Doesn't seem like there's any reason to be dicks about it.  He didn't suggest totally redoing the shadow to be a better effect; he was just looking at transparency, and using the existing shape of the animation.  Given how shit the GOUT is and how low-resolution the available LD rip alternatives are, unless Harmy's got some reference he's posted showing that the shadow was always totally opaque it's not outside the realm of possibility that the shadow element was printed at partial transparency originally.  I mean, they knew how to do it a couple of years later, and a black blob is pretty easy to hide optical compositing lines in.  YEs, everyone knows what the goal of the project is.  Don't be such elitist douches.

At this point, I reckon most followers of this project are tired of coming in here and seeing someone complaining that the colours of Harmy's latest clips/screengrabs are nothing like GOUT or whatever.

No, that's not an excuse for being impolite, but I do think the complexity of the whole OOT/SE-situation demands that people read a little more into things before posting stuff like that.

I mean, it only takes a minute or two on Google to find out that the shadow was always an opaque blob.
