Star Wars Movie Poster Restored

In this video, we share the linen backing and restoration processes being performed on a "Star Wars" British Quad movie poster. This poster was done for a UK Client "Vintage and Modern Movie Art" who will be opening shop soon!
The Poster:
The British quad poster for the 1977 film "Star Wars," designed by Tom Chantrell, is an iconic piece of cinematic art renowned for its dynamic composition and vibrant color palette. Chantrell's poster captures the essence of the film's adventurous spirit, featuring dramatic depictions of Luke, Leia, and Darth Vader, set against a backdrop of space battles and starships. The artwork's vivid and detailed style contributed to the film's allure, helping to attract audiences with its promise of epic adventure and intergalactic intrigue. This poster has since become a treasured collector's item and a symbol of the film's enduring legacy.

I clicked on the video expecting one of those fake restoration videos that have been so popular lately, but instead found a work of art. This is truly beautiful!

[@FourthConeRestoration]

Glad you enjoyed it 🥰

[@TylerMann7148]

As a poster and art print collector, as well as being an artist myself, I absolutely loved watching this process. The meeting of science, art, and craftsmanship is awesome. Subscribed!

[@FourthConeRestoration]

Glad you enjoyed it 🥰

[@RighteousWeevil]

Not gonna lie, when i clicked the video i thought it was just gonna be some random amateur youtube filling in a worn down poster with a colored pencil. Wasnt expecting this professional restoration demonstration.

[@FourthConeRestoration]

🥰

[@hannoversa]

Glad you didn't lie

[@rhinosaurus1496]

I have some experience with the colored-pencil method of filling in crease lines from when I was a custom framer, and I must say the layering of colors in the 3:40 segment was magnificent.

[@HughSterbakov]

I don’t understand. In my 50 years of life, every time I’ve put water on paper, it has warped and melted and died. What in the world is happening here? This is like fire freezing something.

[@Shiftarus]

Thank god i'm not the only one who is completely baffled

[@davidwintman6869]

@@Shiftarus there’s at least three of us… Because I’m flummoxed

[@startedtech]

I suppose since it has that plastic sheet giving it structure, and then squeegeed/ mounted taut to the canvas so wrinkling wouldn't be a possibility. Id also assume they go about it on a case by case basis, like if they were dealing with something using water soluble ink.

[@gigaherz_]

you can wet a paper so long as it's on a flat even surface that supports its shape. in order for it to dry flat you then have to weigh it down (or glue it I suppose?). paper warps when you let it dry without support because the fibers spread out unevenly. not an expert though.

The force is with her, always…

all that work for such a short glamor shot. gotta give us at least a full minute to revel in the end result

Watching that close up colored pencil work is so thrilling for some reason.

Excellent work! Can you restore the rest of the franchise next?

[@pindebraende]

Just yesterday i was randomly wondering if anyone was out there restoring works of art on paper. Now I know it exists for prints!

[@bramweinreder2346]

A true understanding of colours and materials, and a genuine joy to watch.

[@ProkoTV]

Love seeing this process in action. Thanks for sharing these videos!

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

Damn right you showed off that laser pencilling. Those colors are so hard to do. This was an amazing watch.

[@FourthConeRestoration]

🥰

[@FierceMods]

If only you could've gotten to the Halo 3 poster in Colorado before they recently took it down. Super cool work !

[@21stcenturymouse42]

Seeing so much love being put into the restoration of one of my favourite posters made me very happy, and as an artist myself I could really appreciate the battle with the pinks and other colours in that laser beam to get it to blend. Awesome work, now subscribing! 👏👏👏💯

[@FourthConeRestoration]

[@DjBolt11]

I gasp when I saw water being added, to clean it, not gonna lie, considering what water does to paper but this was sooooo well done. I love this

[@FourthConeRestoration]

[@derbobby]

Thanks yt algorithm ❤ liked & subbed. Especially loved the pacing of it, no rushing through with fast cuts for the pencils part.

[@FourthConeRestoration]

Thank you 🥰

[@rosebuddesign635]

This is one of the most beautiful movie poster ever. You did an amazing job.

[@FourthConeRestoration]

Thank you 😊

For that kind of videos it's worth to watch youtube. Something peacefull, entertaining but also educative.

[@manamedia]

Seriously fascinating process! Thank you for producing this video.

[@FourthConeRestoration]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jayanthonyolson]

This is so cool and satisfying. Doesn't soaking the poster like that make it really easy to accidentally tear?

[@imperialpresence1173]

thats where the mylar sheet comes in to hold everything in place..once the paper dries it will be strong and the mylar will peel right off...i did this to a few old maps....the mylar is key.

[@ssagaji515]

Wow…People with amazing skills always amazes me, Amazing!

Better than my attempts as a kid, just using a black Sharpie!

[@AAOFigures]

Extraordinary work! Just hopping you are appreciated by clients for such a detailed work!

