Sorry all, I didn't get a notification of new posts...so my reply is a bit late.
I will not be doing an exact replica of the VHS look. This isn't a complete restoration. Things will be changed...some of the DVD color adjustments, while probably toned down, might be left in my finished version. It's a case much like the SW SE's from '97.....many changes were too big or in your face for people to like them, but some of the less noticeable clean up work was very nice. I might leave in a few things that I feel improve the film, but I will definitely be toning down the neon colors that have been added in. This was a very earth-tone/sepia colored film when I was a child, and now it looks like a brightly colored circus poster....I definitely lean more towards the original look, but would like to find some form of middle(ish) ground.
