Can't wait to see more videos reuploaded in 4K, but unfortunately prettymuch anything from "It's My Life" onwards will be upscales and I presume they were originally shot digitally and therefore locked at 480p/1080p.

True. they zoomed. And sometimes the remedy is worse than the disease.
I don't know if Its My life was shot with cinema cameras, if someone has photos of the recording, maybe I could see the type of cameras they used. If they recorded with CINEALTA digital cameras, they could launch the video in 4k. Even in 8k, as long as the director took that option.
