A few more samples:

Hi, I’ve noticed that you are cropping some image from the corners. There should be more image on the top and right that is missing from these pics of your scan. Also, there is a sliver more image on the left and bottom of the prints than your pics show. Are the pics representative how your scans will finally look, in terms of framing? The original 35mm “Super Wide open matte” scan that we have, possess a slightly wider and taller image than the pics you show. So, I’m sure the prints have a larger image that you can use. I guess you are cropping out the top and the sides because of the vignetting (rounded corners), but it might be wise to leave them as is. The viewers might wish to see the entire frame without any cropping at the edges, even if slight.

I also noticed that you are cropping the VFX shots a tiny bit at the edges. As far as I have studied, the VFX shots are in varying ratios. Some in 1.75:1, some 1.78:1, some closer to 1.66:1, and two shots in [roughly] 1.89:1 (both closeups of Grant in the Brachiosaurus scene).

I think it would be best to leave them as is with the full frame and allow the viewer to make their own adjustment if they wish. That’s just my suggestion. Please don’t take it otherwise.

As for your colours, they look really nice. I prefer the yellowish tone of the screenshots as it creates the warmth of the sunlight missing in the previous scans (V1 and V2), and adds to the “tropical island” feel. All the best for your project.
