other things to think about:
-----------------------------------
1 - image stabilization
====================
some shots will be stabilized due to the nature
of the film, whether this was in the original or
not remains to be seen
2 - dirt / dust and scratch cleanup
========================
if it's on the print, it will probably stay in there,
unless its very distracting from the film
3 - sprocket damage
=========================
will be cleaned up
4 - cropping
=========================
the standard 5-10% of the image will be done
and this helps with the stabilization also
5 - grain removal / reduction
=========================
only the harshest scenes will have some grain
removed if we have sharper frames for them
6 - duplicate, dark, or 'lost' frames
============================
we'll try to match the original reel lengths
(NOT the gout counts) as naturally as possibly
there may be a few extra frames near the
reel breaks
7 - headers and tails
================================
will be preserved
==========================================
maybe an index for this would be like
GOUT = 100%
how original is our version?
(shorter is better for image effects,
longer is better for resolution/image size,
if its 100% it should match evenly)
===================================
0 ----------------------------50------------------------100
total frames
------------------------------------------------------------+
sound resolution (35mm stereo)
------------------------------------------------------------+
resolution (1080p HD)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
noise reduction
----+
image per frame (even with cropping)
-----------------------------------------------------------------+
subtitle placement
-------------------------------------------------------------+
stabilization, jitter, weave
-------------+
anything else?
============================================
well the colors will be the biggest and most critical issues.
we have the lpp print colors to start with, and now with
harmy's ib tech based DE2.0 for a few more hints, along with
a few other unnamed sources we'll have it pinned down.
whether you think some scenes will be too dark or different
we're still going with what looks best in context of the original
film and the references. of course you can tweak it to your
liking. and as seen in several examples in the cinematography
thread, you can compare it to what we have.
