Wanted to reach out and say that I’m grateful for the effort put into this by yourself and whoever else assisted in this great remastering effort! Secondly, I wonder where you sourced this first-gen copy with the red tint from? Would it be from the blu-ray that was released alongside the DOOMED! blu-ray release, found here: https://tinyurl.com/ffdoomed As the producers of DOOMED! claim that the copy their offering is from a “first-generation source - the original 3/4” U-Matic layoff (from telecine) that was the source for the all the bootlegs out there."
It is not. It was sourced from S.J Reed.
But, I am fairly sure that the Reed DVD source comes from the same telecine, but it was probably an earlier transfer made years ago. The new blu-ray release appears to be from the same tape, but with more damage and age to the original source. So that is technically true. Look, I’m not an expert. We just got lucky with the sources and all.
We are also planning on making this upload available publicly on other streaming sites (probably not Youtube). Believe me, I’m not trying to hoard this. I just want to protect it.
