all this stuff about color timing, flicker, fps, crush black, white balances, temperatures is overwhelming. was given an old photography book when I first got my digital camera almost 8 years ago and haven't gone through it as well as I should have. barely know what an f stop is ;P

this thread has got me really curious regarding technicolor prints. also kinda fascianting that there's only like 5 copies technicolor SW left and they are all in pristine condition because this type of film does not fade.

funny thing i've been thinking about this whole time is I thought I heard that The GodFather Part II was the last movie to use technicolor? is that incorrect? or was that something else?

Lucas always claimed that SW was half finished and thats why he went back. How long did color timing take back in those days? Could he have gotten ESB that blueish color on hoth in 1980 if he wanted to or did that require the computer grading we have now?
