The Shepperton Studios 16mm film we originally bought 20 years ago at an estate sale auction, and the first SD transfer paid for by a small group of fans at the Meeksgenesis forum... This transfer was then used by the band for the official boxed sets. It has now been 10 years since the last time I transferred the film in HD and 50 years since Genesis were on the stage performing. There is a lot of new technology, faster computers, larger/cheaper storage, etc. So I thought I would take what I learned since then and take one last (yes last) look at this film. I was not sure this would even be worth the money and effort, as I am never interested to release things that don't look/sound as good as they can or show a reasonable improvement. I would rather wait until there is the time and technology to make something great, rather than yet another half-baked version. Thomas Manchon even interviewed the director Gerry Harrison and I talked with sound engineer John Burns to get some background information on how the film was made. I rescanned the reels (both audio and video) and started the project from scratch to see where this could lead. Not only do 4K scanners make more resolution available, but the audio scanning technology has been greatly improved. I then used all my tools and techniques to restore this film to its full glory, much as we did the Bataclan and other films. This even involved cleaning thousands of frames by hand and correcting color shot by shot. The amount of work was immense, so we hope it was all worthwhile in the end. To my eyes the results are cleaner and clearer, with smoother motion, much better detail from the dark areas as well as the spotlights, more balanced color and brightness throughout especially the effects of the ultraviolet, and much improved audio AI remixed by TM. Since this is the first time I scanned the film in 10 years, and the first time anyone has done this kind of detail work on it, I see it as the only true “remaster“. In some ways I have become weary from working on this film for so long, and in other ways I am glad the film has finally received the attention it deserved. Here is a before/after restoration sample: The Genesis Museum in association with TM Productions and Thomas Manchon, proudly present: The Shepperton 50th Anniversary Remaster For more information and background on this project: If you have 8mm/16mm Genesis or Peter Gabriel films, we transfer and restore them for free!
