They did a great job bringing these 2 films back to life. I just saw a double bill showing of both films at the everyman cinema. well done all concerned.
I just bought and watched both films on Apple TV the other day. Absolutely fantastic restoration and it took me right back to when my aunt took me to see the double bill at a cinema in Ilford in 19 sixty something.
I own a super 8mm film print of the second movie, and the colour on that is amazing. Blue-Ray didn't do do the colour justice. I don't have a 4k player but just seeing the clips here is amazing. I love the detail.
Peter Cushing. The definitive Dr. Who..He turned the TV show down. He was not a Time Lord. He builds the Tardis. So much going on in the first movie. He opted for the Sherlock Holmes TV show instead.. Don't know what year they were made. We didn't get the TV show in the US until 1981.. Saw these movies in the 90s. I'd like to know how old Peter Cushing was when he did the movies..
Well that explains why the releases are so damn expensive and why they are full of tat extras: expensive to pay for the sheer amount of unexpected restoration time and tat extras (awful posters, artcards, pointless coin) to make the buyer feel as though they are paying for something more substantial. Can't wait to see them!
This is both fascinating and depressing the fact there's hundreds of movies out there basically disintegrating and will be lost to time if there not digital brought back.
Please Studiocanal, commission more 4K restorations from Silver Salt. Their 4K restorations look authentic! Serpico, Red Sonja and King Kong that have been processed by other restoration companies have a false and revisionist colour grading with a distracting yellow or green tint.
The software they are using for color-correction is called "Davinci Resolve" its actually free and all the restoration companies use it. As for restoring dirt from frames, photoshop works really well. hope this helps
@@ClarkTeddles DaVinci Resolve actually does have some built in restoration features, dike dust busting / scratch fixing + in the paid one, DNR (if you're a film purist, don't use it, at least not heavily). AviSynth is another free tool, problem is it's old (performance bottlenecks, dependencies, *really* finnicky) and requires coding for precise adjustments, but pretty much everything has an implemented solution created by the dedicated user group on the forums + Doom9! It would probably work better for stuff on tape than stuff on film. (From what I understand, I think AviSynth also works like a "blanket" tool, doing everything in one pass and no room to go back in on individual sections to fix any automatic corrections manually. Better than Topaz, at least!)
Let's hope they don't use DNR technologies many remastered Japanese animations get before put on blu ray and sold as 4K where all the grain and details along with it are lost completely
All that hard work and cant even make a good proper 4k steel book instead we get a cartoon picture on the front and not very retro one at that. If they paid more attention to the steel book i would of brought them such a classic film that what i would say even better than what we get from today doctor who tv shows
Us 'boring' restoration men & women are the ones that actually deliver the quality. You should all bow down and worship us. It's very hard work. Just sayin' ;)
Hdr... They scanned the film once, not good enough for Hdr, christ, then saying, we just tried to copy the colours from the last dvd, then changed it anyway... You paid this man?

So I should watch them? Snd which one takes place first?
@@timeywimeybronyDr Who and the Daleks is first.
They're...fine. They're adaptations of the first 2 TV Dalek stories, cashing in on Dalekmania.
@@MuchWhittering nice! Thanks!
Wonderful. As an ex BBC man, OK, VT not film, I appreciate this hard work deeply !
An amazing restoration done by studio canal and of a timeless classic movie

Thanks guys, really appreciated.

Looking forward to buying these on 4k, when they release them without all the extra crap in the boxes and the price is actually reasonable.

PS.. Love the new poster artwork.
Dr. Who gonna talk to you for what those important films will be restored.
What?😂
have these been released in US?
They will be. I taped them in 1994 when they were run on TV.. Up til then ,I didn't know Peter Cushing ever played Dr. Who.
Don't you think he looks tired?
Wouldn’t you be tired after all of this work to restore these films?
Which free software (no watermark) could be used for video restoration?
None. If you want a no watermark software to restore videos, you'll have to pay

its a paid software but topaz labs video enhanse ai can be used to increase the resolution when needed
nothing is paid if you sail the seas

@ 0:22 - why is she touching the film with her fingers? She should not be touching the film especially if she is going to scan and restore?
Shouldn’t not? That doesn’t make sense!
@@theelvisguru9490 Yes, our fingers have oil and dirt on them. It is better to put on gloves, kind of like you are holding fine art or something!
@@Traveling_Texas_in_a_Tesla no I meant your double negative “shouldn’t not” does not make sense. That means you should
@@theelvisguru9490 lol, fat fingers. I corrected now!
Why is it called a scan when they are actually taking a photo of every frame?
Latest restoration honestly looked so sterile, information was lost in the dark areas too, was almost sad to see the film looking so cold and lifeless

lmao
Now that it's restored, maybe Criterion will do their own edition
Wetgate is not good for the longevity of the film. Yes it does a great job. But it's not good for the film.
The video started with a big fanfare and then cut straight to the most boring sounding man in the world.
