Cineric
Restoration and Preservation

 

 

 Cineric is the industry's leading film restoration and preservation facility. We implement both traditional photochemical techniques and the latest digital technology in our efforts to restore and preserve moving images. At Cineric technical innovation and quality craftsmanship go hand in hand.

 We have recently competed the full 4K Digital restorations of “Dr Strangelove”, “Carousel”, “The Gangs All Here” and "Bottom of the Bottle", with many more titles in the works. Our digital facility is expanding, with two Discreet Lustre suites for up to 4K file color correction and dye fading correction. We can then output the files on our Arri Laser film recorder to color intermediate stock or separation masters.  This system can also provide a down-converted HD version of your show for video mastering. We have also added 5 DaVinci Revival stations for correcting flicker, scratches and registration problems and cleaning up dirt, as well as a data center to accommodate up to 380 terabytes of files .

 Our photochemical restoration department is still going strong making separation masters, developing printing equipment to deal with unusual formats and utilizing our adjustable wetgate optical printers to pin register the most shrunken film. These gates also fit on our Oxberry scanner, which means we can scan all of the formats we can handle optically to 4K files, using a liquid gate. These formats include regular 8, S8mm, 16mm, S16, Techniscope, 3-perf, 35mm, VistaVision, and 65mm 5-perf. Our recent restoration of the 55mm 8perf original camera negative of "The King and I” employed both analog and digital tools.
