Super 8

Filmed by John Witmer, who I somehow convinced to lend me his original film. A HUGE thanks for filming parts of the show and having faith in this outcome... almost 30 years later!

Video Lineage: Super 8mm footage with sound (18 fps) > HD transfer (1920 x 1080 / overscanned / 18fps ) > color corrected and stablized in After Effects (no compression / 18fps) > NTSC Widescreen (Standard Definition / CBR 8 / 29.97fps)

The Super 8mm footage was transferred by Pixcel (https://www.pixcel.com) and saved as an uncompressed Quicktime (1920 x 1080) at its native speed (18fps). I color corrected and stablized the image in After Effects and then edited the project using Vegas Pro 11. The audio (with the exception of Murder, was sourced from the Westwood One transcription LPs. There wasn't any pro-recorded audio for "Murder" so MOB did the best he could with this song which is featured as bonus material separate from the main video.

Audio Lineage: Original Westwood One Radio Network LP's
Gear: VPI Scoutmaster turntable > Dynavector 20XL cart > Sutherland Ph3D phono preamp > passive preamp > M-audio FIrewire Audiophile

LP recorded at 24/96 to preserve the full fidelity of the vinyl LP's.

Audio Remastering by MOB
Details:
- manual removal of some vinyl clicks
- removal of the low frequency hum (from the turntable probably)
- attenuation of the 16kHz band
- careful EQ to reduce some harshness and have a fuller and warmer sound
- adjustment of levels

Special thanks to Lars, Tim H, Jon R, Robert M, Dr Forrester, Posty, John J, Gonzo, and espesically A_L!

Enjoy!
