3D Help restore the Golden Age 3D movie 'September Storm' (1 Viewer)

[Interdimensional]

I increased my initial contribution by an additional $100 last night.

Glad to see people are reaching out to their friends and wider network of acquaintances. If we could get a lot of smaller donations from the casually interested, it'd really start to add up. As of now 2 days in, it's listed as 14% funded at $3515. Someone just pledged another $10 while I was watching.

Noble on all counts, but not a 25k project.

Do you question the seriousness of this effort? My thought was maybe they had some other funding.

 

[Kiwitutor]

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.

 

[Peter Apruzzese]

I'm sure Bob will get it on there - I believe he's traveling at the moment.

 

[GregK]

You nailed it, Pete. Bob's been busy promoting 3-D preservation in Tulsa

Expect a number of updates as this effort continues!

Not at all. Nor the passion.

I question the budget and potential problems.

I'd love to see it succeed.

RAH, for a project with vinegar syndrome, what would a reasonable budget be? Could you give us some idea in terms of:
A) 1080p master for Blu-ray;
B) 2K DCP and Blu-Ray master;
C) Full blown 4K restoration, including preservation elements output to film and all of the above?
I don't know if you've been following Dave Strohmaier's most recent work on the Cinerama travelogues, but he's obtained some impressive looking results with off the shelf software. I don't know what Bob and Greg have in mind for this project.

 

[Bob Furmanek]

Our track record is proven and this financial goal was not randomly selected.

If the Kickstarter goal is met, this project WILL succeed.

$6069 and 62 backers.

I kicked in a $100 donation. Hope to see this released.

 

[Stephen_J_H]

Waiting for payday, but I will likely make a contribution.

Hey Mods, thanks for making this thread Sticky!

 

[Bob Furmanek]

Thank you SO much to everyone for your interest, support and confidence in our ability to restore this lost 3-D film.

I remember when we were told that GOG could not be restored for less than $50K. Then a top post-production facility in LA did tests and determined there was no possible way to restore color to the left side. They walked away from it and gave up.

The 3-D Blu-ray of GOG is proof of what we can achieve with a very limited budget.

Also, be sure to check the daily updates. We've just posted an extremely rare TV spot for the original 3-D release!

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 Peter Jackson's phone number...

I'm in for $150

Sorry, but I'm unaware VS has anything to do with this project. Did I miss something?

If the object desired can be created on the budget, it would be wonderful.

Most of the Cinerama work has been finalized in HD, for budgetary reasons.

RAH, if you go to the Kickstarter link and watch the video, you'll get the whole picture.

Missed that. Bottom line, to save the film, at the very least, it must be scanned. That's a good beginning.

From Kickstarter:

Of the projects that have reached 20% of their funding goal, 81% were successfully funded. Of the projects that have reached 60% of their funding goal, 98% were successfully funded. Projects either make their goal or find little support. There's little in-between.

Right now $8542 or 34%

Here's to another success, Bob and Greg & Co.!
