Yeah I just trawled like eighty pages of blogs and there's a fuckload of evidence. They didn't even have a design doc when they started asking for cash, click fraud, etc. RIP, backers.

Every time someone says anonabox I read it as Anachronox and keep hoping that a sequel is being Kickstarted  I wonder how much of a fuckup your project has to be to be suspended/cancelled by Kickstarter, though. It's not like they assume any responsibility, do they?

They can claim they aren't responsible but I don't think they want to end up in a court room to find out if the law agrees with them or not. I think you could prove they have a responsibility just based on the fact they have the ability, as demonstrated here, to suspend and cancel kickstarters.

I'm no lawyer, but if it isn't illegal to let someone scam people out of thousands of dollars when you have the power and knowledge to stop it, it should be.

I guess if you have your own darkroom I can see there being some satisfaction in film photography as a hobby, there's fun to be had doing processes by hand even though machines can do them better and faster, it's why knitting is such a huge thing. I'm sure the majority of people won't be doing that though, if you're sending film away to be developed it's kinda pointless.

Unlike many scammy kickstarters, they do have something to show though, so they aren't selling you only dream this time. You will probably get what you paid for, electro-magnets, a battery and some kind of control chip.

The same reason that people continue to buy vinyl records, typewriters, and arcade boards. Nostalgia, a belief in the talismanic power of older and "truer" tools, and minute unquantifiable benefits like "richness" and "warmth" that conveniently don't stand up to double-blind testing.

DoomLazer posted:How much does it cost to install an all metal state park? Probably less than solar powered roads. To be fair, if you watch the video, read the description, and still believe you will get a working hoverboard, then you are the only one to blame for wasting money on this. I think the idea is still interesting for those who want to build some kind of RC hovering scale model/robot. SpaceGoatFarts has a new favorite as of 12:58 on Oct 22, 2014 |

Because decent quality film is actually considerably better in almost every way except processing compared to digital cameras. If you have a decent scanner and you know a lab that won't bend your negatives, you can get a way better picture compared to basically any digital camera that isn't some Pentax digital MF or whatever.

A medium format film camera has a way higher "resolution" with less noise (grain for film cameras) than all but the most crazy expensive digital cameras.

Film doesn't truly have resolution in the way that digital video does; this is why old films can continue to be remastered into higher definition releases. It's a matter of chemistry, and I don't fully understand the limitations and science of it myself; but as I understand it, standard consumer media releases have not hit the upper limit of fidelity that film is capable of, but if you shoot something digitally, that's it, that's the highest quality it will ever be.

If you have a decent scanner and you know a lab that won't bend your negatives, you can get a way better picture compared to basically any digital camera that isn't some Pentax digital MF or whatever. This is actually completely false. It sounds like you last checked up on capabilities some time around 2001. This goes especially so for this particular kickstarter, their primary proposed products are super 8mm movie film and 16mm movie film and cartridge 35 mm consumer grade still film. All of those have definitely better equivalents available in digital. And their proposed 120 medium format film is basically on par with high end digital now - especially since to properly use good quality 120 film you need some quite high end optics just like large sensor digital.

But old films can also only be remastered so far. And many of them actually can't be remastered much beyond DVD quality, because like all things what you'll pay is what you'll get - your typical movie theater schedule filler from the days when hollywood would release thousands of feature length films a year often just look bad all around. And nearly all shot-on-film movies out there can't be remastered to better quality than current all digital high end equipment can get you - especially since they often have lower quality effects in the final master, where a really high end remaster to meet current standards could involve years of replacing rendering and the like. LeftistMuslimObama posted:A medium format film camera has a way higher "resolution" with less noise (grain for film cameras) than all but the most crazy expensive digital cameras. These days the very expensive digital cameras are well beyond, and the pricepoint where you get the equivalent large sensors is steadily dropping.
