Crazy this is not out still? If I get time I will just scan it for everyone for free I may have a print of it somewhere either Part 1 or Part 2…

Hey Pete, whatever happened to that “Re-Animator 35mm scan” you were going to post through your Patreon 😃

Hey everyone,

I want to address the accusations around the Re-Animator leak. Honestly, I find it ironic that my integrity is being questioned. Let me be clear: I did not leak that film. If you think otherwise, I challenge you—show me a single shred of evidence that directly links me to posting or sharing it. You won’t find it. Accusations without proof are just noise.

Now, for those who actually know my work, you’ll know I’ve put in serious time and effort into this community. I’ve helped bring real visibility to 35mm scans—actual visibility, not just chatter. People in the industry are talking about it now. I’ve traveled, I’ve met people, and I’ve done the groundwork.

Also, I’ve delivered on every promise I’ve made—often in under a month. And unlike others who just threw money at a Cintel, I took the time to understand the mechanics and build my own 35mm scanner. I’m not here to just ride a trend—I’m here to perfect the process.

So before throwing out accusations, maybe take a moment to look at the bigger picture and ask: what have you done to move this scene forward?

Let’s stop with the finger-pointing and actually work together. On that note—regarding Toy Story—I thought I had copies of the first and second films, but I was mistaken. If anyone can get me the reels, I’ll scan them for free. Let’s make something positive out of this.

Maybe embracing our passions is the way forward? You guys all thought I was full of shit & it turned out that I was for real. So what you guys unfairly judged me… Happens… But lets all move forward.

Re- Toy story I will help out for free as much as i can to not let the people in this thread down. Big love guys.

You put up on your Patreon that you were releasing a 35mm scan of Re-Animator. I still have the screenshot before you took it down when everyone messaged you. It was also posted in the Discord. You were literally trying to make money off the scan I paid a lot of money for. And I know for a fact that you don’t have a scan of it. Especially then. You aren’t very smart.

So did I leak it or not? Did you ever ask your self that the picture was just a picture to throw people off & I released Batman… Dude, I never leaked your film or make money doing this at all. Also, if I wanted a Re-Animator badly with out paying. I would scan my print & scan the film myself.

Honestly, I think maybe do some research on me. I supported your releases not because I needed the film but because you are a fellow fan of scanned films. I actually, I have a massive collection & I am buying prints every day.

Scan of what? Re-Animator? Actually I can prove to you right now that i donated. maybe check under my other handle? lol… Jesus christ you guys are out to lunch… You even made 2 versions ding dong…

Also you did napoleon dynamite? Did i share that?

“Did you ever ask your self that the picture was just a picture to throw people off & I released Batman…” Ok, I’m going to be very blunt and this is the last time I’m ever responding to you. You either think everyone else is mentally handicapped, you’re the worst liar in existence, or you’re actually less smart than I ever could have imagined. I’m actually astonished you actually wrote this out and thought another human being would take it seriously. You donated 10 dollars to 1 project and then you immediately started sharing clips of it on Twitter calling it your “personal”. And then you made a Patreon saying you had a “35mm scan of Re-Animator”. I have your Patreon archived from then on two separate sites, and have a screenshot. Anyone in the world can go look at the archived web page see that you were going to release a “35mm scan of Re-Animator” after you received my encodes, and were showing it on Twitter. At least you haven’t tried to make the even worse argument that it was one of your blurays with grain and scratches slapped on it. These are not supposed to be shared anywhere at all, in any capacity. That’s why all my projects are now done in private topics with a handful of trusted donors and in the locked away discord section. And all this is extra hilarious because you were the only one who said you didn’t want to talk to anyone on OT or Discord anymore. Remember when Dave talked to you and you acted all nice and said you just wanted to be left alone, then right after blocked everyone and started crying on Twitter, making up shit and posting your inept videos? I’ve tried to be nice to you and I don’t care if you whine and cry about me until Jesus comes back, but I’m 100% not going to let you come to someone else’s topic and let you act like a maniacal asshole. Especially when YOU said you didn’t want anything to do with this place or the Discord server. Remember we’re the “OT guys” and we just “want to bring you down”? So why are you even here? We all know why.

All 4 are done! Just have to get around to the trailers and presentation reel. Thank you so much everyone! Maybe one day we’ll get Battle done as well.

Results look pretty damn good!

check your pm’s 😃

Beneath the Planet of the Apes has been scanned! It was in much better shape than I ever thought it would be in. Here are some screenshots from the preview encodes. These are nowhere near the full quality so keep that in mind. Also screenshots from reel 1 and reel 2 had the right part of the film cropped by accident when encoding the previews but you still see 99% of the picture. The full pro res files will not be effected!

I donated years ago and still don’t have them

Aw, I’m a little bummed to hear you say that. You are such a giving part of these communities and to hear you gave money to something and… :sadface:
Hopefully the OP will re-surface for you and other donators. The plus side is that the starting post of this thread isn’t thaaat old, and this whole project is easily something that can still just be being worked on in the shadows at the moment, so :?

This project is not abandoned. They are doing it with their own scanner and it broke so they have to fix it.

I read that argument often lately, but the word “intended” is a crucial premise here as in many cases, it isn’t really but rather a side-effect of technical limitations (which includes our visual system introducing retinal noise as well). Same goes for the stone age low rate of 24 fps only, causing tremendous amounts of temporal aliasing and making a subjectively stutter-free reconstruction difficult.

So while I can understand the sentiment for artistic reasons and preservation, technically, noise isn’t part of the original image which one tried to capture. Noise also limits — or rather defines — measurements such as the SNR.

I’m also entirely up to “preserve” it in terms of not filtering it out, as not only it isn’t possible to do so without losing information from the actual image anyway, but also because it may fit a certain desired look. However, so do noise and crackles on vinyl records which may be preferred emotionally, but shouldn’t be rationally.

One technical advantage of noise in the source shall not go unmentioned though: (self)dithering, enabling a theoretically smooth reconstruction of an unlimited number of shades (and not just 50 of grey) without ugly banding. However, dithering can be artificially added later during the A/D conversion as well in an mathematically optimised way even so even that is a rather far fetched argument.

Some directors have intentionally increased the effect of the film grain during scanning. Stanley Kubrick famously did this with Eyes Wide Shut. And if it’s part of the technology, it’s intended. No one forces you to make a movie to express your artistic feelings. There’s lots of other ways you can do that. And nowadays, you have to intentionally choose to use film. If you’ve seen MaXXXine recently, you’ll notice it has a thick layer of grain. As for 24fps, pretty much every person who’s not Peter Jackson, Ang Lee and James Cameron knows why making every single movie ever into a higher frame rate movie isn’t going to work. At least for a very long time. If you told every visual effects and animation studio that every movie going forward would be 48fps(and therefore double the size of everything), they would probably laugh at you. Either the amount of movies released is going to have to be cut drastically(studios would not be able to do this), or the quality is going to have to drop significantly. And the latter would defeat the purpose of doing a higher frame rate.

I see TN1 was banned from the site. Why is that?

Because the stole a scan of Star Wars A New Hope.

Got everyone written down! There also might be some extra goodies I can add into the project. Like some rare Planet of the Apes TV spots on 16mm film, including a weird black and white promo that I can’t seem to find anywhere on the internet.

Thanks! I have your username written down! Hopefully we get more people.

Thanks all you sexy bastards!
