For those wondering about my process I made this quick video talking about the changes I’m making. Hopefully it helps someone with a similar project in the future. (Sorry it’s long)
That is a fantastic video, which I hope more people will see, as it clearly shows the huge amount of work that goes into restoring footage. Rotoscoping, plus creating clean, accurate background plates is not easy by any measure; I hope that people who see it will appreciate the work that went into it!
