SYDNEY, Sept 7 — Century-old footage of the last known Tasmanian tiger in captivity has been brought to life by colourisation, offering a tantalising glimpse of the now-extinct creature.
Fewer than a dozen snippets of footage — totalling about three minutes of silent, black-and-white film — are known to have survived of the elusive beast. The government agency handed the footage to Paris-based Samuel Francois-Steininger, of Composite Films, who completed the painstaking colourisation process over 200 hours.
“And because of the resolution and quality of the picture, there were a lot of details — the fur was dense and a lot of hair had to be detailed and animated,” he added.
