The legendary story of Led Zeppelin is coming to IMAX like never before, and UV&S is proud to have played a role in bringing this historic film to life. Becoming Led Zeppelin, the highly anticipated documentary featuring never-before-seen footage of one of rock’s most iconic bands, is now hitting the big screen. Behind the scenes, our team at R3Store Studios, dedicated nearly five years to digitizing archival footage to ensure it could be experienced in stunning 4K IMAX quality.
The Art of Restoration: How R3Store Studios Brought Led Zeppelin’s Story to Life
Led by Jo Griffin, Digital and Restoration Director for R3Store Studios in London, the team worked closely with Director Bernard MacMahon, Producer Allison McGourty, and Archive Producer Kate Griffiths to transform decades-old footage into a seamless cinematic experience. The process involved transferring countless hours of archival material, ensuring each clip retained its authenticity while meeting the high standards of modern IMAX presentation. As McGourty shared, “We spent five years flying back and forth across the Atlantic, scouring attics and basements in pursuit of rare and unseen film footage, photographs, and music recordings. Then we transferred each piece of media with custom techniques so that, in IMAX, these 55-year-old clips and music would look and sound like they came out of the lab yesterday.” **
