The sequel to the Pink Panther. This follow up puts more focus on Inspector Clouseau vs the previous film, which was more of an ensemble cast. A Shot in the Dark is generally considered the strongest film in the series and is one of Peter Sellers’ great works. Sadly this has not been released on BluRay as of yet.

**Objective: **Remaster the laserdisc of A Shot in the Dark, fix the contrast, upscale to 720p.

**Why: **There is a DVD of this. The sound mixing on it is good but the visual transfer leaves something to be desired compared with the laserdisc. True, the laserdisc is softer but a transfer at a high bitrate, means you only see the qualities of the analog signal and not the pixel noise of upscaling the DVD.

**What Can I Do: **I can provide the laserdisc, offer my equipment and time to fix the contrast (the laserdisc is slightly washed out but the color is impressive and accurate), do any audio work that needs doing, and upscale the video.

**What I Need: **Someone who has the capability of digitally recording analog signals. I’m a fulltime filmmaker but I seldom work with legacy material. I have an analog to USB recorder for my Mac but it’s really made for home movies. It records at a measly 5mbps in MPEG2. Not suitable for this. Looking for something that will preserve the look of the analog signal, but upscaled without the introduction of pixels.
