Case: Over 2.200 working hours, 117.000 frames and 1.287.000 brush strokes

That was the resources used for restoring the Carl Th Dreyer classic from 1925 Du skal Ære Din Hustru (Master of the House).

Palladium A/S has just released a box set with four Carl Th Dreyer classics. Minerva Film undertook the task of cleaning the most heavily damaged film in the collection Du skal Ære Din Hustru (Master of the House).

After an initial automatic removal of dust and scratches the Minerva crew went through the whole film frame by frame removing all the leftover dust, bad splices and large scratches that the automation was not able to remove, using semi automatic motion estimated paint tools. The automation and advanced paint tools in our Phoenix restoration tool proved its worth by giving a result beyond the expectations of the client.
