I already own a scope print of this feature, but this is a feature film print of this film, super 8, and it's distributed by RED FOX FILMS?!!! Didn't know they did a print of this. It doesn't say in the description as to whether it's scope or not. Sorry, but I don't know yet how to make a link to it, but it's on the american ebay, (super 8 films) and it ends today, within 24 hours, (please note, it is 11:00 a.m. in the morning, Tuesday, Mountian time, in Idaho, if that helps you.

Good luck to anyone who may end up bidding on it! If someone wins it on the forum, let me know if you did!

Thanks Jan, I must learn how to do that, I hope somebody on the forum wins it, so I can hear as to whether it's scope, stereo, or flat, or flat letterbox.

(Still won't beat my SCOPE/STEREO version HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

(EHEM)

No problem. [Smile] It's very easy, actually - anytime you want to post a link to a page you're currently viewing, you can go to the Address Bar and select the link shown by pressing CTRL-A, then copy it by pressing CTRL-C ... then, just paste it with CTRL-V into a forum post (or email, or what-have-you). Easy as pie. [Smile]

That item has ended, I wonder if the person is a forum member, and it looks like they got a great deal, I'll check on the price, but it was going for 119.00 with, I think, seven minutes left. If it wasn't a Red Fox release, (just in Red Fox boxes?)
and it was the Derrann release, then whoever bought it got a major deal!

It ended at about $152, which I think is a great deal regardless of whether the print is from Red Fox or Derann. [Smile]

I got a post from the collector and he said it was a flat format print. (nyeah nyeah!). Though it no doubt is far more rare than my Derrann print and in the right circles, probably quite valuable!

I have this Red Fox flat print. Quality is OK and colours are holding fine. I doubt it's *that* rare. (And I paid 20 euros for it).

"Poltergeist" was first released around 1983 in this flat version by RED FOX. When Red Fox closed down, Derann took over distribution of the flat version.
The scope version, originally released by Kempski in Germany in 1984, was extremely expensive then (as were all Kempski releases), but was more reasonably priced when re-released around 1992 by Derann.
I remember that over a period of time, the Derann newsletters listed both - the flat and the scope "Poltergeist". And I wondered whoever would think of buying a flat print if he could have the scope version?? [Confused]

I agree. Of course, not every collector has a good scope lenses lying around. By the way, I have found that those scope lenses are great for shooting scope films with. I have been experimenting with my lense on my digital video hi-definition camera, as were finally going to start shooting my second feature film on digital video, and, when squeezed down, the difital video, in scope, looks absolutely magnificent!!! Which means, if we can get a disributor to look at it, it could even be transferred to film and look pretty darn good!!

Osi..

You mean to tell me, since the "playing field" has be leveled for independents to make features via HiDef Video it's possible to shot a feature or short in Hi Def tape in Scope with a good lens and have this Blown Up to film for theater presentation or TV? DO YOU SHOOT SQUEEZED AND THEN HAVE A LAB TRANSFER TO FILM "UN-SQUEEZED: SCOPE FOR PRESENTATION ? HOW WOULD IT GO..???

What I do, (as I'm doing tests for a second feature I'm going to shoot and star in, on hi-def 8MM, which looks great, probably in sepia tone), is of course, shoot the video in scope, then, with my nice little projection TV, put that same lense reversed in from of same projection TV, it really looks great. I'm amazed at how sharp it is. I have noted that shooting with video, you have more problems with "video grain" in the image, hence the desire to shoot in B/W or sepia. besides, i love the play of shadows, smoke effects and such in B/W which you all but lose with color. It's very hard to get nice smoke effects with color. It always seems to get lost in the image.
