I live in the UK so scanning would be about £600 per reel. If there’s any way to fundraise to get someone from the US to buy this it would be greatly appreciated as I think shipping to a US address would cause to many issues from here.

I have a scanner in London that could do the entire scan for less than £600, but it’s not worth sending the film from the US to the UK just for scanning. It can be done to higher quality in the US - join my discord channel and send me a message there.

This is the type of quality you can get out of the Gugusse Roller.

Which is very rough on film and cannot handle 1,000ft reels let alone 2,000ft reels. The only things that DenisCR can scan on it is trailers and other similarly short reels like music videos, snipes, and theatre ads. The Gugusse Roller is a Raspberry Pi project really, not a film scanner.

I’ll make an account and contact you, I can start a fundraiser and get it sent to you in the US.

You can scan it in the US if you buy it (so no import charges and postage should be more like $50). Scanning about $350 (on a real scanner).

I have just seen one of my favourite films going for less than $1k on eBay as an Open Matte. Is it possible for someone here to start a fundraiser to get this bought and scanned? I would love to do it myself but as I haven’t done it before I think it would be better left to the people that have done this before.

For me, it would cost £1,104.31 total.

US $799.99 (£666.66)
+ US $289.04 (£240.87)
+ US $236.14 import charges (£196.78)

Scanning I’m not quite sure about, I have no clue where I would get it scanned here in the UK for a decent price.
Something that would be able to be a fundraiser would be something like a Gugusse Roller or Kinograph.
