We miss you, mverta!
I've seen your restoration videos countless times. The information concealed within is so educational and gives me hope for the better. You go into details so precisely and nonchalant, it's like listening to my spiritual mentor.
The work you accomplish is the best I've probably ever seen from a guy which seriously understands what he's doing. I also figured out that you work as a composer and it's just inspiring, really inspiring listening to your comprehension of the work you do!
A little fan-talk from my side. Hoping to see and hear more analytical videos if you get the time.
I especially like the "Reality Check", because it's so fucking true. You said that word and it's appropirate.
I'm so tired of modern production values and marketing decisions of the art form I learned to love and relate to it with life-hearth at young age. It's literally getting teared apart. I learnt things like effects of primary colors and their use's, it seems things like that are just thrown away and worth nothing anymore. Same with music (compressed to hell), the same happens with colors right now (it's like black and white all over again, but in teal and orange).
I hope your masterful work will be able to chance some decisions made soon. If not, at least a little bit.
Btw I hope not getting ripped apart for posting that. I've started a little blog to rant about modern movie colors on this page: http://color-rant.blogspot.ch/
