I was thinking about the Reliance clip again and I've been curious about if their source was the 97 SE. I dug up the good old TB broadcast (which is the best version with most preserved detail by the way) and used the script we used for the TeamBlu version and then I cranked the saturation up like crazy in Photoshop and balanced it a bit to Mike's work-in-progress Tech print shot. Here's what came out:

Now the weird thing is that when I tried to do the same with the Reliance version, it was like everything was the same color, a bit monochrome-like as Mike put it. The GOUT lacks color on the walls in this shot too so it's weird that one could get the most color out of a TV broadcast of the 97 SE, compared to all other versions, yet Reliance who probably had access to superior material could not. (Or didn't want to) Or maybe their DVNR algorithms ate up whatever color information was hidden within the original grain.
