I clicked on the video expecting one of those fake restoration videos that have been so popular lately, but instead found a work of art. This is truly beautiful!
Not gonna lie, when i clicked the video i thought it was just gonna be some random amateur youtube filling in a worn down poster with a colored pencil. Wasnt expecting this professional restoration demonstration.
As a poster and art print collector, as well as being an artist myself, I absolutely loved watching this process. The meeting of science, art, and craftsmanship is awesome. Subscribed!
I have some experience with the colored-pencil method of filling in crease lines from when I was a custom framer, and I must say the layering of colors in the 3:40 segment was magnificent.
Seeing so much love being put into the restoration of one of my favourite posters made me very happy, and as an artist myself I could really appreciate the battle with the pinks and other colours in that laser beam to get it to blend. Awesome work, now subscribing! 👏👏👏💯
thats where the mylar sheet comes in to hold everything in place..once the paper dries it will be strong and the mylar will peel right off...i did this to a few old maps....the mylar is key.
Really fascinating. Always wondered about the mounting process. And surprised that you showed the meticulous cosmetic touch up with the various Prismacolors.
I don’t understand. In my 50 years of life, every time I’ve put water on paper, it has warped and melted and died. What in the world is happening here? This is like fire freezing something.
I suppose since it has that plastic sheet giving it structure, and then squeegeed/ mounted taut to the canvas so wrinkling wouldn't be a possibility. Id also assume they go about it on a case by case basis, like if they were dealing with something using water soluble ink.
you can wet a paper so long as it's on a flat even surface that supports its shape. in order for it to dry flat you then have to weigh it down (or glue it I suppose?). paper warps when you let it dry without support because the fibers spread out unevenly. not an expert though.
Beautiful poster and another great job by you guys! I have the tall version of this poster framed in my office. Cherished every day. Star Wars forever ❤
I have an old iron maiden tour poster that was hanging on the ceiling of my old garage from the previous owner. That thing could really use some love and care like this.
Pretty cool work. I have your next project! It’s an X-Men animated series poster I got from Pizza Hut in the 4th grade. I can’t bring myself to trash it. 😆
When I think restoration I imagine something brought back to the quality when acquired.... but this has been restored to when it was just printed! Amazing.
I have Japanese posters and i only have one Belgian, they are really fragile paper because they are so thin, all are 80s posters 😊 Taking the Belgian one which is Scanners to Comic con to be signed by Michael Ironside, have to keep it clipped to the frame back
Beautiful work as always! I love the UK Quad format, that wide horizontal frame always feels epic. What is the largest size that you're able to restore? 3-sheets? 6-sheets?
I've been watching fine arts restoration and conservation on the Baumgartner Restoration channel for years and I'm surprised that you'd use something like paints and colored pencils. I would have thought you'd want something reversible. Hosing it down with water was also surprising but I don't know how durable this poster paper is and it seems like you got a favorable result.
I love your guys work, I follow you on Instagram as well, I was wondering do you guys fix holes cause my bugs. I have a poster that was hanging on the wall, I noticed a little holes and some of the edge has been chewed away by some kind of insect. Do you guys replace paper logs like that?
New subscriber, Im sure this has been answered before but how come the water based solutions don't cause any bleeding? Are there certain inks or printing methods that cause ink to bleed or is there something to do with the water solution that prevents ink bleed?
I do like that the creases are removed, but prefer the tri-fold lines remain unpainted. I don't know. It gives a bit more charm and helps it to retain its authenticity. Masterful work but that is just my opinion.
I think it might be worth mentioning in future videos, for the benefits of idiots like me, that the posters are mounted on Linen Paper. I was of the impression that linen was exclusively cloth, so I was confused when you mentioned mounting the poster onto paper, but then called it linen later on. I had to google to find out you can get linen based paper.
We are working on a video explaining linen backing and it's benefits! For our process specifically, we mount an acid-free barrier paper onto the linen before mounting the poster. Hope that clears it up a little!
The outcome looks good from a far, impressive, In the fine art world conservationists would never colour in or manipulate an old work or damaged work , otherwise you are changing its authenticity and essentially drawing over it? Is this good practice to alter the artwork ever so slightly?

Glad you didn't lie
all that work for such a short glamor shot. gotta give us at least a full minute to revel in the end result
Noted ☺️
Excellent work! Can you restore the rest of the franchise next?
The combining of unexpected colours is astonishing.

Now that's what I call using the force! Amazing
that's pretty awesome
Thanks yt algorithm ❤ liked & subbed. Especially loved the pacing of it, no rushing through with fast cuts for the pencils part.
Thank you 🥰
Awesome!
If only you could've gotten to the Halo 3 poster in Colorado before they recently took it down. Super cool work !

Artist's work in the service of the preservation of cinematographic heritage. Hats off to Madame !!
🥰
That is absolutely amazing work and talent 😭 and my favorite movie of all time too
Watching that close up colored pencil work is so thrilling for some reason.
May the algorithm be with your channel. Fantastic work and very soothing to watch.
this is so satisfying.
Wow… great job, nice skill
Thank you!
A true understanding of colours and materials, and a genuine joy to watch.
Wonderful restoration
Cannot understand how that just doesnt destroy the poster, paper and colour. Very impressive
Human touch will never be replaced
What a great work! Greetings from Chile
🥰
Generative Fill in real life form! Great work!🤘🏻
Damn right you showed off that laser pencilling. Those colors are so hard to do. This was an amazing watch.
🥰

