Hey Trooperman, your color correction looks a little odd to me. Its seems like your going for a more muted look but you gave a lot of the scenes weird tints. I think I'll play around with color correction a bit and show you my results.

 

Yeah, I went overboard with the purple in the chase.  I'm sure Paul has noticed that as well and probably plans to change it himself....

 

It was just so hard to give this any kind of realism without sometimes going to drastic measures.  I remember reading an article where it stated that most professional cinematographers were "appalled" at how bad AOTC looked in theaters (due to the still-new HD filming).  The colors are so screwed up, and combined with all the phony looking digital effects it looks like a cartoon.

In my version it doesn't, but I do think in some cases I went too far.  Hopefully we can pull back the tint but still keep that more muted look...

You could always go for a bit more desaturated high contrast look. The increased darks would hide some of the cgery. In fact, desaturated and darkening those city scenes makes them look quite striking. Like the Dark Knight or something

 

btw I'm thinking Georgie was going for sort of a technicolor look.
