Kino’s set is a mixed bag. Some movies look great. Others are restored to death. I’ll be focusing on the latter. I give lots of examples, but this post is by no means comprehensive.

Mixed Pets (1911)

Editing error:

Frozen, splotchy, misaligned cloning. Terrible in every way:

Some shots are untouched, but frozen cloning is pervasive:

Intertitles look super fake, but this one has an erroneous line peeking through:

Greater Love Hath No Man (1911)

Microloop:

The final shot got the works with continuous frozen cloning and smeary retouching:

Canned Harmony (1912)

Editing/pulldown error:

A House Divided (1913)

Continuous frozen cloning:

Processed by Library of Congress and Dayton Digital Filmworks

Matrimony’s Speed Limit (1913)

Editing error:

The Ocean Waif (1916)

The worst restoration of the set, the others aren’t even close.

Most splices now have screen tearing.

Basic mismatched frozen cloning:

Huge frozen cloning:

Might as well be a freeze frame:

Extended frozen cloning:

No attempt to align cloned area:
