I’m noticing that lights and reflections are “streaked,” like it was a slow exposure and their luminescence is trailing off a little. It’s especially noticeable when Artoo and Threepio are in the sandcrawler. Is this the result of overexposure in the scan or is it native to the print or negative?
EDIT: Here’s an example of what I’m talking about.
Do you mean this:
with the smearing coming of Threepio and the lights
and this with the Jawas?It might be something that happened in the compression phase perhaps?
I noticed the “light bleed” as well. To me it looked mostly like ghosting, which can happen when direct light hits a camera lens. Older lenses, like the ones used for Star Wars back in the day, were much more susceptible to this.
Or maybe it’s the result of the “panty hose filter?”
Poita, do you happen to have scans of this scene for comparison?
