When the first set of Warner's classic cartoon shorts
was released, there didn't seem (and I say SEEM, so don't take that
for granted) to be more than a few nasty instances of DVNR going
wrong. Sadly, not as much care has been taken with the second outing.
I'm sure this guy is a resembelance of a celebrity, but I'm too young
to know exactly who. Notice that the parts of the image that move the most - in this
case, his legs and feet - are being eaten away. The picture on the
right, where the camera is moving upwards, shows that the lines are being worn thin.
In this shot, the ends of his gloves are being swapped for the colour of the surrounding book cover. I can only imagine that DVNR is seeing a large area of white and assuming it's gunk on the print.
In this example, the more stationary image looks mostly intact, but upon closer inspection, we can again see DVNR's handiwork. As
in the above example, the camera moving destroys the line structure.
Not much left of the moving parts here.
No arrows are needed - just look at the hands and feet
in both examples. The system is mistaking the outlines for film damage
and is attempting to repair what it thinks is a problem
by using the colour information of surrounding areas.
I can only assume that the outlines on the soldiers in the background were thinner than usual, because in this instance, NONE of them are left - you'd almost think that they were drawn without any outlines
at all. Take a look at the sword at the top of the screen - it seems to have been made blunt and merged in with the black background.
This one really takes the cake. The outline on the right of the book has been deemed so
beautiful by the computer, that it is now included twice! The black
area around the text "HURRICANE" on the book is beginning
to break and flow into the text - sort of similar to what you get
when you take a page printed on an inkjet printer and cover it in
water. The man's trousers, beard and arms are being mangled into the background.
Most noticeably of all, his facial features have even been MISPLACED! Yikes!
