as an experiment, if we take some of the raw 1080p ESB test transfers, and give them to 10 different people, we'll end up with 10 different takes on the restoration of it.. i can provide a short sample of 1-2 minutes, and see what you come up with...

I think that is only when you muddle the term "restoration". If you've paid attention to the last few pages, Chainsaw, Zombie, Gaffer, Harmy, myself, and others I am forgetting (sorry guys), all have pretty much the exact same idea in mind of what restoration actually is. Our goal, as the goal of any true restoration ought to be to bring it as close to the original as possible. It has always been that way, that is what restoration is. Maybe we would have slightly different variation on what we think would need to be done, if you gave a project to ten of us to do on our own, sure, our results would all probably look slightly different.

if that were the case, why am i having a hard time in trusting/convincing

people about who should work on it, and how? isn't it better to appoint

one trusted person to do what they think is right, and go with that?

sure, the basic goal is the same, and yeah, any one of the capable guys

might be able to do a quick 'raw' color-corrected version, but i think a

properly 'restored' work, is easily years worth of time/dedication and effort,

and i don't know if i could ask someone to make that sacrifice unless

they've proven they could do it in the past.. still, i think we will definitely

have some interesting times ahead in the next few years..

later
