7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Film Restoration ReviewBy SFosterThis book covers in detail the film restoration process. It starts out with information about film; its history and how we perceive light and motion. It then goes into the technical processes and into the ethical concerns that arise in doing a restoration project. One of the few books to cover the subject. This book is pricy; but thorough. At times it gets rather technical but overall I learned a lot about film as a medium and the considerations that any film-maker (especially the ones producing only digitally) should consider; in terms of how to preservation. It is written in a short section bullet-point format. This localizes the concepts and discussions in concise areas which helps the reader - when the going gets too technical you can skip easily to the next bullet. The books has a section on techniques and case studies too; as well as a comprehensive glossary. Overall I found this to be a meticulous work on the subject. Im giving it a generous 5/5 stars; mainly because it is one of the only books on the subject; and it does it very well.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
