard, they will not be synced to any other soundtrack.
