NICK HUBER// BFA SENIOR PROJECT

HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (1959)

FILM REMASTER

INTRO

For my senior project I decided to "remaster" House On Haunted Hill (1959) and turn it into a HD DVD product. Remastering is the process of taking film footage and cleaning it by digitally removing all the dirt and grain within each of it's film frames. My inspiration behind this project was wanting to take this public domain film and make it more accessible to modern audiences today. As the film in it's current form on Home Media is of very poor quality, due to the footage never being cleaned up. This was a very ambitious project, as not only did I have to successfully clean an hour and 34 minutes of film but create a full DVD menu and package for the product.

If you are interested in purchasing a copy of the HD DVD contact me in the email below.
