Hey- I'm one of the 'Tape Watchers' from the PMC search! I'm in possession of roughly 300 tapes, I believe. There's definitely WAY more than 800 total. Unfortunately I haven't gotten to go through the tapes in several months (my parents moved, then I moved out, then I moved back in, it's a mess). So far, though, the guy who recorded the tapes doesn't seem like the type to record that show- Everything is all old westerns and black and white Mickey Mouse Club. There are some gems of old commercials, though! I've been meaning to getting around to watching the tapes on a live-stream. Not worried about Content ID because we'd be fast-forwarding 99% of it

[@lightyagami3492]

Have you thought about uploading the content of the tapes to the internet archive? There could very well be lost commercials or bumpers on the tapes

[@rosera99]

@@lightyagami3492 I'd love to, but I don't really have the equipment to record any of it digitally. For my idea to stream it, I'd be pointing the camera at my old CRT ;_; I also don't think it'd be practical to rip hundreds and hundreds of tapes. What I've done so far is just record whatever I found interesting on my phone. I'm,, pretty knowledgeable about Lost Media so I have a general idea what to look for. I know that Mickey Mouse Club has lost episodes, so I even go out of my way to scrub the tapes with that written on the label. But largely what this collection is, is... Quantum Leap sometimes. Gunsmoke, Bonanza, The Rifleman- Really what you'd expect an old man to be into. There's not a ton of Lost Media that people are looking for in those genres, so I don't have my hopes up for anything groundbreaking.

It's possible Batman Fights Dracula is lost forever. Archiving here in the Philippines is not really focused, both for films and TV alike. Only few of the 1950s-1980s films are archived and restored, primarily by ABS-CBN and Viva themselves.

[@sophiagonzales8974]

Its not like anyone could just get the film studio and then get a copy not to mention archiving films isn’t a priority highly doubt a copy will ever resurface even if one were to go to the Philippines

[@jaddancel]

It is also worth noting that most of the archived films that still around today only survived for the fact that the publishers released Home Movie copies. With the masters being long gone.

[@renzorg]

Film student from the Philippines here. Sadly, a lot of old films (even those from just a couple of decades ago) have been lost due to the lack of resources to digitize and archive, and because of the war and militant government. Director Jing Abalos has also been pretty dormant, but I might be able to ask around here! Hoping to help out with this search.

[@KasumiKenshirou]

Wow, it looks like there's some cool stuff on your channel that I will be watching later. I hope we're able to see that movie someday. Those APPP OVAs were my introduction to the JoJo franchise, which I saw in 1995 as an exchange student in Japan. I really enjoyed watching those OVAs despite not knowing exactly what was going on in them*. I remember being surprised to learn that Skywalker Sound and a western composer were used. I remember the interviews at the end of the tape with the Skywalker Sound people. They all loved Iggy and were disappointed when they learned what happened to him in the series. * Mainly because I'm not fluent in Japanese, but also I now know that what I was watching was the second half of the third part of a story. Despite all this I was still entertained by it.

What always annoys me about certain lost media is…for the prices of media that are 100% still in existence but are being held by the companies who made them or own the rights to them…they have this peice of media that everyone wants to see but just refuse to release it for xyz reason. I know sometimes it’s a bit complicated because it may have its rights in many places but for others it bothers me, they have the power to make it no longer be considered lost and they just don’t like the Sesame Street missing episodes

[@grimpaper]

True, it's even worse when they show snippets only to yank it back, Blue Prints is a good example of this nonsense.

[@Kkmzji]

Aside from copyrights, I don’t see a real legitimate reason to not release lost media. Companies could make a lot of money off of lost media, so it’s not like they’d be losing money. On top of that, it would bring a lot of exposure to their company, which surely would be beneficial in the long run. I think it’s just companies either wanting to forget it exists, or just don’t care enough to preserve their past works.

[@mightyfilm]

That's something I like to call horded media, as opposed to lost media. It's annoying how many shows are "lost" simply because the studio doesn't want to due to the lack of consumer interest or just can't due to idiotic copyright tangles. I've been looking for the 90's Casper cartoon for some time now. Only most of the first season was released on 2 DVD volumes, and anything else is a couple taped off of TV episodes here and there. Worse yet, Toonsylvania, which only had ONE compilation movie made out of 4 episodes released to home video. I don't see why Universal doesn't just dump them on peacock. Only thing I can see holding Casper up would be Amblin's partial ownership, as Universal owns the character after the Dreamworks buyout.

