JCA Remasters Peter Gabriel Secret World Live

News Image
JCA, the London-based digital specialist, has announced that it has remastered Peter Gabriel: Secret World Live in HD for Eagle Rock Entertainment, the producer and distributor of music programing for DVD, Blu-Ray, TV and digital media, and Real World.
York Tillyer, director of visual media at Peter Gabriel’s Real World, commented: “We wanted to bring Secret World Live up to the highest visual standards. Working with JCA enabled us to rebuild the film from the analogue source, not just significantly enhancing the image quality but revealing the full frame of the super 16 negative to best display the scope of this cinematic production.”
Matt Bowman, commercial director at JCA, added: “The number of digital restoration commissions we are seeing is increasing sharply, with content owners keen to bring their libraries digitally up-to-date, maximising the assets they already possess. Classic footage, such as Peter Gabriel: Secret World Live, can be remastered for digital distribution and consumption in true High Definition. Improvements in film scanning and digital restoration techniques have effectively unlocked the commercial route to market, making vast amounts of film ideal for servicing and just waiting to be exploited by content owners and enjoyed by viewers.”
Real World delivered the original 16mm negatives, which were shot across 12 cameras and two concerts. Using these, JCA created offline copies to conform the programme. Then an edit decision list (EDL) was created in Final Cut Pro (FCP). Next, a super 2k scan was performed on the required shots. The content was then restored and given grain treatments to sharpen the image. Once restored, our award-winning colourist, Ray King, graded the data (DPX) file sequence in line with Eagle Rock Entertainment and Real World’s specifications.
Peter Gabriel: Secret World Live Tour is the Grammy Award winning film from 1994. It was shot in Modena, Italy across two nights in November 1993 as part of Peter Gabriel's acclaimed "Secret World Live" tour in support of the "Us" album.
The remastered version of Peter Gabriel: Secret World Live will be released on 16 July 2012.
