I just did the color transfer from sd to hd (he missed that) and corrected the aspect ratio, also added a pinch of grain with geq filter:

geq=lum='p(X,Y)+((random(1)+random(1)+random(1)+random(1)-2)*2)*(gt(p(X,Y),44))':cb='p(X,Y)':cr='p(X,Y)'

This FFmpeg filter adds simulated film grain or monochrome noise exclusively to the brighter areas of the video while leaving the dark areas and colors untouched.
Here is the exact breakdown of how this geq (generic expression) filter works piece by piece:
1. Color Channel Routing

cb='p(X,Y)' and cr='p(X,Y)': These control the chroma (color) channels. By setting them to their current pixel values p(X,Y), the filter leaves the video colors completely unchanged.

lum=...: This applies the expression only to the luma (brightness/greyscale) channel.

2. The Noise Generation math
Inside the lum expression, the core noise engine is this mathematical cluster:
((random(1)+random(1)+random(1)+random(1)-2)*2)

The Central Limit Theorem at work: A single random(1) creates harsh, completely uniform white noise. By adding four random numbers together and subtracting 2, the filter generates a Gaussian (bell-curve) distribution. This creates a much softer, more natural-looking noise that closely mimics organic film grain rather than digital static.

The Multiplier (*2): This scales the intensity of the noise, making the grain visible enough to notice.

3. The Brightness Threshold (The gt function)
The final part of the expression restricts where the noise is allowed to appear:
*(gt(p(X,Y),44))

gt(p(X,Y), 44): This checks if the current pixel's brightness is greater than 44 (on a standard 0–255 scale).

The Logic: If the pixel is dark (brightness \(\le \) 44), the expression evaluates to 0. Multiplying the noise by 0 completely cancels it out. If the pixel is bright (brightness \(>\) 44), it evaluates to 1, allowing the noise to be added to the original pixel value p(X,Y).

Summary of Effect
When you run this filter, your shadows and dark backgrounds will remain perfectly clean, while your midtones and highlights will take on a textured, cinematic grain.

I've also muxed the PCM audio track from the sd source and a EN sub.
