16mm film restoration

This is from an old 16mm print of an episode of "My three sons".

I have attempted to restore the color in the film.

On the left you can see the restored film and on the right you can see the original film.

Let me know what you think of this work

I saw something similar on a bonus feature for the 1969 film "Z"

[crowdedenz87]

@frankd1965 Yeah this type of feature seems to be included on a lot of films. That have under gone some type of a digital restoration.

I actually got the idea for this video, while watching the old special features on a star wars video.

It's an amazing process and this is a good way to present the type of work that's involved in the film restoration process.

what software did you use to restore the film?.

[crowdedenz87]

@nicolaj0154 Sorry for the long delay in the reply.

I used a program called "Final cut pro".

And here i thought things were really just oranger in the 60s and 70s.

Nice job.

@bbrownrigg Thanks

When I was something like four years old I always thought that during the time of B & W film. That the world was actually black and white.

But it's a shame that film that was printed on Eastman film in the 60's and the 70's. Is now deteriorating and there aren't alot of measures to prevent this.

I heard that the original print of star wars has completely faded away, due to fact.

I have some old Disneyland reels, that I have to get around to restoring at some point.

I wish I knew how to transfer Hd video TO 16 MM film any thoughts?

@imperial73 I forgot about the U-Matic. Didn't those come out in 1969? I guess that was the first true VCR, but I think of VTRs and VCRs in the same category since the're almost the same thing. Good point, though.

[imperial73]

@MVillani1985 without checking my facts, I think you mean that the cv2000 was a VTR not a VCR, meaning reel-reel, as were sound tape recorders at the time. The earliest video tape cartridge that I'm aware of was the U-matic, which afaik, predated VHS and BETA formats. I remember in the 70s educational films wer shown in our school on 16mm, and it was a suprise to see a giant cartridge video tape at the time.

Katie, Tina Cole was such a cutie, I had a big crush on her.

[MVillani1985]

@yerblues1968 Actually, the VCR is older than you think. I know this is an old comment, but I'd just like to point out that the first VCR was made in 1956 and the first commercially available VCR, the CV-2000 was released in 1965. Sorry for the nitpick, but overall I agree with what you were saying here.

What program did you use to do this? Nice job!

The right side is much better, but the green of her dress extends up into her face. But it's still a good improvement. Well done.

[mc7t]

Restoration looks excellent..Well done matey.

How did you transfer this video? You'd get a lot farther using optical filters as much as possible, using the digital tools only for fine tuning.
