Ben Solo posted:It seems that, in a cost cutting measure, Manos: The Hands of Fate had been shot on 16mm reversal stock and edited using that same stock. From that, a 35mm blow-up internegative had been made and theatrical prints had been produced from that internegative in turn. Audiences at the time would have been watching a copy of a copy, and along the way cheap labwork had cropped the image and compromised the color. Sorry if this has already been covered but - how is this different from the normal edit process? I kinda figure you'd edit on a safety copy and the actual theatrical prints would be a couple of generations out.

Teenage Fansub posted:I'd love for you two to organise a 4k screening down here Would 16mm even benefit much from a 4K transfer? Not that it would hurt but considering that 35mm comes out to about 3.2K I can't imagine 16mm equating to much more than 2K.

OMGVBFLOL posted:I'm surprised how little the mushy audio bothers me; i guess it just feels natural in a B-movie sorta way. That new picture is just so purty. Oh, I totally agree it's appropriate in context. It's just my audio sperg side saying "AAAG NO IT SHOULD BE BETTER MUST MAKE IT BETTER"

Ballz posted:Ben sent out a lengthy update to Kickstarter backers, most of which was stuff we already knew about here, but he ended it with this important nugget of information: Why is 35mm the best method of preservation? Is the media just generally that much better?

Isn't Solovey a Jewish name too? Not that I care, just adds another layer of laughs

I don't know if the difficulties are anything specific to the Manos disc - as I understand it Blu Ray on PC has always been dodgy.

Not to derail too hard but you username is funnier to me now that I've seen The Force Awakens e: I love it when dumb people try to sound Officious and Lawyery and just come off like a Nigerian scammer (especially with the caps abuse). If someone is too dumb and/or cheap to hire a real law office to send legal threats they probably don't have a leg to stand on. Fuckin' patent trolls, man...
