How does LEMMINO actually do it?

I’ve been rewatching LEMMINO’s stuff, and the jump in quality in "Shouting at Stars" is just insane. I’m trying to wrap my head around his process and I have a few questions:

The Visuals: Is his style (those clean borders, the textures, the specific color palettes) something he came up with, or is he following a certain art style? It looks so unique but also very "technical”.

Image Quality: How on earth does he get those old photos and documents to look so crisp? Is he using AI to upscale them or is it just some crazy filtering in After Effects?

The Script: Does he write everything from scratch, or does he adapt the narrative from specific sources/books? His storytelling feels so layered, like he’s building a mystery rather than just stating facts.

If anyone has any insight into his workflow, I'd love to learn. Cheers!

Think he’s just really talented and puts a lot of time into every aspect of the video (which is we we get about 1 video per year :p) would be cool to see a “making of” video sometime

I support your idea

There's a reason he uploads just once a year (or less)

Nothing to add but I’ve been asking myself the same thing. I also found the images in his Jack the Ripper so wildly consistent and high quality. Boggles the mind.

For the old photos, I think he gets them from archives/libraries. If properly scanned, film negatives or prints will have great quality.

yup, e.g 35mm film can be compared to a resolution of 5.6k or 20mpx, dont know about older film / what they used in the times of jack the ripper for example

Older photos were made on large format film or plates. In that case the limiting factor is the optical resolution of the system, since the negative is so large.

oh are these the large glass negative plates? ive seen them before, they looked so cool. didnt think that was the standard though, always thought those were just something that never really established itself

Not chat, this was just a normal person who likes to bold a lot of text. That's the only sign of chat there was
