Any update on the shipments of A DROP OF WATER? Has Alberto finished cleaning his equipment in Italy and striping and recording moving forward with backlogged prints?

[Ruben Torrejon]

We are providing Andec spotless master sources and they do their best with them. 😉

Actually The Drop of Water looks even better than The Little Whirlwind….

Not possible! What sort of witchcraft is going on in the lab? 😂
All kidding aside, keep up the good work! Super 8mm has never looked so good!

I have quite a few prints from Blackhawk and Castle Films that I collected as a kid in the 1970’s that are absolutely crap, and recently some prints from Niles that are even worse and should be in the trash now. Anything from Ultra8 will be FAR superior!

I am curious regarding anyone who has received. A DROP OF WATER form Ultra 8. How is it? Did it meet/surpass expectations? Very interested in this title.

I haven’t ordered this print, but I did buy a copy of “The Little Whirlwind”. The quality was excellent and surpassed all my expectations. I would expect other prints from Ultra8 to be of similar superior quality. They will not disappoint!

Side note: Anxiously awaiting the printing of those 1980’s music videos. My finger has been hovering over the “buy now” button for months now. It will be worth the wait.❤️

Hello Philip,

I don’t know what the mention to machines been cleaned mean. Prints are ready and checked (pending sound recording and packaging) and the Cineavision shorts’ negative is being worked right now so no problems here 😉

I am confused does this mean it will be a delay of 2 to 3 months while machinery is cleaned before the prints will be ready to ship?

[Ruben Torrejon]

All Super 8 prints are ready. Once they’re recorded and packaged they will be shipped to collectors. Image quality is a sight to behold, really.

Best!

Probably 2-3 months as machinery is receiving its annual service. Standard procedure.

That's great news!

Hello Philip,

The drop of water has not been shipped yet to customers, although prints have been checked and look truly gorgeous.

Hello Philip,

Thank you for your interest. We have just shipped “The Little Whirlwind” and customers will be getting their prints in the next few days. As much as we want to have all our first titles ready we do care about quality the most (we’re using the one and only pro lab that still does Super 8 in the world and the best stereo magnetic stripping and recording service available). We’re doing things in an orderly manner and next title will be “The Drop of Water”. When prints are ready we’ll let you all forum members know. Things are going now at a good rhythm (considering that we also provide five or even six different language versions for each title). After “The Drop of Water” (which look and sound gorgeous BTW), the Cineavision Scope Cartoons will be next and on June 17 th we’ll announce price and open pre orders for our first feature… I think you all know which one it is, a highly desirable title never before released on Super 8!
