here is an example of what we look for

when we review the reels..

(this doesn't have frame numbers in it yet).

 

for example, reel 1 of empire strikes back:

=============================

 

reel 1 notes

----------------

time (min:sec) notes description

================================================================

01:56-02:19    image pulses/out of focus/ color of stars is off? [opening shot]

02:20-02:35    image pulses/shakes [space probe]

02:53-03:01    image shakes, discoloration on right side of screen [han on tauntaun]

04:17-04:21    image pulses/out of focus/shakes [han on tauntaun enters cave]

16:45-16:55    image shakes [luke in bed]

17:40-18:05    image pulses/shakes [luke and leia]

18:30-18:35    image pulses/shakes/out of focus [c3p0]   

19:27-19:35    image pulses/shakes [leia and general] 

19:37-20:19    image pulses/shakes/out of focus [star destroyers]

20:29-21:22    image pulses/shakes/out of focus [on star destroyer]


total time , about:

========================

23+15+8+4+10+25+5+8+42+53

= 193 sec = 3min:13sec

===========================================
reel 2 notes
==========================================
----------------
time (min:sec) notes description
=======================================================
00:00-00:17    needs a lot of scratch cleanup [luke and medical droid]
01:20-01:50    image shakes/pulses [darth vader in egg]
05:30-05:35    effects shot looks red [battle]
08:00-08:10    image is jumpy/shaky [han and chewbacca]
09:14-09:16    effect shot looks red, explosion [battle]
19:04-19:05    large white glitch at bottom of screen [luke xwing]
19:50-19:56    lots of dirt/noise [luke xwing]
total time , about:
========================
17+30+5+10+2+1+6
= 71 sec = 1min:11sec
===========================
etc.
so we will be fixing those sequences digitally.
or using another source reel to replace scenes that are
too hard to fix.
after this, the general dust, dirt, scratches fixes will be made.
then any other image correction will be done. the color correction
has already been finished.
later
