Re-Animator restoration by TLE Films: PART 1
- a master was made available – however, due to the quality of the material, the publisher Capelight and TLE Films (responsible for the technical aspects of this release), convinced them to
start from scratch
- base material:
intermidiate positive and
original camera negative
- equipment: IMAGICA Imager XE Advance Plus Film Scanner (
scanned in 4k), Baselight, various programs for digital restoration (a lot of scratches etc. had to be removed, especially on reel 1)
-
color restoration was done on a 6 meter screen and various other monitors, after that the scan was downconverted to 2k for further restoration
- the restoration was done
manual, meaning that
no Cleanup or DeNoising/DeGraining tools were used here in order to maintain all the details
- frames that had to be cleaned up:
40.000 (resulting in
250.000 damages that were corrected)
- some
SFX shots have a lower quality, this is due to the technique of inserting SFX back then
To be continued.
