Righty-o. A visit to a Cinerama cinema is now on my bucket list (3-strip presentation preferably). Maybe I'll email the Seattle Cinerama for some possible future showings. You lot are costing me a fortune!
I'm new to the Cinerama process and am in awe of the work done to preserve these treasures. From a technical standpoint, was the projection method more/less troublesome than a 3-D feature? What with the projector syncronisation issues etc for 3-D projection, surely having three projectors to...
Well that's an acknowledgement in my book. I trust they will no longer sell the badly mastered product now a defect has been identified (and won't rectify it by the sounds of it).
Be that as it may, TT have a duty of care to correct this issue whether that be through replacement or refund. I would encourage everyone who is affected by this issue to contact TT and ask for assistance.
Has there been any official response by TT? Have they even acknowledged the issue?
A bit late to the party, but I just watched 'Miss Sadie Thompson' in 3-D. There is some wonderful depth to the image and thought obviously given to staging items within the confines of the screen. Regarding the image itself, it was at times grainy, muted and soft (with some yellow push) but on...
Bob, when you say that you scour the vaults for footage, do you literally mean that you descend into the film storage facilities and dig around? Or is it a more scientific approach? I'd love to hear more of the physical process of locating these 'lost' features.
First time I'd heard of (or seen) Trustin was via his brief appearance on the amazing 3-D RARITIES disc (http://www.3dfilmarchive.com/3-d-rarities), but I'd be more than happy to send him a 'get well soon' card from NZ. I'm sure it'd make his day knowing folk from across the world were cheering...
That looks incredible, thanks to you and your team (and of course Kino) for bringing this one back from the brink. Can I also say how appreciative I am of the amount of background information you put on your web site for each and every title you produce - it's amazing to be able to look through...
Thanks Bob. It must be 'Bwana Devil'. Looks to me like the youngsters are a bit frightened (as are some of the adult patrons!). Maybe a ferocious jumping lion has appeared in their laps!
I love that photo Bob and would love to know what film it was they were watching. Their faces show a mixture of shock, horror and amusement. And that kid nearest the camera...he must have lost his specs!
I'm new to the fantastic world of 3-D films, but now own Gog and several others that were restored by Bob, Greg and the team at the 3-D Film Archive. I would describe their work as miraculous, given the (often) sorry state of the source material they are working with. It is jaw-dropping what...
Day 6 Update news (and it's great news):
"As we mentioned yesterday, we're closing in on the "halfway-funded" milestone, and if we can reach $12,500 in pledges this weekend, we'll have a special announcement about the September Storm Blu-ray!"
Obviously I've no idea what the special...
I can't help but think that there must be someone out there from the film industry who could finance this entire project in a heartbeat. A famous director, actor or anyone really that has a longing, or even just a passing interest, in preserving a part of cinema's history. If only I had Sir...
I thought this Kickstarter might get a mention on the 3-D Film Archive website and/or their Facebook page. Nothing there that I can see - this is a wasted opportunity for more publicity.
I'm going to buy an Oppo BD player (and region unlock) so I can play this film. Plus it'll solve any other region-related issues down the track.
Can I also take this opportunity to thank everyone on this forum for their valued input on this title and on the many other 3D Blu-ray releases. I am...
Your help is needed to SAVE SEPTEMBER STORM!
SEPTEMBER STORM is considered one of the "lost" 3-D features of the golden age of 3-D cinema. Shot in 1959, it was the last of the 3-D movies to be filmed in the 1950s, and is most notable for being filmed in Stereo-Vision (utilizing the Natural...
