MiniDV footage from year 2000, upscaled to full HD and de-interlaced with Topaz Video AI

Produced this video in the year 2000 for my music project. A-roll was shot on a Sony PD150 and the hand held b-roll was on a Sony VX2000. I built a custom steady-cam mount for the moonroof of my car for the PD150 and drove around Chicago for a couple hours.

The original footage was imported with Media 100 back in 2000 and wasn’t properly de-interlalced. Lucky that Topaz Video AI had a model just for that. What a difference it made!
