It was performed by using neural processing software Topaz Video Enhance AI and RIFE (Flowframes), which quite possibly must have been working overtime to be able to recreate the period hair on show, as well as the lavish period sets, the complexity of which would stretch any AI based processing system. The result is pretty amazing, upscaling the critically valuable footage to 4K 60p. But the footage was incredibly important because of the reference it gives us to the time period. The original version was low resolution and typically soft given the equipment and methods of the time. Such is the value of the video in question that it was possibly quite imperative that this type of work was performed on it. However someone has done just that to another video, which you can watch here. But taking footage like that and effectively reference editing it from scratch is a completely different ballgame to performing a similar feat of quality increase by upscaling the widely distributed video version. We've featured amazing remasters before, such as this one, which took the original 35mm footage from Wham's Last Christmas.
But if you imagine the kind of low resolution, interlaced footage that was prevalent in the 1980s, it's not an easy thing to upscale easily, or well.

The video world is full to the brim of old footage, and much of it would still have value if only it could be upscaled to modern standards such as 4K. Now I bet you were all thinking that the announcement of the BMPCC 6K Pro was the big story to follow, but you'd be wrong.
