@ timdiggerm Yeah, I got all that. I'm sorry for my stupid and grumpy response, had just received some bad news when I posted. Not an excuse I know.
@ NeverarGreat That's nice to hear, it just seemed to me from your earlier remarks on the first page, that wasn't the case. I'm glad I was wrong. :) The reason I called those photos dubious is because they cannot be used as a blueprint from the simple fact they're photos taken by a camera in theatre, they don't show the true contrast and often displays a pink tint. They are very nice and can of course be used as a general guidance. But when you're starting to apply a pink tint on a shot like that burning homestead sequence, I believe you're doing your project a big disservice. It's of course possible that particular print had a pink tint in certain scenes but as we perfectly know how certain things should look in Star Wars (stormtrooper armor is white) just use common sense for shots like that instead. Just my suggestion.
@ Feallan Not a stupid question, I've pointed out the same thing in the past. I admit I haven't studied them and compared but I'm pretty sure those are 35mm film cells and not 70mm ones. Here's an authentic 70mm frame to demonstrate the amount of picture information:
Btw, what the heck is up with the forum lately? Cannot edit my posts like I used to. Anyone experienced the same problem?
