The Odyssey2 DVDThe Odyssey2 DVD is a direct-to-DVD compilation of archival clips and historical footage related to the groundbreaking (but these days rather obscure) Odyssey2 home video game console, marketed internationally in the late 1970s and early 1980s. I did not author the DVD, but instead restored and remastered nearly all of the assets used on it; in some cases, the footage was in very poor shape, requiring many hours of work to bring it up to the level of merely being viewable, let alone at an audiovisual quality that most consumers expect from a DVD. Footage included classic commercials, internal sales tapes from Magnavox and Philips, rare footage, and even a full-length video recording of an employees’-eyes-only performance by the Second City comedy troupe from 1983. The assets required color correction, contrast and brightness enhancement, and numerous audio fixes ranging from minor (sound level adjustments) to major-league enhancement and restoration. At the client’s request I also composed music, complete with Order the Odyssey2 DVDsound samples from the Odyssey2′s infamously primitive voice synthesizer, to be used on the disc’s menus (the client handled DVD authoring for themselves in this case). The Odyssey2 DVD is still available from Packrat Video Games.
