“Yi-Chen made it clear early on that she was eager to master the intricate work of remastering. For example, a famous American singer asked that we fully remaster a hit single of hers from the mid-90's, and it was an excellent opportunity to allow Yi-Chen to see our editing process. Within minutes of my explaining the details of our process to her, she was already deep into doing the hands-on artistic work herself, with me as a guide. Flawlessly she cleaned and restored every single frame of the project. While the completed video was rendering, she immediately jumped into the audio remastering. By day’s end, the entire project was completed and processing in our database thanks to Yi-Chen's wit and multi-media artistic fluency.—Ian Clarke is a Composer and Audio/Video QC Specialist and AI Expert at Craigman Digital, Inc.”
