Galaxy Express 999 Remastered with DaVinci Resolve Studio

PostMon Apr 11, 2022 8:28 pm

Blackmagic Design today announced that the classic Japanese animated feature "Galaxy Express 999" and its sequel "Adieu Galaxy Express 999" have been graded and remastered for HDR using DaVinci Resolve Studio editing, grading, visual effects (VFX) and audio post production software. Originally released more than 40 years ago, the films were remastered in 4K HDR for Dolby Vision by Tokyo’s Q-tec, Inc.

Both projects were also remastered as part of production company Toei Animation’s ongoing work to digitally archive and remaster its massive library of content. “Galaxy Express 999" is a hugely popular science fiction manga written by Leiji Matsumoto, which became a hit with both TV and theatrical animation versions. To also celebrate the long history of the films’ popularity, the two anime features were rereleased in Dolby Cinema theaters, providing an immersive experience for the classic story.

Remastering of the films was done by Q-tec, a post production company with a wide range of experience working on anime projects. Makoto Imatsuka, a senior colorist and manager of the Q-tec technical promotion department, who was also the supervising advisor for this project, said: “The 4K HDR grading was done with DaVinci Resolve Studio. We chose DaVinci Resolve because it has a great color management system and its operability is excellent when producing HDR images."
