This 1975 Plymouth promotional film, titled " 1975 Plymouth Gran Fury ", was sent to Plymouth car dealerships to be used as an in-house Sales personal training film. Sales Personnel were to show the film to potential buyers prior to the test drive. The film highlights technical aspects and features of the new model year.
This film came from my personal collection. This film was not downloaded from any website and is not reused content. This restoration is my work. The restoration process started with removing the super8 film from the Kodak Model B Movie Film Cartridge. The film came printed on magnetic sound Eastman film stock. After removal the film was cleaned, repaired, and spooled onto a standard film reel. Next the scanning to digital process was performed on the Lasergraphics Scanstation motion picture film scanner in 2k resolution. Excess film grain noise was removed, and extensive color restoration performed using 3 separate processes in DaVinci Resolve software. An additional processing for dust and scratch removal was performed utilizing NeatVideo. Then the film was upscaled into 4K resolution utilizing Topaz AI software. In 4K, the images were sharpened, and additional detail correction was performed. Then a final color restoration and image stabilization process was performed in DaVinci Resolve. Finally, the film was downscaled back to 2k for uploading to YouTube. As I work on these films, I try to improve the process as I go along. Note the audio track was altered due to copywrite content. Thanks for watching.
