E' nata una stella (A star is born)
Si tratta del primo film masterizzato interamente a 6k: dalla scansione, al restauro al mastering.
Anche se certi restauri partivano da scansioni a 8k il lavoro di restauro era sempre fatto a 4k. Questo invece è stato fatto INTERAMENTE a 6k.
Materiale di partenza: 35mm CinemaScope 2.55:1
Info:
Warner Brothers has revealed that they are currently restoring the 1954 classic 'A Star is Born' at 6K resolution, in hopes of soon releasing it as a Blu-ray disc. The film, which stars Judy Garland and James Mason, will be the first film to be completely mastered at 6K - from scanning to restoring to mastering - and is expected to take six months to complete.
Ned Price, VP Mastering, Warner Brothers Technical Operations commented, "6K is typically a costly proposition, so that's why we are testing the waters on 'A Star is Born'. As the size of data is more easily managed and the tools become more accessible, we will increase our resolution."
**************************
Famously reconstructed in the early eighties under the leadership of late film historian Ronald Haver, MPI has meticulously preserved and restored Haver's 176-minute version of A Star Is Born to its original luster, bringing back the brilliant, saturated colors and crisp picture. Using cutting edge digital restoration tools, MPI removed heavy chemical staining that affected several portions of the film and utilized an ultra-resolution recombine process to correct the heavily damaged sections. Without this painstaking preservation, the fragile negative stock in which the film was created would surely be near extinction.
"Our colleagues at MPI have not only done a phenomenal job in restoring the impeccable visual style of this great motion picture, but through their work, they have also ensured the survival of this cinematic treasure," said George Feltenstein, senior vice president, theatrical catalog marketing, Warner Home Video. "The unparalleled superiority of Blu-ray combined with one of the best musical dramas ever made, come together to create an unforgettable home entertainment experience that is now preserved for the ages."
