"In the 80s, the source, and chosen format for the short film was 35mm film. The quality of 35mm is very high (4K-6K, in terms of resolving power). In the process of taking the finished film and transferring it to NTSC video for broadcast, a great amount of quality was lost in the process—back then, and until only recently (2006, when Blu-rays were made available to consumers) or so, this was the best quality outside of watching a 35mm film print.

Now, we are able to scan that original, 35mm film negative (the film which ran through the camera) and scan it at 4K or 6K. So, no, the low definition is not a result of time degradation. Luckily, the 35mm negative seemed to be well preserved."

Bro, seeing young Mike in hi-def is kinda weird...I cant even lie. My brain is accustomed to seeing him blurry....I can see the texture in his facial hair and shyt

I dunno how to feel about this

They dead ass need to do this with ALL of his videos.

Mike’s videos need to be seen in its HIGHEST quality possible.

They released this in 3D in limited theaters a few years ago and I was fortunate to watch it and it had me like.

Watching that video in 4K is nuts, it’s so damn clear it looks like they filmed it a few weeks ago

You can see Mike face lightened up from the makeup he was using to cover up the lupus rashes and vitiligo its so crisp.

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

They made his skin too light in the 4k version. He was getting there but he wasn't that light skinned in the Thriller era.
