This is a very ambitious project as you can see and we are still hard at work, and we have a few more things to knock off. There is no definitive release date as of yet, but as soon as we know, it will be posted. We do not want to jump the gun as this is getting very close to being a complete package and we want it to be done right.
We want to thank everyone in advance for all the strong support. We are very anxious to push this through this last phase and delivery something that we can all be very proud of. For now, please check out some of the mouth watering images!

Some excerpts about restoration process:

Blue Sunshine – 4k Restoration Project and Release update:

Its been a long time coming and we want to send out a project update regarding the 4k restoration of Jeff Lieberman’s, Blue Sunshine. First of all, the actual restoration of the picture is complete, and simply put, its wonderful. The 4k scan was performed on the Arriscan 6k film scanner, and I chose to utilize the Kodak Dice technology. For the post color work, Davinci’s Resolve was the software of choice and the best colorist I know handled the work. Phoenix Finish Software was used for the digital restoration, removing thousands of instances of dirt, scratches and other damage, that remained. Overall, the digital restoration took me approximately 40 hours.

This total scanning and restoration process on the whole, took quite a bit longer than most of the other completed projects we have done, simply due to the fact that this was a true 4 k restoration. So everything takes longer to do, it is essentially double the size of 2k, and nothing plays back at real time, so you have to be patient, especially while changes are rendering. All in all, the final product looks clean. Color is very consistent as well.