Another longstanding search surrounding Sonic is for the full version of Tokyo international forum version of sonic adventure's main theme, Open Your Heart. This version has been searched for by fans for decades now, to the point where there are even a couple of fan made recreations. Thankfully there is a low quality video of the performance from the games launch event, but the only thing that remains of the full quality song is a 2 minute rip from Sega's old website. Hopefully, the full song is found someday. EDIT: Damn I didn't think so many people would care about this. I actually do know one way this could get found, but it's a bit of a stretch. In an interview, Johnny Gioeli claimed that Sega would send him copies of the songs he had worked on. With this in mind, maybe Jun Senoue or Eizo Sakamoto still have a copy. It would just take someone asking them. The other idea is just ask the sonic social media team, as they have had a history with showing unused content. EDIT 2: I doubt most will care, but for what it's worth I tried restoring the demo myself. This includes all versions of the chorus along with some other restored bits. watch that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opvNe2tvnJKjh5o

[@sonicmaiden2871]

I didn't even know that this version of the song was a thing! It sounds great! Thanks for recreating it! Also I hope that more Sonic lost media will be found one day!

Sonic the hedgehog awakening intrigues me the most since it has the least information available.

@@sonicmaiden2871 Trust me sonic has no shortage of lost media. Personally, the thing I would most like to see aside from the full version of this, are the original demo tracks for sonic 3.

@@PixelTunes1010 Actually, we already know Sega lost it all the way back in 2000 due to taping over the SA1 masters for SA2. What I'm suggesting is Jun Senoue or Eizo Sakamoto may have copies given to them personally, similar to Johnny Gioeli. There's also one guy on KZbin who says they found a direct capture, but didn't give the link, so there literally may be a video tape just floating about somewhere on the internet. I've gone searching but so far have been fruitless in contacting this guy or just finding the video myself.

The most frustrating part of Slamfest is that nintendo is fantastic at archiving their stuff, and very likely have a master of the recording, and potentially even the character costumes themselves. But they won't release them. Japanese companies are so ridiculously tight-lipped, it's infuriating.

[@SlapstickGenius23]

Is it for budget reasons?

[@Eddies_Bra-att-ha-grejer]

None of that is relevant, the Slamfest was made by Nintendo of America and not Nintendo of Japan. They're a subsidiary that only deals with distribution pretty much.

[@LSuperSonicQ]

Believe it or not, a video game historian that used to work with Nintendo in the 80s told me they're actually very bad at archiving their work. He ended up with a box of commercials that Nintendo asked to borrow from him!

[@aortaplatinum]

@@LSuperSonicQ oh god damn really? Huh.

[@grimpaper]

@@aortaplatinum Yep, back during the 80's and 90's most companies Japanese or not, were abysmal at keeping old documents. This was mainly because most things was often considered useless after it's initial use, leading to the assets being thrown out. often times, music and commercial masters were taped over, which is a big part of why things like this end up lost. If the compony doesn't have it, and if no one else has it, there's not much you can do.

Speaking of popular media, there is a piece of lost media for the movie Coraline that I vividly remember which takes place in a basement (where she confronts a monstrous version of the Other Father). This is going to be long but someone please tell me I’m not crazy. 1) The scene takes place after the garden scene, but before the final confrontation, where upon entering the Other World’s Pink Palace Coraline is swallowed up by the floor of the house, and in the darkness meets the Other Father even more deformed. He chases her around the basement, telling Coraline to “run” in a warped voice, he corners her (snapping at her with bug-like jaws). Coraline avoids his attack, and runs up the stairs with the Other Father crawling up after her, she turns around to face him and he disintegrates in front of her. Coraline then goes on to confront the Other Mother for the final time. 2) I saw this scene in theaters (3D) when the movie was first released, within the first week of its release. Other people I’ve talked to who saw the movie in theaters within the first 3 weeks (especially the 3D version), vividly remember this scene, while those who saw the movie after the 4-5 week don’t, and those who have only seen the home/ Netflix releases don’t recall it either (and the scene isn’t on either of those releases). 3) I have never read the book, or any adaptations other than the movie, but I have been informed the Other Father basement scene /is/ a part of the book. But I myself am very sure that this scene was also in the movie, and only recently discovered it was a part of the book when talking to a friend. This scene is also not in any of the deleted scenes from the movie. 4) Myself and several others who all went to the 3D experience during the opening couple weeks each remember this scene (so it isn’t just me). Does anybody else who saw Coraline in theaters remember this?

Here's a lost media long search you might be interested in. There is a television logo for a company called T.A.T Communications Company that has been lost for decades. The company in question was a distributor for classic sitcoms such as One Day at a Time and The Jefferson's. The logo has been lost for decades (mainly due to the logo being replaced when it was bought out by Embassy and then Sony), until late 2017 or early 2018 when half of the logo was found (and then being cut off by a CBS ID). To this day, the search for recordings of the full logo is still going on The logo is the most sought after search in the logo community, even becoming a meme in the logo community. Lost media regarding to TV or movie logos is a very interesting topic that not too many "lost media" KZbinrs talk about.

