Whenever I see a " " or “.” only message, I imagine it sounds like a frustrated R2D2 beep-boop.
Then I imagine C3PO piping up and saying “Well, really R2, if you weren’t always in such a hurry, you wouldn’t have to edit so many embarrassing markdown syntax posts!”
😄
'3PO would say that it might be an Imperial code.
Been looking back and forth a little between some of the changes.
Couple thoughts.
First, WOW, poita. Thanks for all the efforts on your front! Will have to head to your thread at some point! Looks really, really good here in Harmy’s work!
Second, on the sky in the comparisons.
Blue sky on film has always done weird things, IMO. Not quite Kodachrome level weird here, but sometimes it just seems a little strange when aged, then scanned into the modern realm, and now trying to view it at home. On a not-perfect-monitor.
7th down from top screenshot comparison, for example. 2.5 sky has elements of that elusive deep, and very difficult to capture “blue” tone.
Being “direct” from the prints, it also looks quite a bit sharper, deeper, and so much better all around that it’s just not even funny. While I might prefer it “matched up” a little closer to the 2.0 blues, it’d almost be a shame to lose that specific little tone of blue here and there. I would guess that some of that tone is also a result of the film actually having had light pass through it, and giving it that “life.”
While it works well in some places, it’s just different enough from the other sources in places to throw me off just a little. I imagine getting some of these types of things just the way you want will be quite a challenge, but I know you’ll settle on something awesome and make it consistent, and cool 😃
Finally, at about 4:52 on the clip, that foot just looks badass on the “grindhouse” version. The contrast and detail seem much better than the BD.
