Full aperture and wetgate are the plan.

I’ll be happy to see the pink tennis ball corrected. Curiously, the “edited for tv” airing on AMC fixes this.

Very good. Please also release it full aperture and not cropped to widescreen. There needs to be a Full uncropped release of The Shining as Kubrick wanted. We already have a perfect widescreen HD master on Blu Ray. There is no need for another widescreen release. Now we need a Full Aperture HD release with nothing cropped, just stabilised, brightened if its too dark and colour corrected to approximate the projected print brightness and colour which as I said earlier, differs from that of a direct scan of the release print. The yellowish bulb would not only brighten the dark parts that would appear on a raw print scan as black crush, but the bulb would also change the colour timing of the print to a more warm/yellow push. And the Blues would always appear to be slightly violet. This should be the aim in the final release. Of course, scratch removal, etc are there as well.
Anyway, it’s a mammoth effort so all the best guys. I would have loved to contribute, but unfortunately I don’t have a credit card. Hopefully I will, someday.
