Looking for talented upscaler for commision work!

[focus187]

Hello! Im looking for someone who would be willing to upscale (or give me a great script and walk me through) some Dragon Ball GT footage. I want to convert to attain a quality on par with this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh9YQlkDz9A

Total footage I want converted is around 3 - 4 hours. I'd be willing to pyy around $50 (paaypal) if anyone is up for it!

Thanks

If by 'script' you mean AviSynth scripts, then just use nnedi3_rpow2 to your final resolution, maybe something like:

nnedi3_rpow2(rfactor=2,cshift="lanczosresize",fwid th=1280,fheight=720)

or whatever resizer you like. I, for one, wouldn't find $50 the least bit tempting for tying up my computer for doing all that work, even if creating the scripts was a breeze. Then you'd see the results and complain it wasn't oversaturated like the YouTube version, and complain about a ton of other things. The framerate is incorrect, the black levels crushed and the whites blown out. That video shouldn't be used as a model for anything at all except for bad filtering and encoding.

Yea I understand what you mean about the oversaturation. I am more refering to the lack of noise, sharpness of edges, and the deep blacks. I have tried messing with AVIsynth but I cant get the hang of it. Is there anywhere you can point me for a good tutorial or could you possibly show me a script I could copy and paste into AVIsynth for a starting block

Please post a sample from your source - 10 seconds with steady movement will be plenty. Then someone can have a look and make suggestions.

With animation I usually try to do the upscaling stepwise with a little sharpening in between and after.

nnedi3_rpow2(2, cshift="Spline36Resize", fwidth=960, fheight=720)
aWarpSharp(depth=5)
Sharpen(0.2)
nnedi3_rpow2(2, cshift="Spline36Resize", fwidth=1440, fheight=1080)
aWarpSharp(depth=5)
Sharpen(0.2)

The exact amount of sharpening will vary depending on how sharp the source video is. And since one is usually starting with over-compressed video (youtube? dvd?) there's usually a lot of cleanup that must be done before you get to this point. And you normally want to convert from rec.601 to rec.709 colors with ColorMatrix(mode="rec.601->rec.709").
