Old-time movie revival hour
Many old movies that are digitized require a lot of work
for restoration, because of deteriorating film and crude
photographic equipment from the early twentieth
century. Early moviemakers used hand-cranked
cameras that had loose mechanisms during film
exposure. This loose quality was usually compounded
by equally crude-fitting projection equipment, making
for a pretty jumpy viewing experience.
Restoration of old movie footage in requires many
techniques, depending on the amount of deterioration
or affected motion. In this tutorial, we will stabilize
some footage, reframe it, and rotoscope the worst dirt
particles and scratches. The stabilizing is done in
Adobe?After Effects?, which will give us a steady
palette on which to do our roto work. Unfortunately,
with hand-cranked cameras, the exposure on each
individual frame varies too much to make the proper
adjustments, since too much information is lost in
over-exposed frames.
Note: Y
ou’ll need some of your own footage to complete
this tutorial. Old footage will illustrate this technique the
best, but you can apply the same concepts to any piece of
footage that you choose.
