Thanks for all your advice guys. Its really pretty much as I had thought.

I had suggested that the sepia be converted to black and white and mixed with (perhaps) some colour stills for an interesting montage.

I was just hoping against hope that someone had come across a miracle cure I hadn't heard of.

Quelle Dommage!
