I trust your judgement, your work has been fanstastic and I can't wait to see what the result is. I'm just an OT kinda guy and always hated the orange looking title and crawl in the PT.
Well remember that this is a shot from my first version that will bring the appearence of the movies closest to what would have been seen on screen.
I referenced information about how they print digital sources to film, what film stocks would have been used, the characteristics (color, dynamic range, grain structure) of those film stocks used, and even referenced at bootleg DVD copies of the theatrical versions I happened to finally have a use for.
In terms of the OT version, I have been thinking about putting that version on hold, as many colorists I've asked on other forums say that the technology required to accurately emmulate film stocks from the 60's through early 90's is still virtually impossible due to the color and texture characteristics varying for each different level exposure or color hue exposed to a single film cell. BUT color grading tools are evolving towards more complex adjustments, so that may make it possible at some point in the future.
