Back from the lab - they put up reel one and, according to them (I know nothing about this stuff), the news is heartening and it looks like the CRI has at least a goodly amount of its color left (how they tell this I have no idea) - CRIs are notorious for fading, but they seemed to think we would be in good shape, and the CRI itself seemed to be in good shape - there are a few scratches here and there that we'll be able to deal with during the transfer - but overall it's 1000% better than the prints we used for the DVD. So, I will deliver the elements to the lab that's actually going to do the transfer on Monday.
