After seeing how he restored grainy b&w World War 1 footage into colorized HD 60fps footage in his "They Shall Not Grow Old" documentary, I knew the Beatles footage was in great hands.

I saw that in the theater, and it was pretty awesome.

I was watching a video about this yesterday, and it showed Peter Jackson talking about how the video restoration was easy at this point. But what he said was the new audio technology they have now is incredible and allowed them to basically separate anything they wanted to. So the tech can recognize John or Paul's voice, and then filter out ALL background noise to where you can just hear the voices. He said that what they (especially John) would do was strum guitars and create noise and feedback so that the cameras (shooting LIB) couldn't pick up on what they were saying. And this tech basically allows them to strip away and eliminate all other sounds and noises and focus solely on the voices, so now we can hear conversations that the Beatles thought would never be heard. That was incredible to me.

Here is the clip I'm talking about, and I've timestamped it to the part where PJ talks about the audio: LINK. Pretty cool watch if you have a few minutes.

Also, I'll echo the love for McCartney 321. That was a really cool series, and I hope they do more of those.
