Those 16mm clips blew my away. They really seem to have the warm golden look that Mike Verta has said the film had in original release. (A little too gold, maybe - but that's could just be how the video camera picks up the projection.)
And I'm amazed at how it doesn't look faded at all! I assume that the first film is an LPP print? (Empire, on the other hand seems a little pinkish...)
I hope you get those prints...
