Content:
"Very basically, we started on Mabuse with a very good 35mm full aperture fine grain master. Ulrich Ruedel obtained the original German title list and prepared an excellent literal translation along with notes on possible idiomatic renditions. I also had material with old English titles and with French titles and inserts. From these three sources, I wrote the all-new titles which are in the present version. I went to Paris to supervise the transfer (at 30 fps to take maximum advantage of digital vision noise reduction). We did some messing around with speeds and finally decided to slow the film tape-to-tape to 21.5 fps, quite a bit faster than it is usually shown in Europe but slower, of course, than the German reissue of the 1960s with added (then) modern music. Robert Israel worked hard on the score, which has no historical basis but which draws heavily upon German idioms of the early Weimar period. It was recorded in California over four days by Philip Calvert and edited by Shane Ledhill from over 300 separate takes. As usual, we crawled through the master transfer (now back in California) and Bret Hampton, Image's supervising video editor, diligently did his best to electronically remove or cover many signs of age and wear. I went to Virginia, where David Kalat lives, and recorded the commentary with him over a period of three days." (David Shepard)
