Color-wise, it’s a lot more consistent. I don’t say that to slight Thunderbean, but because their release comprised more than one source, it looks stunning half the time but badly faded and marked with visible matting the other half— likely from going through the same projector aperture plate so many times. Thankfully, both the prints I’m working with for this project have none of these anomalies, and they’re brimming with strong color density.
Glad to hear. I also noticed another weird thing about the Thunderbean release - during the suger plum fairy segment, the instruments are somehow different from the original. I can’t explain why, but notice for instance how different it sounds on Thunderbean where the fairy sheds her light on the flowers (note: I’m talking about the first, mono track, not the surround one).
