Wow that clips looks fantastic - great work indeed on the transfer!!!
Amazed how blue Hoth looks esp. in the wampa scene, after all the hooplah about the 2004s colour balance. Perhaps it was always meant to be that blue afterall! At any rate its grand to see Empire looking like a film again :) Plays perfectly using VLC on my Mac.
Not to nit pick, but I've noticed with both the Puggo Grande and the Empire clip that there is a strange sort of 'echo-y' effect on some of the music. Almost like a vibraphone in places! Is this sort of audio effect common on 16mm film prints?
Maybe it's because the music was recorded in stereo and it's been folded down to mono?
