Update re: Burial Ground:
Quote:
We're in a bit of a quandry at the moment. When we announced we had the rights to Burial Ground we had lots of comments on social media asking us not to use the existing master. When the Zombie Holocaust crowd funding started to really take off we added Burial Ground to the scheme with the intention of creating a new master. At the time we didn't know where the negative ofrhigh quality positives resided but we had a lead on a projection print that might be usable. We received another 70 £20 pledges after announcing Burial Ground on our crowd funder so this extra money to play with was very tight.
Nonetheless we ploughed on and had the print transferred in 2K in the states which cost $2500 and to be honest it was disappointing. It was a high contrast element which we knew but there was very little detail and it was very damaged. Disappointed we moved our attention back to getting Zombie Holocaust remastered (which has now been completed) and only recently did we manage to ascertain the whereabouts of the original 16mm elements. We recently had some tests made up and below are the results which are so similar to the existing master it's difficult to know what to do as a new transfer will be very expensive and we're unsure as to whether to proceed. Thoughts?
