I’m actually curious what NeverarGreat is doing for this shot:
It is definitely green on the Technicolor print scans I’ve seen, but all home video releases, and the 1997 SE theatrical release have neutral colors.
Not being bad or anything but unless someone went and changed the light bulbs from Red to pink in between shots then I think you can safely say that the Hue is incorrect compared to when Leia first pokes her head out with the Blaster.
So although people want to reproduce colors from different prints and so on I don’t think there is anything wrong with that. What ever is going on the film is somehow revising itself with different color hues.
The green walls make no sense what so ever it’s a problem with green in that technicolor print.
Trying to put things like this to bed should be easy I think, I don’t want to butt in and destroy things or anything like that and you never asked for my input. But this just seems a little to obvious what it’s meant to look like. From looking at the end of the film I think you can pretty much stamp “Watch out for color hues fluctuating” and not in any good way throughout the whole film. The question is what is the correct color hue?
If you put the lights red and tweak a small bit I think that now looks about right and R2-D2 and Leias dress now start to look a lot better. I can’t tell you if it’s in the right hue or not but I think the point is it is actually falling in to the bracket of color CORRECTION once the hue alteration takes place to take it away from pink and realize after all the lights were always red and the film made them pink. 😃
I think the big question is what is the correct Color hue? and it’s definitely not pink lights but it’s a shade of red whatever shade of red that is, is the final question… And I could not for the life of me tell you what shade of red it is meant to be 😃
This would need more Value added to it on the still I did which I have not done but that will bring out R2-D2 in a similar fashion or way to that of the Technicolor print. The exchange would rest on Green being the most luminous color verses simply replacing the Green with more Value probably in the Mid range (and top perhaps). So if you like the Value is correct of the technicolor print but it’s not as strong with Red and Blue or something like that. you just need to get the luminosity up to that of the technicolor print just not by using green.
Pushing Values slightly it’s around here somewhere… Like I said can’t tell you exactly and probably nobody else can either.
