![]() Every scanned frame of the movie was treated as a separate photo. Working on such specialist equipment - the first of its kind in Poland and one of three in the world - makes us feel like pioneers in the modern technology of digitalising damaged movie tapes. The method involves covering the tape with immersive liquid, which spreads across both sides, reducing light refraction at the meeting point of the liquid and the (emulsion) surface of the scanner as the tape is moved through the machine, which makes tiny imperfections invisible. Then we test whether the tape is suitable for "wet scanning". We usually begin by "dry scanning" the tape, avoiding any damage to its delicate structure. In general, there are two ways of scanning film tapes: "dry" and "wet". Then the tape was divided into segments and scanned with a specialist scanner designed specifically for old movie tapes. We mechanically removed all dirt from the tape. Before it could be scanned, we conducted a manual reconstruction - we disconnected all the connections where possible, we also restored the perforations. ![]() ![]() ![]() The first stage of reconstruction consisted in restoring the tape.
