Recently Wraith did an extended Chronological fanedit of T.H.8. What do you think of also doing yours in chronological order? (alternate version)
I have no plans to do a chronological version for two reasons: 1. Wraith already did it, and 2. I prefer Tarantino’s non-linear storytelling over the linear stuff he did in his later years. Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction are my two favorites from Tarantino, and I just don’t have any enthusiasm for trying to go chronological with this.
Anyway, it took me longer than I expected to take a look at the edit, but I finally looked for any exporting issues. I found some compression artifacts on the coffee pot during the Domergue’s Got a Secret flashback. I’m proceeding to correct it at once. I also felt like the full-color Chester Charles Smithers flashback scenes looked off compared to the rest of the film since I had already messed with the color grading on The Four Passengers and the Domergue’s Got a Secret flashback. So I decided to once again mess around with the color grading on that scene. I thinking, this time, of throwing in a magenta-ish cast to give it the look of a bad '70s film print where the color is fading. To give you an idea of what faded film looks like, here’s a video:

Just to reiterate, I haven’t decided whether to stick with this aesthetic or not. It’s just the first one that popped into my head. Let me know your thoughts.
