“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 the film was transferred 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. Thomas Manchon even interviewed the director Gerry Harrison and talked with sound engineer John Burns to get some background information on how the film was made. They 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. 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 colour 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”.
