I originally made this request on Original Trilogy, but spoRv convinced me to join FanRes.

The short background is that Sindbads gefährliche Abenteuer (German version of The Golden Voyage of Sinbad) seemed to have alternative footage than the standard Columbia home video releases.  Note the people's positions in the boat below (screenshots provided by barhar).

I communicated with Ernest Farino, the publisher of Ray Harryhausen: Master of Majicks books (http://archive-editions.com/), who had a 16mm of the film at one point regarding the different footages.  He mentioned that the Columbia DVD is the original take, not the German satellite TV.

I have been interested in this alternative footage since 2014.  I will also follow up Ernest Farino who is busy revising his books for a 2nd print and was unable to further pursue this himself.

Sky Cinema Nostalgie of Germany will be broadcasting Monday, September 11th at 14:20 - 16:05:

Are there any German members out there that might be able to record this?  I’m hoping it’ll have the alternative angle.

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi everyone,

I form part of two-man restoration project that requires, among other things, matching multiple sources of differing visual quality. This project began in May 2016, has never been attempted before and carries with it a certain degree of historical significance. I would strongly urge you to read this post for more information:

https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=174145

Until some months ago our team included a third member - an Avisynth plugin developer who was helping me with writing a script to match sources as best he could - but it has since become apparent that we cannot rely on him. As such, the project has been at a standstill for nearly 6 months. Therefore I am reaching out to all of you for help. I realise that animation is significantly different to live action and that many of the skills that are applicable to live action do not transfer over directly to animation. Nevertheless, if you feel that you can help, we would like to hear from you. I make no attempt to hide the fact that we are desperate, so please get in contact with me either through this thread, private message or the email provided at the link.

Thank you.

For this project, I'm planning on doing a restoration of The Land Before Time and its first four sequels. Everything will be done in HD, and I plan to restore as much footage to the first film as possible, using techniques similar to what was employed for restorations of A Star Is Born, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and Superman II.

This five-disc restoration, for Blu-ray and DVD, will consist of the following films:

• The Land Before Time: Extended Edition
  
• The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure
  
• The Land Before Time III: The Time of the Great Giving
  
• The Land Before Time IV: Journey Through the Mists
  
• The Land Before Time V: The Mysterious Island
  

Hi havent posted here yet

From New Zealand, currently working on a restoration and upscale of The Simpsons DVDs.

Something that i've been thinking about lately is the restoration of films with 2K Digital intermediate, which is pretty much every film from the last 10 years. 

Lets say you have a film shot on 35mm but DI'd and mastered at 2K. How plausable would it be for a film to be rescanned at 4K, reconfomed to the 2K edit, and re-renderd with 4K elements. We know it can be done, Seinfeld, the Wire, Friends, all reconformed to original neg, going from video masters to HD masters. But what about 2K to 4K. 

I cant think of any 4K UHDs that have had such a treatment. We are pretty early days into the UHD era so that might change.

I think it wont be done, the improvement would be largely minimal for a large expense. 2K looks fine on every screen, even IMAX, and 2K UHDs are selling regardless. And for films with an obnoxiously complex image chain like Lord of the Rings, the process would be incredibly difficult (but id love to be part of it).

Hi all.  I love a good project, be it a classic Chevy, fan edit/preservation or cover artwork and someone told me that this was THE place for at least 2 out 3 of those things.  I don't have a lot of experience in film related projects, but I love films and I am a life-long learner, (as well as a bit of a smart ass), so hopefully I can learn some stuff and contribute when able.

cheers!

Hi everybody,

First all: sorry for my English.

My name is ThePlayer and I'm Italian. I'm new and I hope to stay here for a very long time. I like this forum because I think it's like a Pandora's box: in it I can find everything. I love to mux movies with italian audio.
In the last two years I released some movies (with Bluray quality): F.I.S.T, Death Wish Collection (Il Giustiziere della Notte) [at the moment I'm working on the 5th title], Waterloo, Julius Caesar, Mr. Klein (Alan Delon) and I'm working on some series like: Two and a Half Men (Due uomini e mezzo), Buffy - The Vampire Slayer and Malcolm in the Middle (1080p Amazon Video - Audio DVD/TV).

I like doing this because all I'm working on is still and unfortunately not edited in Italy.

I hope to share with you my works or just my audio.

Cheers,

ThePlayer

After a small project scare today I noticed that custom artwork from fanres shows up on Google. Is there a way to keep this from happening?

Here's a link to the thread I found this in: http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/THX-113...n/id/49918

Here's the quote: "Poita recently released a file containing the whole scan as-is, and I took this and made an English version."

Is this true? If so, where did Poita release this "whole scan as-is"? I'd be very interested in having that.
