MOTION PICTURE FILM RESTORATION:

Robert A. Harris: http://www.thedigitalbits.com/articles/robertharris/index.html
For years, I've wanted to endorse the aesthetic of Robert A. Harris who has restored the motion pictures: Lawrence of Arabia, Spartacus, My Fair Lady, Vertigo, Rear Window, The Godfather and The Godfather Part II. Bob's visual sense is light years ahead of anyone else working in motion picture film restoration. There's a consistent quality to his work that is both faithful to the artists original intent and visually engaging at the same time. While Harris has nothing to do with the animation industry per se, I did want to acknowledge his work as being in a league of its own. I could not locate a web site for Bob, but did find the link above which contains some of his writings.
