I don’t necessarily need help on anything, but you should create a course about what you learn. I’m trying to get into manual restoration because automatic has a lot of downsides and I’m interested in starting my own Blu-Ray brand similar to Shout-Factory, Arrow Video, and other boutique brands.

That’s a great idea. I have nothing but encouragement for your idea, hopefully I’ll get good enough that you’ll hire me! I’ve got endless lists of films I’m dying to give physical Media releases to. Would be a dream to work on them.

Out of curiosity, what do people who work in the industry think of the fan restoration scene? Are they even aware of it?
I would think if more pros were aware of many of the reasons people do their own restorations, such as heavy NR, poor audio remixes, etc., it would increase the overall quality of a lot of official releases.

Anyways, welcome to the forum!

Thank you for the welcome! From what I’ve seen, the people that are actually doing the restorations themselves don’t have any knowledge on fan restorations/projects. But the guys I work with are very specific with their work and hate using tools such as NR which I was very appreciative to find out. The head of digital restoration here said he can count on one hand how many times he’s used NR and hates doing it due to compromising detail.

I’d love to raise awareness of fan projects and spread the word, but we mostly work with Arrow Video who are one of the few companies that actually take good care of their restorations!

I’d love to help with this project! I work in film restoration for a company in London called R3store Studios, unfortunately the company itself can’t get involved with this but I’d love to offer up my services on the side if you need any restoration work done and possible colour correction. Let me know.

In terms of restoration, it’s just a few lines. I might have to see your work to know how good it is. If it’s good, then I’ll consider it.

Honestly, I’m new to it so I doubt I’ll blow you away. I don’t want money or anything, just interested in helping. Don’t worry too much if there’s nothing for me to do, cheers.

Hi everyone,

I’m a Studio Assistant for a company in London called ‘R3store Studios’, and I’m just starting to learn digital-restoration from the best.

I was wondering if anyone has any projects that need help with digital restoration? Such as removing scratches, dirt, flicker and incorporating stabilisation. I’d love to help out for free, in order to keep film restoration alive and also improve my own skills going forward.

let me know your thoughts, our team works on many titles for Arrow Video so they’re the guys I’m learning from. Not bad, huh?
