Cintel scanner allows the recovery of footage for the documentary George Michael: Freedom El documental producido por la televisi n brit nica Channel 4 incluye im genes de archivo nunca antes vistas, as como entrevistas actuales con artistas tales como Elton John, Stevie Wonder y James Corden.
El esc ner Cintel de Blackmagic Design ha sido empleado por el canal de televisi n brit nico Channel 4 para digitalizar material de archivo filmado en pel culas de 16 y 35 mm. para su documental autobiogr fico titulado George Michael: Freedom.
La pel cula de 90 minutos de duraci n muestra la biograf a de uno de los artistas m s influyentes en la historia moderna. Narrada por el propio George Michael, revela detalles sinceros de su vida, desde su malogrado primer amor hasta su infame batalla en los tribunales contra Sony, que desafi el modo en el que la industria de la m sica abordaba los contratos de grabaci n.
El documental incluye im genes de archivo nunca antes vistas, as como entrevistas actuales con artistas tales como Elton John, Stevie Wonder y James Corden. La tarea de unir todas esas distintas fuentes se le encomend a la productora y postproductora Headjar Productions, propiedad del editor Gwyn Moxham, la cual complet la primera versi n de la pel cula.
El colorista Dan Moran, del estudio de posproducci n londinense Coffee and TV, realiz el etalonaje y la finalizaci n del documental con DaVinci Resolve Studio.
Moxham reconoce que nuestro mayor reto era averiguar c mo unificar amos todo el material de archivo con el objetivo de incorporarle las entrevistas recientes, que hab an sido grabadas con una c mara Ursa Mini 4.6K. Trabajamos con m ltiples formatos, desde cintas de Video 8 y Betacam SP hasta unidades HDCAM, entre otros tipos de cintas .
Adem s, agreg que no solo hab a m s de 18 metros de m sters que eran nicamente del videoclip Freedom! 90, sino que tambi n descubrimos rollos de la gira Faith, as como ensayos para MTV Unplugged, y deb amos digitalizarlos antes de poder revisarlos y decidir si nos servir an o no. Asimismo, encontramos un programa de South Bank Show filmado en una cinta de 16 mm en el que particip George durante la poca de Listen Without Prejudice. Ten amos una gran cantidad de material con el que deb amos trabajar .
Digitalizaci n con calidad 4K
En vez de emplear un telecine para digitalizar los rollos, el equipo opt por una unidad Cintel de Blackmagic, que es m s accesible, a fin de escanear el material grabado en cintas tanto de 16 como de 35 mm. Moxham se bas en sus primeras experiencias como proyeccionista de pel culas con el objetivo de ayudar en este proceso.
Por supuesto que trabajar con los negativos me puso mucho m s nervioso que hacerlo con im genes digitales, pero jam s tuve que preocuparme. El esc ner Cintel es ideal. Su instalaci n es muy sencilla y adem s, una vez conectado a un equipo inform tico, su uso es muy intuitivo, incluso si nunca antes has trabajado con este tipo de pel culas , a ade Moxham.
Gracias a Cintel, Moxham pudo digitalizar con calidad 4K y en tiempo real m s de nueve metros de cinta proveniente de los rollos finales. Cada toma se compar con los videoclips originales a efectos de conseguir la mayor precisi n posible, y una vez completamente restauradas, Jerry Chater se encarg de completar el proceso de edici n. Trabajar en este proyecto fue una experiencia magn fica, en particular porque tuve la oportunidad de ver Freedom! 90 remasterizado en 4K, videoclip que marc un hito en la industria de la m sica. Verdaderamente fue un momento digno de admiraci n , concluy Moxham.
