Aliens overall graded to 35mm trailer

This was a first test. I also created a less red more blue version which ended up having very cool timing, a more DVD look and more "Cameron" but the skin tones are too pale compared to the 35mm frames.

BD/BD regraded to 35mm "red" version/BD regraded to 35mm "blue" version

Work on Alien continues

 From what I gather looking at various recent restorations of earlier films and their 35mm counterparts, most movies used to be graded warm on film. Aliens, Jurassic Park, Titanic, terminator were all graded warm. It is only in their home video versions that a cool filter was applied replacing their original look. As a result, many think that recent restorations are revisionist and that the blue/magenta in the home video versions are the actual colours when they are not. Its great to see movies being given their due here. Keep up the good work!
