Sorry for bumping this, but I had an interesting observation.

I've been watching a film project that I'm sure some of you are familair with.

Some scenes of that project DO seem to have a bit of a yellow tint to them, in fact one might even say it resembles some of these rotla screenshots.

I figured I'd mention it cause it does suggest that maybe rotla did look like this.

Is that "yellow tint" in the whole film or say specific to the desert parts of the film?

I will say that my stance on the Raiders blu-ray has softened somewhat, I will totally buy it someday when it gets an individual release. There's problems with the HD captures compared to the Blu-ray in my eyes. It's just so jarring to me to see so much yellow in the opening jungle scenes and the university too.

And if the blu-ray colour timing is indeed the way it always was, how did they mess up the DVD release so badly? If you're going to go to the effort and 'fix' the film by removing production errors you think you'd spend at least a moment going hey the colour timing is completely different from the original film but let's digitally remove a wire that no one ever notices.

It's seems in the HD age people seem to forget that DVD wasn't a nothing format and people put out some amazing DVDs, only limited by the amount of data they could fit on a disc.

So now why is something like colour timing such a problem now that needs to be fixed? If you can notice the problem now you could notice it then.

An interesting development none the less.
