Steamboat Willie (1928) by Ub Iwerks, but on ZX Spectrum 128

Source: Actually made using DivIDEo, Fuse emulator (I don’t own Spectrum 128 nor DivIDE interface), hdfmonkey, fmfconv and ffmpeg. The colors are artifacts of the dithering process in DivIDEo (i.e. non-dithered version is black and white, but I found it looking worse) For some reason I had problems with timing and audio pitch, so consequent corrections were necessary. It’s surprisingly hard to process Spectrum video - every subsequent editor by default makes the edges fuzzy (in this case ffmpeg and Davinci Resolve). Appropriate ffmpeg commands include palette export and using it for re-encoding. See Śniedź’s live song on ZX Spectrum: Thanks to all the developers. - Baskak
