2023 has been very busy so far.
\nWe traveled to Tokyo Japan where we met with media studios that use the same film restoration software.
\nWe met with team members from Photron, iMagica, Qooop, YokoCine and TOEI\/Toho.\u00a0 It was great to see how these studios in Japan
\nuse the software and the different techniques in restoring film.\u00a0 Opaque Media has adopted a few of these into our own workflows.<\/p>\n

Next, due to a renewed interest in the comic novel\/mini-series DECAY, we have restocked the Amazon store.
\nCopies are available once again here:\u00a0 DECAY Series on Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n

And lastly we just completed a restoration project. Cleaning up 50 minutes of a 90 minute feature in a joint effort
\nwith Reel Revival the will be release on Blu-Ray and DVD soon. We will share all the details when they become available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
