Yes, it deserves a 2K scan (I don't think there is enough data to justify a 4K scan, except perhaps 'Tale of the Wind'.)
Now I'm afraid it's not going to happen. The movies are still there, but a lot of them were re-assembled from multiple copies.
And i've put a shitload of work in cleaning it all up. (Removing bad tape cuts by rotoscoping, not cutting out frames!), stabilising, rotoscoping finger prints / cut marks / other dirt / dust.
(It took my company over a year, I've build ReCut (Cutfinder), and a dedicated Rotoscoping tool (Send frames to Photoshop/back with Undo), just for that, and I made tremendous improvements to my subtitle tool to accommodate for this job. Luckily I had interns back then :-)
To make it clear, outputting 20 DCP's (multi language subs / multiple sound tracks on a lot of them) would add up to some 15K euros if it was a commercial job.
I'm willing to take it on if I get a budget of 3K euros. And I'm afraid even that is out of the question.
(Note to self, get into sewer technology.)
18 to 24 fps (and it is likely 16fps as 18 fps didn't officially become common until Super-8) or 16-24 fps is easy with Resolve.
Films were scanned 24->25, but I brought them back to 23.976 for DVD release, hence I'm still pissed when people use 23.98, as it took me days to figure out why my sound was out of sync….
Can you elaborate what happens if I put 16 FPS into Resolve, and speed up to 24? Frame added every 2 frames? (That will be ugly, and I would not need Resolve, a simple QT export would do the same….)
But putting important films through all of this torture seems very wrong to me, unless the films are totally lost and this is all that exists.
Since you're a fan, would you like a copy of the original DVD box, or at least a ripped version?
