Very nice Clark. That's one of 3 known surviving prints in the world (and one of those prints is considered "unplayable"). Other than the color fading which can't be helped, it looks to be in very nice condition!
Hi FT, Thanks for giving the video a watch! Yes, the print is in rather great condition. It also sounded brilliant. Hopefully someone does a 4K restoration soon.
The image in 4K Bluray would certainly look better as it would not be faded pink, but I guarantee the sound will not be the same as in a movie theatre showing 70mm 6 track mag (with good sound system and acoustics)
@@rainscratchsome 4K Bluray have the original magnetic sound releases with also some remastered DTS HD or Dolby Atmos usualy DTS and New dolby are 24 bit and it Can handle more than 144 dB a 2 inch magnetic master can't reach that level and high frequencies are usualy mute, as a sound mixer im tired of listening the same audiophile bullshit even PCM or DSD Can outperformed any magnetic tape recording.
Nothing beats watching a movie on the big screen! When The Wall finally came to town, it was shown in our art house film theater, and it was an old style theater built in the 30's, so it had that classic art deco look to it and the owner's had up graded to the sound system,so not only did it look good, but sounded great as well! Sadly it didn't didn't last long as it didn't find it's audience? So after it ran for a couple weeks it was done. So I had to wait for the VHS to come out, before I could watch it again,speaking of which,why no blu ray or even a 4 K??? Come on Roger lets go already!!
It seems this movie didnt find its audience until it was taken out of cinemas. A new 4K restoration would be amazing. But I feel like that wont be happening for a long time. So for now, the best version is the one of two( there's another copy somewhere in the world) 70mm prints. Cheers
@@ClarkTeddles AGREED! The Wall movie is a lot more popular than when it came out! And your right about a Blu ray, or even a 4K release thanks to many things but mostly because of the long standing feud between Roger and David,that’s only gotten worse with time! So unless Criterion does something I don’t ever see it being released!
@@MrRugbyloosehead I think the only option is to scan a 35mm print (all fo which have faded) and color-correct it and restore it. It's probably the most in-need of blu ray ever.
@@ClarkTeddles I was thinking about getting a blu ray burner for my PC and transferring my DVD copy and remastering it myself,even though it will take plenty of time? But the result will be worth it!
Screened this print in Melbourne many, many times on the same Cinemeccanica 35/70 projectors - two - we did change overs. Sensational 6 track magnetic sound. It is an image blow up from 35mm so it is not as good as those films shot on 65mm. But the sound is unforgettable. We did a test and the staff blind folded me and I threaded a 70 mag in 24 seconds. It was a one in five chance of being in frame and I missed out, with not being able to sight the frame line. This print has faded quite a bit since I last screened it going by the port view. There's a 35mm scanned trailer that we used to screen, at my movie trailer channel. (link via main channel)
amazing story about you projecting Pink Floyd on 70! I own an original Australian vinyl pressing of the wall yet this 6 track magnetic soundtrack sounded better. Which I was very glad about because this makes the experience of seeing this movie on 70mm more special. I've taken a look at that 35mm scan on your channel a few months back, great-looking print! I'm sure it looks even better when actually projected, but judging from the scan, it looks incredible.
@@ClarkTeddles Thank you. Many reasons why 70 magnetic sounds so good. It is six discreet tracks (each theatre speaker source has its own track), the film is traveling very fast through the reader, The main tracks are very wide, so there's lots of information on those tracks. The recording is uncompressed, basically a direct copy from the mixed down six channel masters. Any serious cinephile needs to experience as much 70mm magnetic sound film as possible while the prints still exist. It is not possible any longer to recreate a 70mm six track magnetic sound print - the equipment was done away with - just like it is not possible to create a real IB Technicolor print. And if it was possible to cost would be very high. An average 70/mag print used to cost over $US20k back in the 2000s.
@@rainscratch I certainly agree with your point about how cinephiles should experience as much 6 track mag as they can, that’s why I go to every 6 track mag 70mm screening that happens here in Sydney, because eventually, those prints may never be projected ever again, and I certainly don’t want to miss out on them.
This was the film of a post punk era, this jewel realy need to be rescan from the original 35 mm negative in 5 or 4 K there is a lot of digital process we can use on davinci resolve to restore the original color even on print that look magenta.
@@ClarkTeddles cheers i always wondered stereo mix sounded like with the movies of jesus christ superstar and tommy i have seen jesus christ superstar in 1977 it would have been in mono
Good video Clark. Is it just an old movie or is it a recent recital? If that was the case, how did they get the celluloid if today they say it no longer exists?
Thanks John! Greatly appreciated! There was only one screening for this movie so the projectionist probably took it off for the next film they show. If the print they are showing has some fade to it (like the one shown in this video) they will typically put on the blue filter.
@@ClarkTeddles I'd have liked to have seen that print Clark. I've been thinking about all this 70mm you've been seeing lately and you've probably seen more 70mm than most people alive today. Not bad for someone still so young. John.
@@moviecollector5920 if you ever come to Sydney John be sure to check out the ritz cinema (the cinema featured in this video). They show film almost every 2 weeks. At the moment they are screening an Australian film every week on 35mm. I’ll be going to one of them in the future for a film called “Malcolm” (1986). Cheers
@@ClarkTeddles I'd like to get down sometime Clark. What I need is a wealthy benefactor though. I do have quite a few friends living in the Sydney area... and they weren't all shipped down as convicts either! John.
@@ClarkTeddlesThat’s amazing! I have a friend who has a ton of vintage 35mm kung fu films but most have sadly faded to the usual pink/magenta look. He does screen them for private showings at a local theater but I’m not sure if they use a filter. Little did I know you could put a blue filter in front of the projection to help balance the color. I guess not perfect but certainly better than seeing pink/magenta for an entire movie.
One of the best sound tracks I've heard. Hard to beat 6 track Magnetic sound on 70mm film. When DTS tracks have been added to recent 70mm re-prints or new shows the sound is nothing like the depth, warmth and spatial quality of the Magnetic sound equivalent. As examples, I've screened Lawrence of Arabia in 70mm Magnetic and also the 4K DCP cinema release, 4 Track Magnetic Blues Brothers and 4K DCP digital, and the sound was no comparison. The digital does not match the Magnetic at all. Same goes for films re-released in 70mm utilizing DTS tracks - cannot compare to the original 6 track Magnetic. Often the sound mix is different too between formats.
How come the film is so incredibly pink? Is that just what happens to 70mm prints overtime? Well, you might as well walk up to Roger Waters with this in hand and demand a 4k blu ray release.
this print had been projected so many times that slowly, over time the print faded more and more. apparently, the 35mm negative was sent out for a 4K restoration but was then lost. Thanks for watching and commenting
@@ClarkTeddles it’s not from over-projection, but from fade. 35mm and 70mm prints had the misfortune of being part of the last films printed on unstable Eastman stock (LP if I’m not mistaken) I have a 35mm anamorphic trailer that succumbed to the same fate, but do have a 16mm rental copy that was printed on their later low-fade LPP stock, which has held up far better and looks very good, some 40 years later.
Pure & Rare...👌
