Ok so when watching this br'er edition, it appeared as if the tint was "flickering" from warm to cold to warm to cold etc...
I demuxed the video track from the dvd and opened it in avidemux. The source video on this edition is at 23.976fps and that's what I will be basing the frame numbers by. I realized that the "flickering" effect is a trick that the eyes play when watching a video, in the fact that the differences are usually not from one frame to the next, but gradual and take about 8-10 frames to notice, so when I started skipping a few frames ahead at a time, the differences became extremely noticeable. Here is a breakdown of 20 different frames and differences. Trust me - when you look at like this, they become very apparent.

frame 5119: colors appear to be "balanced"


frame 5134: just a few frames later it looks to have a blue tint (especially noticeable in the mans face) wondering if that has to do with the way the background was processed in during filter stage

frame 5162: colors, as well as blacks/white appear "ok"

frame 5174: now the image is a little more vibrant but appears to be slightly too bright

frame 5189: appears to go back to the way frame 5162 was

frame 5416: overall the whole image looks like there is too much magenta

frame 5431: image appears to be more vibrant, look at how rich the yellow is in the head piece compare to frame 5416

frame 5662: frame looks "warm" and his face looks "ok"

frame 5671: frame looks "cool" where you can see his face has a hint of blue to it

frame 7254: the whole frame appears "warm" pay close attention to the pink tones in the little black boys shirt and white boys warm color face

frame 7267: the whole frame appears "cool" look at how much of the rose is gone in little black boys shirt and white boys face appears cool now, as if the whole image has a blue tint to it and the blue outfit in middle sticks out more

frame 7281: now it appears even cooler, with even more blue tint to whole image

frame 7295: going back towards what frame 7267 was

frame 7309: appears to go back to the "warm" look it had in frame 7254

frame 7848: look at the "white" door and frame which appears to be a purple/blue tint

frame 7863: now the door actually appears to be a "white" (not true but much closer)


the next four frames pay close attention to how the "purple" hat changes from warm reddish purple, to plain purple, to bluish purple, back to warm purple

frame 8557: initial "warm"

frame 8572: kinda plain purple now

frame 8585: her hat now appears a blueish purple and it noticeable in his face too, also the door in background appears a blueish white

frame 8599: back to a warm color, similar to 8557, where the door in background is darker and appears more orange/brown


there are so many more examples of this throughout the whole movie that these 20 from first 6 minutes of movie should be enough to demonstrate my point. I have to mention that I noticed this ONLY in live action sequences, NONE of the animated or animated/live action (mixed) sequences suffer from this issue. Hope I didn't go overboard LOL - Peace, Jerry Shadoe
