A Triumph! Details of Restoration Work on Fox’s The Robe Blu-ray
The Robe looks better than ever after a timely rescue
The Home Theatre Forum hosted an amazing chat with Fox restorationist Schawn Belston on Monday night, regarding his work on the newly released version of The Robe. As the very first Cinemascope film ever made, it represents a landmark in film history as well as a substantial challenge for the restoration team. If you’ve ever wondered what goes into rescuing, restoring and bringing a classic film to Blu-ray, be sure to give the transcript a read. Schawn is very candid about everything outside of the exact dollar amount that went into restoring The Robe. I’m particularly amazed and delighted at the fantastic effort made to remove the offensive “WOW” effect from the existing versions of the soundtrack. Great work by Lowry Digital, Audio Mechanics, Schawn and his team!
Check out the Lowry Digital site as well for images and a detailed look at the process.
