Drakkon's 2k HD scanned rushes are back!

I am excited to tell you that the scanned 2k HD rushes of Drakkon arrived back today and I quickly did a test to compare the difference in quality. Hopefully this should give you a pretty good idea below:

Raw 2k HD scan

Graded 2k HD scan

Graded 2k HD scan cropped to 16:9 1080p

Original U-matic video master upscaled to 480p and cropped to hide tracking bleed

Drakkon's Indiegogo Campaign is 182% funded with 13 hours to go!

We have exceeded our minimum target by a whopping 182% - well done everyone who has supported this campaign! 

This is the final call for the`Drakkon Express train to Remasterdome! If you were intending to contribute to this campaign, but kept putting it off, then you now only have 13 hours left. This really is your last chance, so climb on board and join the team! Wooo Woooooo!

What's the difference between the original Drakkon master and the 20th anniversary remaster?

I thought I'd give you a better idea of the sheer difference in quality from the original U-Matic SP master copy of Drakkon to the eventual 2k academy remaster. 

As you can see from this chart below it is going to be a huge leap in terms of definition, and once color graded the picture is going to look amazing on a modern HD TV, computer screen, laptop, i-pad or even an i-pad mini. With a 2k Academy master, I have the choice to either keep the original standard 16mm ratio or crop the frame to fit 16:9. What do you think I should do? 

If you haven't yet supported our Indiegogo campaign to remaster Drakkon, we still need to raise another £150 ($242) to be able to complete the remastering, so don't be shy, check out the campaign here: http://igg.me/at/Drakkon/x/3449576
