No, not a wetgate transfer, and this scene was in good shape, most of the rest of it is not unfortunately. The deflicker does do a lot of work, but it won’t help with emulsion lines and various forms of damage. It also does a level of stabilisation and removes some dirt and flecks as a welcome side effect.
No time scale, my personal life is kind of in tatters at the moment, and I lost an awful lot of gear, and my income, so progress will be slow. I will post as I get things done, so any posts to the effect of “is anything happening” will probably go unanswered. If it gets abandoned for any reason, I will also post that here.
I am not ‘delivering’ it as such in any format, the restoration will be done at 4K Academy resolution for archival purposes, it will probably clock in at around 16TB or so in size for the final work, per movie. From that any other format could be derived I guess.
