Compare my new scan project Raiders of the Lost Ark (left - no color correction. Color its same like my film print) and Raiders of the Lost Ark 35mm LPP Theatrical Experience - v1.0 (right)

What is the origin of that print? What year? It looks waaay too warm compared to any print I have seen on super 8mm, 16mm or 35mm. Is it from 1981-82?

Hi, material is ORWO and it is 1985. I have promised two more film copies so I will make a comparison but will also be on ORWO material.

I think you made a great point - scanning positive film prints is not ideal, we’d dearly love to scan the original negative or interpostive which will never have a problem with black or white levels the way that film prints can have.

Out of question, what restoration software do you use?

I use Davinci Resolve.

Here’s the full comparison of the last part of the 16mm (top) vs 35mm (bottom):

Everything depends on the color quality of the film print and film print material. We have mainly ORWO film material here. It will look different on any film material like Technicolor, Eastmancolor, Agfa, ORWO etc. It would also be best to get a negative film, which is probably impossible. How many movie copies of the print so many color irregularities. If you want to scan the positives of a movie it will never be as it should be. These are old movies.
When you watch at one film on 4 film print, each copy will have different colors. This video looks like the film was 35mm Technicolor what’s best for scanning a positive film.

Sorry my english I use google translator.

Getting The Last Crusade is already taken care of. Temple of Doom isn’t hard to find either.

Sometime in the future they will show up.

Temple of Doom is my next project 😃

This film copy has a single problem. It’s a combined copy. 2 in 1. When you play at the projector on a large screen, everything is fine, but as you scan it, there are differences. It’s a shame but the copy is in good shape. Sorry my english but I use google translator 😦

It is very hard to get an accurate representation of a theatrical print in HD video because of color space and dynamic range limitations. HD video simply doesn’t have the range, so a lot of tweaking must be done to squeeze the range in. HDR video goes a long way towards getting us much closer, but it is a ways off from widespread adoption (if it ever is).

Can you tell me any more about the scan? Was it done in RAW format? Do you have any video samples?

I do not have video sample yet. First I need to scan all 6 reels and then make a video sample. It was scanned in RAW.

That looks great! All it needs now is some selective saturation and a curves adjustment:

Yes yes 😃

This is my scann 35mm film print Raiders of the lost ark. No color correction.

I have the cinema DTS discs for this film.

😉

Cool.
This film print has stereo optical sound in Czech language 😦

thxita said:

Are you planning to share it privately with community members?

When it’s done I put here sample.

thxita said:

It looks lovely! What do you plan to do exactly?

Nothing. I’ll make a bluray and watch it on the projector 😃

Thank you very much I apologize once again

I accidentally clicked on another post. I’m very so sorry. Please, how can I move it to another thread?

Jonno said:

I love it!

By the way, this should probably be in ‘preservations’, not ‘fan edits’ - unless you’ve recut the film before scanning it 😉

Sorry. I also noticed it. I do not know how to move it now. 😃

My next project 😃

crampedmisfit1990 said:

What was edited on the blu-ray?

For example picture cropping, film grain and color grading.

RU.08 said:

Sweet, did you have it scanned at 4K?

Yes 4K

JayArgonaut said:

I love this film. 😃 Why have you chosen it for a project? Is the Blu-ray not up to scratch?

I love the 35mm film. The color and just everything 😃 I do not like edited old movies on Blu-ray.

My next project 35 mm

Another film for my collection

Not bad. Not bad at all. I really like this open matte presentation.

Did you look at the clip? It’s 16x9. It’s not open-matte.

I’m sorry but my friend did wrong sample. I redid sample but still dailymotion a cropped image. If you download the sample so the format is correct 1.85: 1 and no 16: 9.

new sample: ( the old sample does not work )
