One of our first projects, “VIRUS“, the post-apocalyptic movie based on Sakyo Komatsu’s 1964 novel, directed by Kinji Fukasaku, and featuring classic actors like Masao Kusakari, Tsunehiko Watase, Glenn Ford along with Robert Vaughn is testament to what RINNUVA can achieve. We do this thanks to combining People’s intelligence with artificial intelligence, and using the most advanced technology available.
RESTORATION WORK – RINNUVA
RINNUVA, our restoration process starts with transforming a poor transfer to video or video conversion into fully corrected images and sounds by using numerous effects and adjustments. In this image you can see the transformation from what we started with and the final result.
The next step in the process is to eliminate grain, scratches, video noise, and anything that degrades the images of this movie. Here you ca see the significant difference in grain between the original image on the left and the one processed. Overall the results that we achieved are about a 5X improvement in grain size and removal of most scratches.
The next critical step is to give colors the dynamic range that was there when the film was first shot. In this instance we also had to deal with a poor film to what appears to be a very poor attempt to gain some contrast after that transfer. This resulted in a glow or pixilation around the edges as it is particularly visible around the flag and building. Our RENNUVA system was able to minimize these errors.
Other improvements that we made to this movie included editing out some sound glitches, removing a huge amount of feed-backs and echo that were due to poor film to video transfer and improving overall sound quality.
