Bob,

Do you think your 8mm master of Montreal '77 would benefit from restoration by Chief Mouse?

It's not mine.

And clearly Chief Mouse could turn a turd into a juicy steak.

Looks good, thanks.

needs color correcting

MERCI BEAUCOUP

If Sikke shares a better copy of this, I'll do that, plus manually remove all the other film damage that's still there (like the big lines).

Thanks.

Hello people

While we wait for a better copy, and the excellent work of Chief
I made a video remastering from video's Chief,
I'm not a professional, but I share what I worked, I hope you like it.

Regards

^ thanks! Looks good from screenshots. Maybe the colours are bit too orange in the 2nd comparison. Viewing it from phone though - might look different on PC.

We have another genius in the camp.
Thanks for sharing your work, but why the conversion to NTSC?

Can't watch it at the moment. Will do tomorrow.
Did you do this by taking a neighbour frame and masking the defect or manual painting work in Photoshop? I had an idea of morphing the before and after frames (around the damaged one) thus recreating the damaged frame and masking out the defect from the damaged one, replacing the defect part with a mask from the morphed result. This only works if the scene doesn't start with a damaged frame though.

Yes it´s Photoshop frame to frame, you know it's very hard to do, taking small parts from here and there.
And masking sometimes.
Colours...mm I took the Official dvd reference,  and maybe it's little yellow.
And I rendered it in ntsc. beacause I'm from South America.
If you want it, I can change it.

^ Which DVD? Greatest Flix I & II DVD or Greatest Video Hits? Because the second is pure bullshit (puta mierda). The first one is almost a straight copy of the masters, when the last has some "color correction" (mierda).
