Employing cutting-edge technologies, Human Touch Media develops proprietary procedures and software, such as the patent-pending OZ Color system, designed for innovative colorization and 4K-quality restoration. The company also utilizes motion mask tracking for VFX, ensuring tailor-made productions and post-production services.

Through colorization, HTM breathes new life into historical images, providing an authentic historical revamp for a captivating visual experience.
As an award-winning Director of Photography once said, “Between the ‘B’ of Black and ‘W’ of White, there is a fascinating world of multiple colors”.

As a result of our cooperation between  between Lazio Region and the famed Istituto LUCE – Cinecittà, in 2021/22 HTM created in Rome a center of excellence, with the launch of the Lazio Film Lab project: two series of courses for young individuals interested in the profession of film archive restorer and colorization.

Our mission is to preserve and modernize the visual essence of archival and vintage repertoires, making them accessible for high-level film productions, broadcast, advertising and for educational and schooling.
