The ghosting in the animated sections are quite odd. Although it seems to only occur about every other field in live action portions, there's something like 50% more blended fields in any section with animation. Sometimes many consecutive.
I don't know if it has to do with the original film, or something else. Since if I threw out 100% of the blended fields there would be large jumps in scenes, it's a necessary evil.
Restore24 is quite intelligent. It compares fields and determines (based on the number of edges in a field) the most likely blended field (and in our case the worst of the available ones) and keeps the best. So although there is still _some_ blending, you can definitely see smoother motion.
The original has ghosts that lead motion and is really ugly to my eye. That issue is largely absent in the final video.
Between that and the sharpening, I'm going to grudgingly say that my final video might be superior to the original...
I've tried to contact Mentor to get his blessing on this project and see how he feels about the use of his name in my final release... but to no avail.
I believe this might become another in the "RtW" series. :-)
(Oh and the posted test clip is not sharpened. It was just a test of restore24's function.)
