Our experienced and dedicated staff offers both analog and digital film restoration and preservation. With respect to the soul of the original material, we welcome the challenges of bringing old, damaged film back to life on the screen.
Bringing new life to treasured film classics
Nordisk Film Post Production Restoration and Remastering Department is your partner for 2K or 4K digital high-end film restoration of film classics and re-mastering projects as well as for the digitization of your entire film collection at affordable and reasonable costs.
Every restoration project has its own specific problems, aims and solutions.
Some projects only call for scanning, grading, just light restoration and data backup for preservation purposes. Other projects need complex reconstruction, or a complete clean up, with the need to ensure that the restoration retains the original authentic image.
Most projects fall in somewhere between the two. Nordisk Film Post Production can offer a wide variety of digital restoration processes that can be individually tailored to each project. The result of the work can be output in different media and formats.
Black and white restoration
Less complex than color restoration, but the material is typically more damaged due to age and handling. B/W material often requires “De-Flicker”, the correction of uneven image densities, before image repair and grading.
Normally the best result is obtained if the original camera negatives are available, but this is not always the case, and if required we will help in the assessment of a project by reviewing all available optical generations. Sometimes missing or very damaged elements can be found in another version, sometimes even a print.
Color restoration
The digital restoration can address severe color fading that cannot be easily corrected using optical restoration. Flicker, usually less of a problem with color, is sometimes more effectively dealt with before grading, sometimes after.
Every project has individual solutions, and a series of tests will be carried out to find the most efficient and viable procedure.
