Very interesting.
My only suggestion is to calibrate your screen with some test patterns or with a calibration meter, as everything you post is really quite dark overall.The images do look CRT-like, but the gamma is way off (too dark).
It’s actually deliberate to make it darker because it’s too bright or bright in the wrong way and also I have been looking at giving the image more range and color depth where I can… But I agree so I have now gone from 1.13 Gamma to 1.26 Gamma but I will not go higher than this unless a certain shot demands it. (actually a shot of storm troopers went to 1.51)
I am being cautious about not losing the depth I am trying to create so It has been a creative decision but like I said I agree and you hit the nail what was missing so It’s going to have more Gamma now but only 13 points more or unless a shot demands more.
Trying to get that home video feel but a bit better than it was sort of.
Hopefully I will finish this now tomorrow and I will load it up on Vimeo and well that will be the end of this experiment…
also I figured something out…
We are definitely missing missing two shots of the booster detaching and the nose capsule re-entry but the shot of the escape pod flying towards Tattoine was the one that was meant to get blown up. 😃
The external view of the escape pod flying away from underbelly (DVD Menu Version Full shot) and the shot flying towards Tattooine go together but it get’s blown up by laser fire.
If the guy on the turret actually had got a shot off and the booster part detached it might have been a dupe to make you think it was destroyed? But anyway it’s all educated guesses and it’s something like this in the version you never saw before…
Anyway alternate footage that replaces the shots for the first Pod destroyed.
