"Official Video, Full HD, Remastered"

Now, I'm old enough to remember when "remastered" meant "we re-scanned the 35mm negative". Let's take a look at the upper left quadrant of the first 15 seconds of that video at half speed. On the left: a 702x576 rip I made of the video in 2003 from the SD DVD release, Directors Series Volume 3: The Work of Michel Gondry; on the right, the 1392x1062 "Official Full HD Remaster"...

@jwz so many of these official “remasters” are the equivalent of fan made special editions/edits.

Edit: this was an overly broad statement. I was talking about dorks running stuff through upscalers and AI models. It’s a genre of YouTube video.
