My internship at Cineric consisted of shadowing the restoration work done day-to-day on-site. Specific tasks performed at the internship were mainly in shadowing the work done at Cineric, including film layout, scanning, color grading, and restoration. I was present for specific projects performed, including building a NAS system, machining parts for different scanners, and performing quality control work as needed.

It was especially interesting to learn about how scanning works since the scanners were built using old wet-gate optical printers, where a digital industrial camera was attached to capture directly to digital. I was able to also see the work that goes into machining parts for other purpose-built scanners. This internship provided such a wide range of unique experiences, and I am very fortunate to have been given the opportunity to work with Simon Lund and everyone at Cineric in learning about the incredible work they do.
