We are seriously in need of a Digitally Re-Mastered exploding whale re-release. Just don’t let George Lucas anywhere NEAR it, or next thing you know the whale will shoot first…

I wonder if the quality is worth twixtoring (interpolating frames to create slow-motion or simply smoother footage). I’ve tried twixtoring this other whale explosion video and it didn’t really work out.

Newsfilm in the '70s was 16mm. Not 8mm. I shot with it for years at WNDU in South Bend, IN.

Every time I see that, it’s just… amazing.

Very disappointed that the woman talking in the background’s “ow!” when she gets chunked at the very end wasn’t really enhanced much.
