Are you going to remove the matte shots by utilizing old photos like this:

Unfortunately, I don’t have much in the way of special effects skills. I would love to use shots without effects, but unless the shot already exists in motion, I will not be able to change it on my own. That said, if anyone is able to restore the pre-effects shots, I’d be pleased and would make use of them.
