Yes and no. I got distracted for a bit with real life work, but the color correction has proven to be a new and painful experience.

The problem is there is no duplicating exactly what they can do, so close approximation is the best to hope for most of the time.

At the moment I'm waiting on the soundtrack, because the final scene is in the middle of a longer scene which is all score-y... The deleted portion is dialog only. I'm hoping this can be cobbled together cleanly.

Also... and I'm just floating an idea here... but I'm considering when finished starting with Order of the Phoenix and continuing from there with a series of de-David Yates-ed versions.

While he may be a talented TV director, he is, in my opinion, the worst thing to happen to the whole Potter franchise.

I understand color-timing, mood lighting, tinting, or whatever helps set the mood. That's fine. But there IS a point at which you have just crushed all light and color from a movie so as to be implausible looking and unwatchabley(sp?) dark.

Just because Voldemort has returned does not mean lights, fires, and daylight no longer work. People sitting in the dark doing paperwork? Full daylight looking like night? I've joked that Deathly Hallows Part II will be so dark you'll need to bring a torch (flashlight) to the theater just to see the screen.

To make matters worse, if you watch with most types of 3D glasses, the picture will be even darker. (Not that I will be de-Yates-ing a 3D version).

Some first test screenshots (I'll probably use deleted scenes that haven't been messed with as guidelines for the rest of the film). (I'm also aware they are a bit oversaturated ATM.)

Btw, my intention is to do this to extended editions... I will need to track down ADM's Order of the Phoenix in DVD9 though. I can't see re-encoding the DVD5 version or recutting it.

Again, the De-David Yates-eD version will be separate from the straight up extended cuts of HBP (and I suppose eventually Deathly Hallows 1 & 2).
