Going very well.. there's a huge section of the film - all the Death Star stuff, basically - where the color base is anybody's guess. It's sometimes greenish, sometimes bluish, and trying to balance that all out to one unified palette has been challenging. What color IS Tarkin's uniform, anyway? Jumps around pretty heavily. Each scene can be balanced unto itself, but sometimes the way I balance it makes it tricky to adjust to a master coloring, which is largely unknown. Do you know how many shades of greenish-white, bluish-white and pinkish-white stormtrooper armor is? I do. But as I close in on the final, the predominant and most likely coloring becomes clearer. Updates to the site regarding this process would basically be maddening, as I'd have to revise the entire section about every other day. So instead, when I've got it all nailed down, I'll present a truncated version of the process taken to get there, minus months of missteps and re-thinks. Large sections are nice and tight, though; tighter than on any previous release version ever. It's nice to see.. or maybe I should say, it's nice not to see...
