Here is a sample from Empire, raw scan, then a pass with just a quick colour balance done in Nucoda to see if the print is worth using, then a dustbust and ny deflicker/denoise routine as a test.
Obviously he colour still needs a ton of work, I am mainly just checking that the print was worth pursuing. Also no damage repair, hair removal, emulsion scratch removal etc. has been done, this is just a rough pass, so keep that in mind.

Another extremely impressive example. An intense action scene in what I believe you said is the most beat up print of the three OT films. Looks like the dustbusting takes it a long way. If getting to this stage in the cleanup is mostly automated, do you think you can get the OT looking this nice before your licenses expire? There would still be plenty of remaining work, of course, but it’s still an impressive stage to be at.
