To be honest Dr Dre it looks like you’re trying to give it a modern grade here. It’s crushed, dark and contrasty and the red in his face looks too red.

The 70mm scan just above, although not perfect, looks much more like a film of the era.

I guess that’s why we really need some accurate references of a projected print, because without those, it’s all just guess work, trying to work back from a bootleg recording.

Matching the colors of the 70mm frame is easy, but the problem is, that neither the hues or the contrast are probably accurate to a projected print.
