Honestly, I’m trying hard to understand this project, but it’s tough. It’s supposedly a “restoration,” yet you’re releasing a 3D version of it? Toy Story wasn’t released in 3D originally, so I don’t understand how you can call that a restoration. Also, the color grading on that teaser trailer looks very different from what I remember Toy Story looking like when it first released. What’s your color reference? It doesn’t look like a film print, nor does it look like the digital master. So why is the color so strange? Lastly, the amount of banding on that trailer is horrific. If a “restoration” looks this blotchy and compressed and outright ugly, then what’s the point of it? Don’t get me wrong, I love Toy Story and I love the idea of fixing some of the changes that Disney made to it in later releases. But this project doesn’t seem to be doing it for me. I hope I’m proven wrong though! 🙂I suppose I should wait to see the final product before casting judgement. Thanks for your work.
