we have a mix of files.. some RAW, some not. we won't know until

the end when we decide what to do with them, and organize them.

 

as far as the sound. yes,  it is captured separately.

and it would be very hard to synchronize anyways,

due to frame accuracy needed to combine them.

 

ultimately, you have to process the frames first,

convert to video, then do color corrections on scenes etc.

or do it to individual frames -> combine to scenes,

then assemble the video track, and synch to the audio.

 

we're not going to release the premiere, avid, or other

workfiles though. (you would have to have the exact same setup,

and pro software anyways, so that would be difficult).

also those are the property of the restorers, and we are

documenting the changes made, the fixes, and what processes

we used, so there will be some transparency on the final

product. and you won't have to guess what is being altered.

 

there's a lot of subtle digital manipulation going on,

stabilization, warping fixed, and many other impercetible

fixes that you will never even notice. but it's good to know

what they are. i don't think we're going to document all

the dust,dirt and scratches though. unless they are major

ones. of course the ones that are in the source film will

remain there.

 

later
