完全不懂福建话的尚卡尔说："其实听不懂没关系，更重要的是修复音频的过程要非常有耐心。影像和音频是分开的，所以我在处理资料时，需要特别注意李光耀所说的一字一句，注意口形，然后一帧一帧慢慢合并。"虽是印族同胞，一句福建话也听不懂，但尚卡尔却凭着多年累积的经验和无限耐心，修复了建国总理李光耀早期的福建话演讲视频胶卷，并将它数码化放上网，让更多国人能重温我国历史重要的一页。46岁的尚卡尔（Shanker Thangavellu）是一名档案技术人员。他的主要工作就是修复和还原旧胶卷的影像和音频，将其数码化。新加坡国家档案馆今年3月把1966年至2015年的国庆群众大会演讲视频上载至线上资料库（Archives Online），而尚卡尔便是该工程音像档案组的幕后工作人员之一。尚卡尔透露，把旧胶卷的内容数码化并非想像中那么容易。"旧胶卷很容易坏，所以须要手动清理，单单是清理的工作就很费时。"虽然尚卡尔一句福建话都听不懂，但建国总理李光耀1968年在国庆群众大会上的福建话演讲视频，是由他负责处理数码化。他笑说："其实听不懂没关系，更重要的是修复音频的过程要非常有耐心。影像和音频是分开的，所以我在处理资料时，需要特别注意李光耀所说的一字一句，注意口形，然后一帧一帧慢慢合并。"尚卡尔透露，单单是1968年国庆群众大会的旧胶卷，就花了他大约两三个星期进行修复。虽然修复档案的工作非常繁琐，但是尚卡尔却对他的工作抱有很大的热忱。他说："我在这一行已经有16年的时间了，但是热忱依然未减。每当看到我们团队共同努力的成果，就会很有成就感。"Get the full story from Lianhe ZaobaoImage: Category: NewsSingaporePublication Date: Thursday, May 5, 2016 - 03:30Send to mobile app: Byline: 李思敏
