MOTION PICTURE FILM RESTORATION

Robert A. Harris: http://www.thedigitalbits.com/site_archive/articles/robertharris/index.html

Robert A. Harris who has restored the motion pictures: Lawrence of Arabia, Spartacus, My Fair Lady, Vertigo, Rear Window, The Godfather and The Godfather Part II.

Bob's visual sense is light years ahead of anyone else working in motion picture film restoration. There's a consistent quality to his work that is both faithful to the artist's original intent and visually engaging at the same time. While Harris has nothing to do with related links for animation art per se, I did want to acknowledge his work. I could not locate a website for Bob, but did find the link above which contains some of his writings.
