Can I make a suggestion Dr. Dre? Take the original blu ray, and then make a 5 minute “cut” that includes 5-10 second chunks of the most important scenes. You could even trim into multiple files by reel, so you have a 1 minute “quick review” for each reel.
Then when you apply your color corrections, you can render the entire “movie” in a few minutes and review how it looks in film more quickly… and maybe even upload a few of the best samples for us to review. 😃 For my one pass correction process it made iterative steps much faster and easier.
Yeah, I was thinking of taking a number of key scenes to sort of test the color grade. However, the real work will start, when I have a collection of reference photos of a projected print, which may take a while.
