@freedomland as the owner of the print and controller of the project has elected to try to get his fade correction in a very worked, meticulous place before release. That way, there’ll be one good release instead of a few prior grindhouse releases. It would be great if a better Amadeus could be scanned in the future; once a print is pretty far gone, it is a sad thing.
Flip side is that @freedomland is a busy guy personally so work progresses at the pace it progresses.
I’m not affiliated with this project in any capacity nor am I responsible for any of the decision making but @freedomland has generously helped me on other projects throughout the time that this project has been in the works. So just wanted to chime in since I know I’m probably online more than he is.
Thank you for that update! While I don't enjoy being that guy, I do find it quite annoying when a project gets off to an incredible start with lots of communication and requests for donations but then ends up fizzling out or a situation like this where there are almost NO updates. I completely understand people being busy and having lives. However, even if someone is going thru stuff, I hate when people try to avoid accountability with that excuse. When you take donations and money for a project, there's at least an expectation of communication. Even a bare minimum update every 3-6 months would be more favorable than this. Especially when they put SO much effort into trying to get awareness for the project and get donations. Comes off as a little scammy to me, personally. Just annoying is all.