[@OYME13]

Amazing work. Had no idea this was even possible for paper. Thought it at least needed to be on canvas.

[@brandonhartwich6797]

I have an old iron maiden tour poster that was hanging on the ceiling of my old garage from the previous owner. That thing could really use some love and care like this.

[@donivanpotter2762]

That turned out beautiful.

When I think restoration I imagine something brought back to the quality when acquired.... but this has been restored to when it was just printed! Amazing.

[@tonykastaneda1]

lots of weird back handed compliments in the comments. Amateur or not it doesn't matter this is a work of art

[@dashinvaine]

Attach of the crayons... Great job. I was a bit worried at the start with the water and bleach treatments on a paper poster...

[@jaycemcdougan3896]

It's just like digital restoration in photoshop but in real life. So cool. I bet this is immensely satisfying work.

[@R3troZone]

Amazing. I wish I had some old posters to send you.

I like seeing posters looking aged and used .. it adds character .

Rian Johnson should watch this, to understand how cherished and valuable Star Wars is for some.

I love watching you guys' work & the outcome is always awesome! George The GlassMan

[@FourthConeRestoration]

Thank you 😊

[@tombstoneranch69]

I just wish you could clean disney out of star wars with this technique.

[@Ace_of_Horns]

That was an incredible process and technique. But I could swear the color looks ever so slightly faded on the AFTER photo.

[@MetalPause]

I do like that the creases are removed, but prefer the tri-fold lines remain unpainted. I don't know. It gives a bit more charm and helps it to retain its authenticity. Masterful work but that is just my opinion.

[@alancheatley4378]

I have Japanese posters and i only have one Belgian, they are really fragile paper because they are so thin, all are 80s posters 😊 Taking the Belgian one which is Scanners to Comic con to be signed by Michael Ironside, have to keep it clipped to the frame back

[@Blueskybuffalo]

Pretty cool work. I have your next project! It’s an X-Men animated series poster I got from Pizza Hut in the 4th grade. I can’t bring myself to trash it. 😆

[@SolarMechanic]

I think it might be worth mentioning in future videos, for the benefits of idiots like me, that the posters are mounted on Linen Paper. I was of the impression that linen was exclusively cloth, so I was confused when you mentioned mounting the poster onto paper, but then called it linen later on. I had to google to find out you can get linen based paper.

[@FourthConeRestoration]

We are working on a video explaining linen backing and it's benefits! For our process specifically, we mount an acid-free barrier paper onto the linen before mounting the poster. Hope that clears it up a little!

[@trunks10k]

crazy u guys have a full process of persevering the paper. wonder who thought of that

[@tell_us_another_one]

The 1 dislike must be a Disney exec.

[@FourthConeRestoration]

😂

[@matheusdiniz1531]

Mesmerizing work! It got me thinking, what if the poster is printed on both sides? How different is the process?

[@FourthConeRestoration]

Depends entirely on what the client wants done! We do have other processes to flatten the paper without covering the back as well 😊

[@nikonshooter71]

❤

[@Paper_and_Light]

Beautiful work as always! I love the UK Quad format, that wide horizontal frame always feels epic. What is the largest size that you're able to restore? 3-sheets? 6-sheets?

[@darrenstrange2244]

Wow what an amazing job! Lovely video too. Can you do this if the poster has been signed or will the ink from the signatures bleed?

[@FourthConeRestoration]

Yes, we work with signed posters all of the time! We test each signature and adjust our process accordingly 😊

[@jozz2]

Pretty work. MTFBWY

[@dermathze700]

If you're using water based paints for restoration, does that mean those colors will wash out if you ever had to restore it again?

[@sycamorematt]

I've been watching fine arts restoration and conservation on the Baumgartner Restoration channel for years and I'm surprised that you'd use something like paints and colored pencils. I would have thought you'd want something reversible. Hosing it down with water was also surprising but I don't know how durable this poster paper is and it seems like you got a favorable result.

[@FourthConeRestoration]

All of our restoration techniques are reversible 😊

[@TonyBullard]

​@@FourthConeRestoration I'd love to hear more about how it is reversible!

[@briangmurray6367]

Your work is awesome. Your restorer's attention to detail is phenomenal.

[@angelbarrios426]

Hey, it turns out this wasn't a clickbait at all! 😱.

[@JoshLange3D]

How the heck does the paper not disintegrate under all that water and squeegeeing? Shocked

[@benhur1834]

I love your guys work, I follow you on Instagram as well, I was wondering do you guys fix holes cause my bugs. I have a poster that was hanging on the wall, I noticed a little holes and some of the edge has been chewed away by some kind of insect. Do you guys replace paper logs like that?

[@FourthConeRestoration]

We repair bug damage all of the time! If you send us an email with photos we can get you a quote 😊

[@leowatley]

you do incredible work. just out of curiosity, how much would you chare for a job like this?

[@FictionalPersonality]

If you do it, it is called alteration. But if you pay $2k to get it done. It is restoration and adds more value
