Still even a faded 16mm dupe tv station print is better than a vhs tape recording of 1980s vintage.

Too bad Mitch does not have access to one.

We have an older version of the Bowers footage, it's not the cleaner version that Alex has.

They seem to have a stutter problem that can't be completely fixed. So we will only be using it for just a couple of shots, if all our main sources has fade-outs or logos.

Our main source for the KCOP material is a real gem. It has great color, virtually no noise, and runs smooth as silk. It's the frame-by-frame cleaning of dirt, scratches, and spots from the various sources that's the most time-consuming part.

Mitch promised pictures, but I thought it'd be nice to show some work-in-progress footage.

Below is some of our destruction footage (ignore the timecode):

Tomorrow I'll upload some snippets of other scenes in one file.

Enjoy!
