Yes, for example, when they did The Lord of the Rings extract, The Mines of Moria, Ged told me that he was a big LOTR fan and he would have liked to do a compilation of more action. He was prepared to make an edited version up from the 35mm print that was available to them, but the owner who had loaned them the 35mm print didn't want it physically cut.
Although it would then have been reassembled after the 16mm neg was made for the super 8 release, you can understand it.
But it was a shame as the resulting release, although enjoyable, wasn't the best.

It was Osi, maybe printing from a 16mm internegative or similar would have been better, but those days as you know were long gone by, was it 2003-2004 when LOTR was printed.
It was by then taken from a 35mm print and reduced to a 16mm neg and then down to best the labs could do (OR CARED).
However, when comparing, say the 2 x 600ft super 8 version of Gremlins, also taken from a 35mm master in the mid 1980s, it is amazing what could be done. [ December 02, 2016, 02:27 AM: Message edited by: Rob Young. ]
