Avoid Stress
To get the incredible results that can be seen in the sample, we worked with original negatives, and inter-positives scanned frame by frame for maximum resolution and fixity. To avoid stress on original materials, we used an innovative treatment of dry cleaning and digital cleaning frame by frame.
Color grading scene by scene made respecting the original version but matching to current standards. For the reconstruction of the soundtrack, we have the invaluable help of the creator of the original music, Luis María Serra.

Sound Restoration
Once extracted the clicks and crackles different filters were individually configured focused on remove each of the noise profiles. Besides the broadband noise, ground loops noise present in the lines of the tension of the equipment used during the recording process was removed. In this manner, we get more presence and dialog intelligibility and the appearance of low-level sounds like environments, FX and Foley who were masked by noise. This way the original audio restoration process got a significant improvement of dynamic range and crest factor throughout the project. The audio remastering was continued, focusing attention in multiscreen mastering.
