Hi everybody I am Frank Hennenlotter - writer and director of "Basket Case" and
here to welcome you to the HD-version of "Basket Case" - Now
I know what you're thinking - "Basket Case" in HD?
and you have a point - mean
as i quickly learned no amount of money
digital magic is going to make this the case look brand-new support
were beautiful or any images yet so
that is what i did basket case was you know shot sixteen millimeter fino for no
money but and that's kind of be where i went wanted to make this looks like the
very first
really sprint we ever did in sixteen million which we we made to they'll get
the distributors before we sold it thirty five-millimeter before you blew
it up
and indifferent and in doing this i've found most of the sixteen million
negative and also most of that original sixteen millimeter really spring
a lot of things i noticed is in original prints nineteen c
we had apa little bluish gray came to the to the colorado scenes
and uh... that got lost it all the subsequent blocks so uh...
i went back to that
i left the grain weight should be for sixteen millimeter
i'd also left guest secretary of health
uh... when i shot this thing you know what at hotmail i mean i hold of the
sixteen millimeter camera it square and shoot the square you know it never
occurred to me that when this is going to play movie theaters that fear is that
a short one eight five and make it look awful
so what we're doing this we also footnote let's see if we how it looks in
anamorphic sixteen by nine
you know one eight five and look terrible i mean if you don't believe me
just take your this woman zoom in on the picture it's just
you just lose too much information everything that's way too close to forty
type his destiny
so that was the goal of this i think i'd chief that i mean it looks now not like
you know
like new james bond film or something beautiful like that looks like uh...
what really was way back when twenty-five thirty years ago when it was
brand new and that was you know what i wanted so but that in mind i hope you
enjoy it
and uh... i hope
he enjoys
