I've talked to poita, he says the print is indeed less saturated than the video transfers, but that the scan wasn't fully corrected to match the print yet?

I don't understand why the frame grabs from that eBay auction are much richer. The color palette seems about the same between the two, just the saturation and brightness/contrast seem different.

Regardless of saturation, this seems to be another one of those ones where the regrade is closer to the theatrical, but also somehow arther away (pink skies, teal skies, teal water, skin tones being too orange, etc.)

I love it when 35mm prints come along to answer these color timing mysteries...
