I just tried out a 10% saturation increase (going from sat = 1.0 to sat = 1.1 is 10% yes?) and it doesn't seem to hurt anything so I'll keep this change. :)zombie84 said:
I think the saturation could be bosted by about 10% as well, at least for most shots, to match Technicolor levels without sacrificing anything. But these still look very nice. Good job!
Thanks myscamore I have adjusted the binary sunset scene following your suggestions. Zombie84's suggested saturation increase seems to help with the overly cool colour palette. I was probably over zealous with my attempt to dial down the excess red resulting in the cooler colour palette. As I say the saturation boost seems to help fix this.msycamore said:
Nice results! IMO and this is just my opinion as there's as much opinions when it comes to color-timing as there is colors, you should go a little warmer. Star Wars IMO had a very warm color palette.
The sunset:
The colors in the wide shot look way off and unnatural to my eyes, the lower sun is too pink and the sand have a sickly green/yellow tint.
The shot of Luke is incredibly close to how it looked in FOX-promotional material for the SE before it went looking like night in the '97 video release. It's been a while since the '97 SE played in cinemas but I clearly remember that I reacted when I first saw the SE on video and thought it looked weird and couldn't remember it looked that way in the cinema. Anyway, it looks beautiful, the photo of the Technicolor screening have more pink in it though.
A little more red in the close up of the suns and it would look much better.
Again... just my opinion, what you've accomplished so far is really nice. Keep it up! :)
Thanks for all the feedback everyone, I knew when I started this it would never be perfect, but I still wanted to get it as close as I possibly could. :)
