Re: [Avid-L2] Improving old footage

 

With video as the source, you are more limited.

If you have 16mm and 35mm film to work with,
you are far better off..  Get it newly scanned
at the highest rez available.

Scanning prices have come down,
as choices of scanning methods
have multiplied.

Jackson was working with 35mm to begin with,
greatly expanding his options.

It seems lately there has been a lot of attention on improving the quality of archival footage with Peter Jackson rising to the pinnacle with his colorization and uprezzing of WWI footage..  I recently say immigrant footage from the 30s that looked amazing at 4K.


I am working on pre production of that doc that has hours of video from the 60s and lots of him from the 40s.  My question is….what are some of the options to get this material to 4K.  Producer is pushing for this so I wanted to know if there is software for some of this or is it all out-house to a a company with the heavy gear and expensive price tags.

Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks
