Branching off the discussion in the Alien/Aliens Color Regrade thread here:

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Alien-Aliens-Color-Regrade/topic/17002/page/5/

While taking a break from grading Alien, I posed a question whether anyone was interested in a color regrade of Blade Runner. Using a 80s era laserdisc someone uploaded to the spleen. I regraded parts of Blade Runner to see the results.

Project Info:

This was originally an experimental regrade to an old pan and scan LD until Jonno provided me with a capture of the vastly superior Criterion Collection laserdisc of the International Cut.So now it is a regrade to that laserdisc.

Video:

2013 Blu-Ray of the International Cut (IC) regraded to the 1989 Criterion Collection (CC) Laserdisc (LD)

Audio:

1. PCM 2.0 (from the Criterion Collection International Cut LD-Narration)

2. Dolby Digital 5.1 (from the Warner Bros International Cut BD-Narration)

3. PCM 2.0 (from the Warner Bros Director’s Cut LD-No Narration mixed with the IC’s Laserdisc PCM 2.0 and parts of musical score to fill the gaps)

Subtitles:

English (From the BD converted to SRT and SDH parts removed)

French (From the BD converted to SRT)

Spanish (From the BD converted to SRT )

Output:

MKV compatible within the spec for a 25GB BD
