I’ve been re-watching star trek voyager recently, and I’ve heard when filming, they didn’t clear the wide angle of filming equipment, so it’s not as simple as just going back to the original film. With the advancement of AI, is it only a matter of time until older programs like this are released with more updated formats?
And if yes, do you think AI could also upgrade to 4K. So theoretically you could change a SD 4:3 program and make it 4k 16:9.
I’d imagine it would be easier for the early episodes of Futurama for example due to it being a cartoon and therefore less detailed.
It’s worth noting that edited on tape also means that to make hd versions, you have to re-scan all the camera negatives (if they even still exist), then re-edit all the scenes to be exactly the same editing as the tape editing. Plus, all the colour timing needs to be redone.
It’s a huge amount of work, and the tng stuff wasn’t profitable because of it. It’s just too much.
Color timing?
Sometimes called colour grading
Is the origin of “color timing” refer to a relationship between color and signal on ntsc or pal or something? Just curious about the word timing.
It’s too complex to go over in a comment, but for film, it’s a process of exposing the film through different filters for different lengths of time to produce the final colours you want
Actually, that was a wonderful summary. Thank you!
Isn’t this a perfect example where stable diffusion excels over the traditional process?
No? What? You want to ai generate the show with ai promts?
