That etching is really cool, but I don’t wish to strip it and use it myself, as it isn’t totally necessary.
And yeah… I gotta admit the dice scene is just this side of totally working, and I would like to avoid this feeling like a fan edit, even though that dice scene is hella cool.
Been awhile, but wanted to check in on things! I read a bit on the discussion about Nev’s excellent work at restoring scenes. My thought is the same as you Hal. Granted, the work Nev did is remarkable, but it’s really the shot of the scene that sticks out. The camera position looks more like a “behind the scenes” kinda shot or a documentary style that makes it feel “off” when it comes to implementing it. Again, great work and it has it’s merits, but it’s really the actual shot/camera positioning that doesn’t personally jive for me.
