AOTC Reel 1 rendering test started to verify black levels. If the black levels are good then it’ll have outright started rendering. Just gotta verify them on OLED and in motion and see if that needs to be tweaked so just about there.

Looks like Reel 1 has Kodak 2383 stock for the attached trailer spliced to Kodak 2393 stock for the main feature and seems they each need a slightly different calibration. Also the main feature on reel 1 needs a different calibration than the other reels for one reason or another (maybe since only that had the proxy .mp4 created along with the DNGs during the scan and that changed how it did the colors; the 2383 trailer stock made it do some under the hood base calibration different than when fed 2393 during that step; something set or read in during initializing step differently; etc.?).

Reel1 also will need some insanely intense aqua/turquoise/mint colors brought back by hand so will be a pain, especially for the second half of it. For one reason or another the scanner wasn’t able to capture their true intensity and if calibration is set to make them look correct then the rest of the movie picks up way too much teal saturation and if the rest of the movie looks correct then those look muted.
