I'll wait for his return here. I was only a member on there because someone paid for me and at the time it was worth the 10 bucks. Since the file section left, not my scene to pay 10 bucks for.

I'll show some highlight comparison shots tomorrow.

When you get a chance, send the Umatic tapes over.

Any flicker you saw had to be the pulldown frames.

DVD video on the left, filtered on the right.

Send those Tissa David reels my way. I can transfer them.

The package should have had the 2nd workprint in it. Not much can be done to it, but it still looks better than before. Too bad I couldn't get rid of the blended frames. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it REALLY hard and then...you just can't. Expect another Rag DVD this week, the one I sent has the wrong aspect ratio.

I picked up Richard Williams' "The Animator's Survival Kit" yesterday. It has a 3 or 4 page sequence of the witch running. Pretty damn cool.

Also... it might be a good idea to crop the left side of the image a little bit. I found that you can occasionally see the edges of cels. The shot with the eunuchs holding swords to Tack's throat shows that the one on the far left doesn't fill the edge, causing you to see a little ribbon of the background. Also, some moments have visible splice lines - they're not supposed to be visible.

TV overscan would get rid of that but on newer HDTVs, it could show. That will be up to Garrett to do so.

Remember, if you hear anyone mention they have a copy of The Thief or it's Workprint on 35mm, I'll pay for the transfer.

If it's 3/4 U-matic, I have the machine to transfer it right here.

For quality media that is cheap. I'm sure it's cheaper than buying 100 packs in stores. I've been ordering and using these discs for years and seriously only had like 3 bad burns I can remember. That's after using literally 1000s.

Paying for 16/35mm transfers isn't a problem for me, as long as it is material worth transfering.

I've finished two DVDs and the last one should be done tonight. Hopefully I can mail them tomorrow before 5pm.

I've done the same thing twice for myself and was going to announce/release it here. You beat me to it.

So I don't have to bother with the Miramax release right?

I got them all today, there sure is alot to go through. Should be fun. I'll fix them all up and send back. What system are you using, PC or Mac? And you said you split the movie into chapters correct?

I haven't received my package yet but I rented the Miramax release to get things moving faster.

I tried emailing you at that address but it bounced back. If you could, shoot me an email at rankio555 at yahoo so I can start on those DVDs. It won't take me long at all to get the material back to you. Replacing it in your timeline shouldn't be a problem. We can go over the details later.

I've come across your restoration on The Thief and The Cobbler recently and I'm very surprised by how much you've progressed from your initial idea. In the area of actual digital restoration, I wouldn't help lending a helping hand. Here is a sample of some restoration I've done:

I can work from VHS too but that sample is not on this machine to show you right now. How exactly are you inverse telecining your footage?
