| Research Abstract |
I accomplished several researches of nitrate materials and improved technical aspects of long-term film preservation. Using the near-infrared spectroscopy machine, it is found out that I can easily distinguish the material of each film base (nitrate or acetate) in an instance. Concerning the preservation and restoration of nitrate films, both new experiments of analog and digital restoration has been executed. On Analog theme, I was able to test the restoration of tinting and toning by traditional way.
