Footage clean up..

I wish I was that awesome. :[

Stupid question, but is it even possible to become that awesome?

I don't think with even the most sophisticated set of filters in AviSynth can someone produce output like the "after" shot from the "before" shot.

That may be true


...but you can get close.

Well yeah, that's what his next sentence said.

What script did you use for that? Here's the result I got. Unfortunately the script is currently not available, as my external drive is acting up. There was a hell of a lot of warping and mftooning involved, and I tweaked the u and v channels as well.

The fine lines in the picture aren't as distinct as the "after" pic in the first post. But the main problem is that Sailor Moon's face, left side (our right) is not a smooth curve anymore. Especially where the light rays and her hair intersect. These new pics are close, but not that close.
