My comments are based on the video you posted, you are actually seeing the print which is a different experience. So if I'm off let me know. Overall its is similar to the 16mm pics I posted. I can see why you originally said the 8mm looked half way between the WOWOW and the BD. It looks to me like the print starts closest to the WOWOW but with a little of the 16mm yellow in it but over all very pale with cold-ish color timing. But the pics toward the end come off as similar in orange to the BD, unless that's the red/brown you a referencing and it show up more as orange here. Brown, red and orange can mush together sometimes. I can't 100% determine from you video but are the skies blue-ish or yellow-ish in the desert scenes? I notice that the credits are more yellow-ish then white.

The skies are pretty washed out towards white in the desert scenes, but there is a bit of blue in there.   What I don't see of the Blu-ray color is the orangish "haze", especially in skin tones. There is a bit more more yellow and especially red in some scenes. 

I just received a new super 8 projector which has a brighter picture, I will try to capture a better image. If anyone has suggestions for scanning super 8 frames let me know.
