RESTORATION

With production and post production focusing more on digital solutions, the Restoration and Preservation of non-digital content have arguably become among the most important challenges faced by the film and television industries.

Today, opportunities abound for content owners to bring to market assets that can capture new generations of viewers. Whether working with classic films in black and white, or cultural artefacts from the last few decades or even today, it’s vital to respect the medium and restore or preserve the content while maintaining its intrinsic produced quality.

Technicolor's team in Montreal team can provide this unique bridge between the worlds of photochemical and digital imaging, either by repairing image defects in newer assets or resurrecting severely compromised vintage elements. Our Restoration department is dedicated to the art and science of image and sound restoration and preservation. Driven by a team of experienced, meticulous and creative specialists, the restoration department offers a wide spectrum of innovative solutions to film studios, production companies and image archives worldwide.
