Your heart's in the right place, but unfortunately, 90% of 16mm prints made before 1982 were on Eastman stock and have faded over time. See P. G. reel #2 for a typical reproduction of what a 30ish year-old 16mm film print looks like these days. Reels 1 and 3 of the Puggo GRANDE were very well preserved, judging from their color and contrast, (they may have even been Eastman LPP, a much better "low fade" film stock) but they had faded a bit as well and a true representation of brand new prints from 1977 are probably gone forever.
I understand. I even want to use the Plugo Grande for a possible grindhouse fanedit of SW! ;)
Once again I LOVE the color correction by Adywan, I just thought a color correction from the 16mm print would be easier to match the real original colors than use the 2004 DVD as a basis. But I guess I was wong.
I did not see the Puggo grande yet. I'm waiting for V3. :)
