That's awesome news about Adywan helping out and I like the plan to do one adjustment per reel. The only thing I am wondering about is you have said in the past that you were capturing each reel multiple times and were going to choose the best capture for each scene.

You could do what you now suggested and give a totally consistent look for each reel at the possible expense of washed out light or dark areas from scene to scene. The other option would be to send Adywan all captures for each reel and have him give suggestions for each captured version of the reel. Then you could select the best version scene by scene and have consistency amongst the captures scattered throughout the reel, but not use one capture across the entire reel. I am not sure which approach is better, but probably your approach you are going with is best overall to keep it as original as possible (as long as one of the captures is pretty good for most parts of the entire reel).

Can't wait to see it!
