WEST PALM BEACH, FL — (Marketwire) — 11/15/12 — ., the market leader in the development and distribution of independent television networks with a core focus on the market, announced today , their digital film production facilities for the restoration of classic movies. Olympusat 360 yields the breathtaking results in restoring classic movies. To date Olympusat 360 has restored a robust library of classic Spanish language films. The company is now making these restoration capabilities to new companies wanting to restore films, TV shows, commercials, documentaries, etc.
“Each movie is like a time capsule,” said Tom Mohler, President and CEO, Olympusat, Holdings, LLC. “We capture it from the film negative, then turn it into a digital asset, which is forever restored in history — all while helping to preserve the iconic culture of Mexican and Latin American Cinema.”
This is a process that involves hundreds of man-hours per film to restore. The restoration starts with the cleaning and scanning of the negatives, capturing all the images to 2k or 4k, which is much higher resolution than HD with our optical scanners. The captured movies are the restored frame by frame by highly trained and skilled editors, aided by highly sophisticated software. After the movies are restored, which can take weeks even with a team working 24 hours a day, the movie is sent to color correction, where the colors are made to look as good or better than the original movie. Finally, it is sent to our audio correction suites, where the audio is synchronized and corrected. The audio correction process itself takes many weeks per film where Olympusat-s highly skilled experts do their magic. These films, once completed are definitely better than what audiences saw 40, 50 or 70 years ago.
“We needed classic movies for our new Classic HD film network, Ultra Clásico,” adds Albert J. Estrada, Senior Vice President, Business Development, “and we found that none of the movies that we wanted to include on our network were in the proper video and audio condition for HD delivery, so we decided to develop our own facility to master this process. Since then we have restored classic as well as contemporary Spanish language films, which include optical scanning, restoration and color correction.”