It’s not too late to start a kickstarter to recreate slamfest 99

#Slamfest2023

[@ArthurTRead]

I'd love to see that lol

[@cabbusses]

Man, that Slamfest stuff is sure getting hyped. I hope it amounts to something.

[@Modding_Jackster]

I would honestly hope to contact Sega to see if they have a HD copy of the Sonic 06 trailer, but it’s possible they may not have it, but someone could try?

[@Kittenfox_55]

I'm begging for someone in the lost media community on KZbin to talk about PXG from JETIX. It was a video game review show that aired only in the UK.

[@ExtremeWreck]

Akazukin ChaCha's English dub is most certainly one of those cases, so are C.I.T.Y. 2000 Paris, the Sonic 1 Tokyo Toy Show prototype & of course, the Sega Genesis games that took use of the HeartBeat Catalyst peripheral(Outback Joey was dumped last year, but the other 3 are still lost).

[@gohan7926]

I will straight up not pass away until I see the phantom blood movie. Imma be on my death bed and will go into a fucking coma in order to wake up someday and see this damn movie.

[@Kkmzji]

I hope slamfest is found soon! The idea of people in Nintendo character costumes fighting it out in the ring is so interesting to me. I’d love to see how that played out, sounds like it’s really entertaining! But I do have my doubts about it being released. If anyone had it, it would be Nintendo. Nintendo is pretty good with their archival stuff, so they most likely have it in their vaults. But I doubt they’d ever release it.

[@constancestrawn1303]

Why are you calling Batman Fights Dracula "black and white" when the ad mentions color 3 times? Maybe looking for a B/W film is hanging up the search

[@blownupfishnchips9071]

For you non Filipinos, let me give you a taste of how terrible film preservation is. The longest running noon variety show, Eat Bulaga, has over 10,000 episodes since 1979 but the oldest surviving episode is from 1982. I asked my mom is she watched Eat Bulaga during its early years but she said she only watched it starting around 1980. I say to myself, first Star Wars unaltered trilogy then this.

I think you’re looking in the wrong place for that Sonic 06 trailer. You’ve been looking at PCs. You should be checking Xbox 360 hard drives. Back in the day you didn’t stream Xbox 360 trailers, you had to download them. Because capture cards were hard to get working back then, my guess is someone recorded their 360 feed off their HDTV since there was no way to get the footage off the hard drive and transferred to a PC at the time (at least not officially)

[@ebiUsher]

crazy how the pieces of media that we have most of are the hardest to find

[@totaldramasurvivorfan9866]

Try and find Season 1 of The Shapies. I have been trying for over a decade now to find, but no luck. Could you please spread the word cause someone must have tapes or something. I miss watching it. I used to watch it on Saturdays on PBS back in 2002 here in the U.S

[@tboogz284]

I had no idea about the Slamfest 99 search. I remember watching the fight after searching for where the Super Smash Bros ad fight scene came from. It was bad quality from what I remember and wasn't what I was expecting. Nothing I would have saved for sure.

[@V01D_Protogen]

I have gone through hell looking for one concert video. the film was "Kraftwerk at the Caribe Hilton: 1975". I've traveled from all the way to Puerto Rico (I'm German). I decided to look into it and here's what I found: It aired live on WKAQ Telemundo, beginning at 8:25pm and ending at 11:40pm, on the 30th of April, 1975. Telemundo did not have VTRs or Kinescopes, so they had no way to record it.

[@WestonEvans]

It was live streamed? Over the internet? In ‘99? Now I can see it being on Nintendo website but I doubt there was ever a video recording in the first place

[@JZJ7777]

Well, considering it’s considered lost now, a video is doubtful.

[@PASTELXENON]

always good when you upload

[@LSuperSonicQ]

Thank you for watching! There's always lost media out there worth discussing in videos.

The pink morning stuff seriously looks like something like the Walten Files or something lol, spoopy

Does anyone know what the song at 10:00 is? It sounds familiar. It'd be cool if there was a playlist for all of the songs used in your videos!

[@SuperDavidBrothers]

Also, even if Slamfest and Batman are found, are people allowed to release them (since Nintendo owns the rights to Smash and DC owns the rights to Batman)? I'm especially nervous if someone found the copy of Batman Fights Dracula and released it because if they release it and DC takes the video down and terminates the user due to the film being unauthorized and unlicensed, then we may never see the film ever again or at all because DC will likely either have it secured in their archives forever, or throw it away after that user uploads it (especially since it's from the 60s).

Does sonic in Sydney counts as something for lost media?, it is only know of thanks to a commercial CD and some photos of the scenario, at first a costume play and later changed into a puppet play, There´s not much more find, only that there was a set up for Sonic and Tails to come out at places in the park to banter in the middle of the public, also the play have a original bird character who was the narrator of the play.
