[Help] Hellraiser (Clive Barker, 1987) – 35mm Scan

[LucasGodzilla]

Probably going to be dropping cash on the NEAR DARK thing but until I see how much that ends up having to be, you can pencil me in for $20.

Thanks, I'll send you a PM!

Just an FYI to everyone, I believe I should be able to get the first reel released sometime soonish (and maybe the second even given we're not far off from that milestone either).

Unfortunately, I've been told that the scanner was preoccupied with other IRL matters lately which was why I wasn't able to provide an update sooner. Keeping my fingers crossed though.

I can chip in $20 towards this.

Happy Halloween Everyone!

Would like to inform donors that a Reel 1 preview is available to see now!

Send me a PM if you're interested.

Even though the color grading is not finalized (won't be until I get my hands on the RAW files at the end of it all), it's clear right off the bat that there are far more photochemical blues overall than the Arrow BD and looks very stylish in many shots.

Here's a little test to show what it looks like with a bit more adjustment (though again, not at all final)

It's definitely been reminding me as to why I've been wanting to pursue this movie for a while now.

Anyways, with all that said, this project is still only half-way to getting the funding needed to get the whole print scanned, so please donate if you're interested and want to check out the first reel!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Previews for Reels 2 & 3 are now available for donors (check the link from last time)!

Once again, preview colors are not fully representative of how it'll look in the end, so bear with the funky desaturated look for the time being, please.

I'd also like to inform everyone that there are some hopes to get this print re-scanned sometime in the future on a higher quality setup sometime in the future, so we can all look forward to that what improved results that may bring.

Keep in mind though, donations are still needed to fully fund the scan, so please do if you haven't already!

Thanks. How much more is needed?

Thanks. How much more is needed?

Well, right now the pool is at $630 / $1000. However, this is a bit up in the air for a number of behind-the-scenes reasons so the exact end goal might end up being smaller?

I wouldn't worry about the exact logistics other than the fact that funding is still needed to finish.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Previews of the remaining two reels are available for donors now!

As you can see, even through the uncalibrated preview colors, practically the entirety of the climax showcases photochemical blues that are missing on most home releases.

Anyways, the good news is I was told that $70 should cover the remainder of the scanning fee, which is a fair bit lower than my initial goal estimation (though further funds might be necessary to cover shipping or some other unexpected fee so I'm keeping the estimate the goal the same for now).
