The grass is so vibrant that it draws my eyes away from the focus of the scene, the people.

I see what you mean, I could take the green down a bit.

Hi there, how would you go about this out of interest?

I've been working on some compression, natural reverb, and eq settings to make the dialogue sound correct.  I roughly seperate the dialogue from the music to do so.

Let Naboo shine with technicolor color schemes and retro 35mm.

This really makes the EE halos stand out.

Some of the elements in the scene look like they were added-in in Photoshop with the "outer glow" style applied.

Yes, I know what you are looking at, it's certainly obvious around the edge of the flower vase thing on the left side.  I didn't add any sharpening whatsoever, but looking at the original those edges the artifacts are already there, it's just they just get amplified.  It's things like these that make this project move at a much slower pace than I would prefer.

Much improved version of a previous shot I had showed.

Good Lord, the unaltered version looks like something out of the CG Clone Wars series.

There are still some secondary color correcting artifacts (really just blatent ring around the blue lightsaber).  Here is technicolor in the duel.

Goodbye digital look!

As always feel free to comment!

Well, thankfully Ryan McAvoy has already made a comparison clip for me for the duel.

Wow, it really looks great! Kind of like a painting. Looking forward to more for sure. I just dl'ed and watched Q2s set, and I bet your work as a base would make his edits that much better!

Cheers!

Looking great but Anakin looks much too orange at 0:01.

Yes, the skintones are little bit inconsistent in this clip, but that's a source issue, I'll see if I can tweak the settings to let my custom technicolor filter make the skintones a bit more red.

Coruscant Clones shot:

And obviously, I think that I will be using technicolor emulation for all of my PT.  I'll probably post new technicolor versions of earlier screencaps.

^ WOW !!!

Here's that Obi-Wan technicolor shot in motion (full scene w/out audio):

Youtube Description:

"Here's another technicolor sequence from my preservation projects, still making tweaks to the skintones, saturation levels of certain colors, the overblown highlights (the occasional source issue), and trying to correct some of the flicker from the film grain scan I use."

Wow, that really looks amazing! It really changes the whole feel of the film.

Was I supposed to be getting a distracting amount of flickery movement in the backgrounds?

Did you not see this in my post?