I personally like the cracks. What a beautiful restoration 😊!
Just yesterday i was randomly wondering if anyone was out there restoring works of art on paper. Now I know it exists for prints!
For that kind of videos it's worth to watch youtube. Something peacefull, entertaining but also educative.
Very satisfying, both the process and the result!
This is amazing. Fascinating and relaxing to watch! Subscribed 😊
Thank you! 😊
I gasp when I saw water being added, to clean it, not gonna lie, considering what water does to paper but this was sooooo well done. I love this
🥰
That turned out beautiful.
Better than my attempts as a kid, just using a black Sharpie!
This is so cool and satisfying. Doesn't soaking the poster like that make it really easy to accidentally tear?
thats where the mylar sheet comes in to hold everything in place..once the paper dries it will be strong and the mylar will peel right off...i did this to a few old maps....the mylar is key.
I like seeing posters looking aged and used .. it adds character .
The skillset... definitely subscribed...👍
🥰
A lot of work & true craftsmanship, well done. Great video 😊
Seriously fascinating process! Thank you for producing this video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Totally impressive, didn’t know this was a thing. Awesome work. Wow just wow!
Thank you 😊
Amazing work!
Thank you for the flashback to my youth!
Really fascinating. Always wondered about the mounting process. And surprised that you showed the meticulous cosmetic touch up with the various Prismacolors.
Amazing work. Had no idea this was even possible for paper. Thought it at least needed to be on canvas.
Such artistry! 👍👍‼️
🥰
Utterly stunning work.
Thank you 🥰
Wow…People with amazing skills always amazes me, Amazing!
Beautiful ❤
Thank you 🥰
This is one of the most beautiful movie poster ever. You did an amazing job.
Thank you 😊
RUclips recommendations got it right today.. wonderful stuff, looking forward to bingeing the rest of your videos
So kind 🥰
Pretty amazing work.

Thank god i'm not the only one who is completely baffled

The force is with her, always…
I was like Why are you adding water .. wouldn't that ruin the paper... good work.
Impressive
I really wish I know somebody in my area who could do this……This is increadible !
Very much enjoyed this. Amazing work!
Thank you 😊
My ANxiety Shot up when i saw water being Sprayed onto this... Incredible work
Thank you 😊
@@FourthConeRestoration Im going to Bring People over from Reddit Here
C’est top , je ne connaissais pas vive you tube
❤❤❤
🥰
wow... just WOW!
Beautiful poster and another great job by you guys! I have the tall version of this poster framed in my office. Cherished every day. Star Wars forever ❤
Love seeing this process in action.
Thanks for sharing these videos!
I have an old iron maiden tour poster that was hanging on the ceiling of my old garage from the previous owner. That thing could really use some love and care like this.
Perfect
🥰
Extraordinary work! Just hopping you are appreciated by clients for such a detailed work!
Love- love the Before and After!
Such a beautiful quad. Wish I had this version instead of the awards one.
Good vid! Nice narration, closeups, and steps back 👍
Thank you 😁
Looks like brand new 💗
It's hypnotic to watch this process and I always want to watch more. Great work.
This is the most satisfying thing I've watched in a very long time. Awesome work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing. I wish I had some old posters to send you.
🥰
I love watching you guys' work & the outcome is always awesome! George The GlassMan
Thank you 😊
Rian Johnson should watch this, to understand how cherished and valuable Star Wars is for some.
Mesmerizing work! It got me thinking, what if the poster is printed on both sides? How different is the process?
Depends entirely on what the client wants done! We do have other processes to flatten the paper without covering the back as well 😊
Pretty cool work. I have your next project! It’s an X-Men animated series poster I got from Pizza Hut in the 4th grade. I can’t bring myself to trash it. 😆
Your work is awesome. Your restorer's attention to detail is phenomenal.
Attach of the crayons... Great job. I was a bit worried at the start with the water and bleach treatments on a paper poster...
Amazing
Wow what an amazing job! Lovely video too. Can you do this if the poster has been signed or will the ink from the signatures bleed?
Yes, we work with signed posters all of the time! We test each signature and adjust our process accordingly 😊
When I think restoration I imagine something brought back to the quality when acquired.... but this has been restored to when it was just printed! Amazing.

That was an incredible process and technique. But I could swear the color looks ever so slightly faded on the AFTER photo.
Beautiful work as always! I love the UK Quad format, that wide horizontal frame always feels epic.
What is the largest size that you're able to restore? 3-sheets? 6-sheets?
It's just like digital restoration in photoshop but in real life. So cool. I bet this is immensely satisfying work.
crazy u guys have a full process of persevering the paper. wonder who thought of that
I've been watching fine arts restoration and conservation on the Baumgartner Restoration channel for years and I'm surprised that you'd use something like paints and colored pencils. I would have thought you'd want something reversible. Hosing it down with water was also surprising but I don't know how durable this poster paper is and it seems like you got a favorable result.
All of our restoration techniques are reversible 😊
@@FourthConeRestoration I'd love to hear more about how it is reversible!
I just wish you could clean disney out of star wars with this technique.
Pretty work. MTFBWY
If you're using water based paints for restoration, does that mean those colors will wash out if you ever had to restore it again?
you do incredible work. just out of curiosity, how much would you chare for a job like this?
I love your guys work, I follow you on Instagram as well, I was wondering do you guys fix holes cause my bugs. I have a poster that was hanging on the wall, I noticed a little holes and some of the edge has been chewed away by some kind of insect. Do you guys replace paper logs like that?
We repair bug damage all of the time! If you send us an email with photos we can get you a quote 😊
SO RAD! As a SW Fanboy I'd rather watch this then what's on Disney+ right now! lol

The magic of somehow restoring a poster by drenching it in water and 'bleaching agent'
Good jog. Do you guys restore/fill in paper loss on posters as well?
Thank you! Yes we do!
@@FourthConeRestoration 👍
How the heck does the paper not disintegrate under all that water and squeegeeing? Shocked
