- Alan Lewis, Audiovisual Archivist & Consultant, and Julia Nicoll, Head of the Optical Department at Colorlab, discuss preservation options for film. Film-to-film preservation using an optical printer is shown in great detail. Ways to record film sound are also discussed.
These people must have a very high level of patience. I appreciate their skill.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Kind of funny that a video about film restoration should be uploaded in 240p. Not even telephone quality. Looks dreadful on anything other than a phone.
How do they deal with the film shrinkage in the optical printing process?
So bad video quality, but so interesting documentary... 😎
There is a film at Regent University with no digital copy that they say has vinegar deterioration that they say cannot be digitized because it is too deteriorated. I think there technician doesn't know enough about film preservation. The film is called a Letter to Nancy and is an old 1965 movie featuring Cherylene Lee and Barry Coe. Is someone interested in doing a restoration?
This film is here on youtube, th-cam.com/video/6p_gg31208o/w-d-xo.html
Ironically what this video was shot on is a copy and not a very good one
Today, everything is digital.
Film an archival medium for digital scans, BTW.
