Fan made SilverScreen Edition Artwork posted on TheStarWarsTrilogy.com’s facebook page - I don’t know about you but I like it!
Looks great! …would it be alright for me to borrow it and make a few minor modifications?
Absolutely!
I was just thinking that it was probably also a deliberate choice to include the letterboxed GOUT with the full screen editions of the 2004 trilogy: If you were buying the full screen set it was probably because you didn’t like the black bars and/or still had a smaller tube TV on which to watch it, in which case the letterboxed GOUT Disc could only look even worse when compared to the clean, ultra sharp, pan and scanned '04 version… Another “See how much better the new SE version is” tactic.
Nice!
And yet they went to the trouble of replacing the '81 crawl… Perhaps that employee was fired for going above and beyond what was requested.
As I understand it, in most cases, the prints were either returned to the studio or destroyed:
Shipping prints around the country (and the world) is expensive, so it was often left to the Theaters to dispose of the prints. Some would just go out back in the dumpster, and may have been rescued by collectors, while others may have been taken by theater employees rather than being destroyed.
If you ever Google “Roddy McDowall FBI” you’ll find out just how illegal it was (and no doubt still is, at least in strictly legal terms) to be caught with prints in your house. The 35mm prints will always belong to the studios.
Obviously a few did survive, and we’re all very grateful that they did. In fact, given the red fading of the Eastman stock of hte 1960s and 1970s, even the studios were grateful that some of their prints had been rescued by collectors because without them some films may have been gone for good.
Well in any case, the account was banned which is why you don’t see any more posts from the team.
TN1 sort of imploded, so who really knows what’s going on there. I know that there are plans to release a recolored and cleaned up version of the Grindhouse soon, so keep an eye out for that.
Will do, and I was going to ask whatever happened to team negative 1 it from the post’s I have read it seemed to go sour with the release of ESB…? Did something happen.?
Nothing happened to the members of the team, but some members of this community made some (false) accusations against them and their account here was banned.
Looking forward to some calibrated scans. Any time estimate for the first ones?
It may take a little while as I’m looking for an affordable scanner. I have the color reference slide, so that’s one important thing on my list checked off. 😉
If you have a paypal link, perhaps a few of us could donate some funds to help you get a good scanner, not just an affordable one?
I think this is a really cool idea:

How hard would it be to produce fan made versions of these?
Sure looks that way. I didn’t mess with it at all.
nice!

It should now be on the organ…
Let me know if you have any problems.
could just upload them to a.b.starwars, or is that too public?
I got it. Capturing now…
I’ve been using Resilio Sync (https://www.resilio.com/individuals/) and it seems to work very well. You just share a folder on your hard drive and provide others with the encryption key, then the files are pulled directly, peer to peer.
Just one nit to pick:
I’ve found cue dots at 27622-625 and 27794-797. If we can agree on those,
then Reel2 ought to begin with 27822, not 823
You’re right of course, in fact I used the info you posted here: http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Reel-lengths/id/11666 to determine that in the first place, but when I started writing the script I got it into my head that 27822 was the last frame of Reel 1 rather than the first frame of reel 2, and so I did the whole thing based on that. It was only after I was all done and the video was posted that I realized my mistake. Didn’t seem worth doing the whole thing over though!
Remember when the worst that could happen was you forgot what was on a cassette and you taped over it? (Unless you broke off that little plastic tab.) Now our technology wipes stuff without even asking first!
I do remember that.
In related news, I recently acquired a little more James Bond Technicolor footage:
Take it away Captain Solo! How does this compare to the official home video releases?
Good thinking. I added guides for PAL users.
Lately I have been Gout syncing a number of sources so I figured I would create a tutorial video demonstrating exactly how I have been doing it. If you have a quicker, easier way please let me know!
