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

[Artanis]

I saw BWANA DEVIL in 3-D in a cinema where My parents worked,when it was first released. I remember that the 3-D effects were only so-so .It was the same as all the early 3-D films that we screened

With the technology for 3D conversions, since Bwana Devil was already shot in 3D, when Bob gets his hands on it I wonder if he can turn up the 3D heat a bit.

well with the most recent announcement in the Kino thread, maybe Bob and Co. can share a little more info on The Glass Web 3D, don't do the book of faces, but did see there is 9 golden age 3D classics that the are working on, looking at the splash page http://www.3dfilmarchive.com/golden-age-3-d

anyone else want to guess what the remaining 5 film could be?

so by my count and my hopefuls, random guesses unless they plan on doing something with Vinegar Syndrome again, then all bets are off

1. Bwana Devil 3D
2. The Glass Web 3D
3. Robot Monster 3D

4. ? Hannah Lee 3D
5. ? Flight to Tangier 3D
6. ? Southwest Passage 3D
7. ? Cat-Women of the Moon 3D
8. ? Gorilla at Large 3D .... but that has a different issue now that Disney owns the film.
9. ? ...... I am at a loss

Edward G was MADE for 3-D!

I always thought he had a face made for radio.

Yea. But Kathleen had better legs.

Hey, Dana. Not sure from wence you come up with a figure of 9 in-progress that 3D Fim Archive is working on (although they may be, in various stages of procurement or production). AFAIK they have not yet talked Wade W. out of HANNAH LEE or CAT WOMEN, and GORILLA does, indeed have many obstacles attached.

 

[Bob Furmanek]

Dana is correct, we have nine vintage titles in the restoration pipeline!

Great news, and thanks for the clarification. Are they all 3D? Do have a great year ahead!

Now I feel like a dummy,

I completely forgot

Abbott and Costello Show: Season Two

 

[Bob Furmanek]

Actually, I was wrong in my earlier post. We have twelve vintage 3-D restorations in the pipeline and one extensive flat project.

The five 3-D titles that have been publicly announced are:

1. Bwana Devil
2. Prison Girls
3. The Glass Web
4. Robot Monster
5. The Bubble Roadshow

Plus:

The Abbott and Costello Show - Season Two (26 episodes)

In short, we are VERY busy.

Happy 2023, everyone!

Happy New Year, Bob and Jack! Maybe Mostly Lost this year?

 

[Bob Furmanek]

I believe that event has been retired.

However, we will very likely be presenting our restoration of JACK AND THE BEANSTALK in Culpeper sometime in the next few months. Cinecolor expert Jack Theakston plans to be on hand to discuss the extensive restoration and enormous technical challenges in working from the only surviving 35mm color materials: worn SuperCinecolor release prints!

Actually, more for a frog pond. But what a wonderful actor!

[Bryan^H]

Where is the master list for 3DFA. I want to fill in my gaps from Amazon today!!

Thanks

 

[Bob Furmanek]

Wonderful, thank you Bryan!

You're just trying to make ape out of him

From that collage, PRISON GIRLS and ROBOT MONSTER are coming soon.

Always remember that if it’s a 3DFA restoration, you don’t have to worry about a missing intermission point (as planned for by the original producers) or eye-straining AND headache inducing vertical misalignment!

We get many questions as to why relatively short movies have an intermission point? There is a perfectly valid technical reason and please see the bottom of this page on our website for the details.

Tl;dr version is: Reels can only hold so much, and platters, had they existed, would have been an unworkable solution.

Greg Kintz and I did an interview with Heath Holland for Cereal at Midnight a few days ago and it should go live later this week. We’ve waited nearly 5 years to share this great news. Standby for a VERY exciting Golden Age 3-D restoration announcement!
