Adywan had finished his color corrections on one of my captures of Reel 1. He had to apply two different color corrections because there were differences on either side of a splice partway through the reel. I haven't had a chance to review the video file yet, but the screen grabs he sent look fabulous:
I'll be shipping him captures of reel 2 next (there are three reels).
My first impressions are that I was wise to approach Ady. :)
p.s. - please note that all mouse droppings were left unscathed.
