The second one is just awful. He’s made the OT look worse in order to help it be less jarring with his renders.
I mean that’s a little harsh. Anyways I remember Ady putting out a call for FX help and this stuff looked really solid. Harsh edges and things of that ilk can be adjusted with direction and revisions. You can always clean up, soften a frame, etc with time and adjustments. Anyways just saw some decent talent and thought to toss in here for some possible inspo or networking.
From a color standpoint it looks horrendous. The contrast (which is already crushed to hell in the blu-ray had been cracked to 11, such completely undermines the HDR. Also, Adywan has pretty much finished the HD version and is finishing up and entering into the audio side of things (from what I can gather). I don’t recall him asking for fx help…
