Using "Topaz Video Enhance AI", upscaled the 480p version and cleaned up the footage to 4K resolution and interoplated to 60fps. Made some minor color-correction and sharpening in Adobe After Effects. Also on my channel, you can find an alternate remaster with all of the above enhancements, but at the original pilot's framerate.
I used Robert Barbieri's amazing fan-made restoration as a starting point, but the only copy I could find of it was at 480p. I upscaled it to 4K with the AI software, which also removed additional noise/artifacts and reduced frame jitter/shake, added back detail to line work, and interpolated the frame rate.
I then brought the 4K render into Adobe After Effects and manually sharpened, slightly adjusted black/white levels, and slightly increased saturation. My results would not have been as good if I started with the older copy that came from a casette tape. So a huge shout out to Robert Barbieri! 👏🏽

this is a god awful what looks to be AI "restoration" the 60 frames is not only unnecesary as the original framerate was fine and worked way better than smooth movements but it was also done super poorly and creates alot of artifacts. same goes for the upscaling and shoddy colour work

@BUMBLEJAZZ10 Год назад

It's funny that the Peter Venkman from the pilot looks more like Bill Murray than the final version.

@TherealRNOwwfpooh Год назад

Plus, Slimer's much more antagonistic like he was in the 1984 film than he would later become as the series mascot. Also, it's odd to see them once again roast Stay Puft when he literally saved them earlier during the melee. I mean, it's not as if androgynous Gozer the Destructor is in control of the giant marshmallow brand mascot ghost anymore, so aside from being too big for his own good, why bother trapping Stay Puft in a ghost zone inside the containment unit with several evil ghosts?

Looks like someone took an earlier export of my restoration. I made adjustments before submitting my final edit to SONY for their 35th Anniversary Blu Ray steelbook set. I found the original FILM MASTER and restored it personally. Each frame was scanned at 1920x1080. I painstakingly edited and cleaned each damn frame and then color-corrected.

@elbishus Год назад

I knew this video was odd because I know you have previously worked on it and sent into Sony. I appreciate your work and your amazing GB collection. You rule, Bobby80s!!!

@jakemathew Год назад

You are a rockstar! Thank you so much for painstakingly restoring the promo. My video was just a fun experiment to see if A.I can take the restoration process even further. It did bring back some more detail (especially in environments/buildings and sharpened all of the linework) It also removed some noise/artifacts that would have taken forever to paint out manually. But thank you again for doing the heavy lifting. I did not know a 1080p version existed anywhere. The only version of your restored video I could find was in 480p.

@robertbarbieri276 Год назад

@@jakemathew thanks for updating the description. you used an earlier version of my restoration and websites like to compress and weaken the quality when uploading. i have never used the programs you did. i used photoshop to clean up each damn frame 1 by 1. then nested in premiere and color-corrected each individual scene. which can be enjoyed on the 35th anniversary blu ray set i spoke of. if you pause at random spots in your video, theres distortion/smudges like at 2:24, 1:11, 2:02 etc...... idk what tat AI did but it needs another cycle of processing. i dont mind if ppl tinker with this. it was inevitable. but thank you for updating the description to at least acknowledge where you got your starting point and if i were u i would try to rip the blu ray version. i was just getting pissy cuz apparently theres still fans out there that have no clue of my contribution and they see this thinking someone else did it all.

@GhostbustersPhone8489 8 месяцев назад

Why is Slimer attacking the Ghostbusters? From what I remember, he was a friend to them. The '84 movie had Slimer eating someone's dinner in the hallway and Ray Stantz blasts him towards Peter, who gets slimed. In the '89 movie, Slimer is caught eating Louis' lunch and then, driving a bus. I don't remember him being that evil from this Promotional extended song.

@jakemathew 8 месяцев назад

This video was a pilot that the animation studio created as a proof of concept for the look and feel for a potential ghostbusters show. This was made before the cartoon series was made. Probably a studio exec said that they wanted to make Slimer friendly in the show so they can sell toys. The look of the ghostbusters also slightly changed from this pitch video. And obviously they have colored suits in the show.

You know this concept pilot has an almost retro anime feel to it. I know most Saturday morning cartoons outsourced their animation to Korea or Japan and most intros have the best animation in their respective series. So I guess some concept pilots also have great animation.

@jakemathew Год назад

@catrionacolville2192 Год назад

Lower FPS was just a limitation of the time. 60 FPS is more realistic and higher quality, and it's not even a film. More and more films and TV shows are being shown in faster frame rates. People just need to get over their conditioning that 24 FPS = cinematic.

@kind2311 Год назад

Looks good, but something about it is a little _too_ good if that makes sense. The saturated colors and the ultra-smooth framerate make it look almost like a recreation rather than a restoration. I've been experimenting with Topaz AI and the old episodes, and what I've found is that upscaling to 4K, but keeping the original framerate while adding noise or grain, really helps to keep the picture looking like it's from the 1980s. The results can be seen on my channel.
