We have started a Patreon page with the hopes that
some of our followers would be
willing to donate a small amount to keep DVDBeaver
alive. We are a tiny niche, so your
generosity is vital to our
existence.
We are talking about a minimum of
$0.10 - $0.15 a day, perhaps a
quarter (or more) to those who won't
miss it from their budget. It
equates to buying DVDBeaver a coffee
once, twice or a few times a month.
You can then participate in our
monthly
Silent
auctions,
and have exclusive access to many 'bonus' High Resolution screen captures - both
4K UHD
and
Blu-ray

Second Run premiere their new 4K restoration (from
original materials) of Karel Zeman's "Invention for Destruction"
on a dual-layered
Blu-ray with a supportive bitrate. We are
given the choice of viewing the film in either the original Czech, or
the alternate English-dubbed "The Fabulous World of Jules Verne"
version featuring an alternate intro and credits sequence in a separate,
although the same quality, 1080P 24fps rendering. The image here is
impressive, with details clearly visible and contrast well-layered. The
almost 3D abstract composition achieved by Zeman's collage effect is not
at all ruined at all by this enhanced clarity. |
