3D Meet Bob Furmanek: HTF Golden Age 3-D Consultant (2 Viewers)

[MarkA]

It’s ironic that as the films got more technically advanced in 1953/54, the less people saw them.

Jivaro made its official 3-D debut on our release!

My best friend and I loved it. Thanks for the great job!

 

[Bob Furmanek]

Bob, is 3D Rarities II still on target for March? When are we going to find out what is on it?

Yes, the announcement is due this week!

 

[Bob Furmanek]

Big announcement at 2:00 PST today...

 

[John Sparks]

I've bought everything you have released in 3D, including AFRICA SCREAMS (2D), so right now all I have to do is wait less than one hour for your BIG announcement!

Here's the trailer:

 

[Todd J Moore]

Fantastic! I guess the Kickstarter copies will come out right around then?

 

[Bob Furmanek]

Check with Eric Kurland at 3-D SPACE but I believe they will go out a bit earlier.

 

[SAM33]

Ordered!

[StephenDH]

Is Rarities 2 region free? Sorry, just checked and it is. Forget I asked.

 

[ilovenola2]

Ordered!

S A M 33

Me, too!!

 

[Bob Furmanek]

When it’s our own production, a film that we own or a title that we specifically have secured via license from a copyright holder, we will strive every time to release it region free unless there are restrictions from the owner.

When we are a work for hire for another company’s licensed title, all bets are off.

 

[Quatermass II]

Will have mine ordered by the end of the day!

 

[Jobla]

Ordered, although I don't have 3-D playback equipment.

 

[Josh Steinberg]

I’ve had to temporarily put aside my projection gear for the past few months as life getting in the way has, well, gotten in the way. I’ve dragged everything out for very special occasions even when everyday viewing became impossible and will continue to do so. And trust me when I say, this disc will be cause to pull everything out.

I’ve seen some of Harold Lloyd’s 3D photography projected before and I think you guys will be impressed with the quality and dimensionality of those images.

 

[Bob Furmanek]

And wait'll you see the fantastic stereo slide segment from Hillary Hess. It is outstanding!

 

[pinknik]

@Bob Furmanek Did anything ever become of the Archive getting to do Murray Lerner’s SEA DREAM? Thanks!

 

[Bob Furmanek]

No, to be honest, we haven’t pursued it.

 

[pinknik]

Understood.
