From my part I can say my goal is to approach as much as possible what was on the original interpositives. This is why the print scans, and film stills are to me the most reliable color reference, both in terms of color, contrast and brightness, although it should be noted that prints tend to have more contrast and saturation, which I try to take into account. I sometimes look at the JSC, because it was telecined at a time, when the source was still in good condition, and it shows in the colors, but I’m very much aware that capturing the colors with the telecine process is approximate at best. I would never trust the GOUT, because it was made at the time when the source material was in dire straits, which means they had to re-interpret the colors pretty much from scratch. The GOUT obviously has a revisionist 90s grading with it’s very pink skin tones. Of course, there’s always personal interpretation in trying to correct problems in print scans, film stills, etc, so my color grading will always be slightly different from somebody else’s color grading. I try to stay true to the source material, and hope that you guys will continue to call me out on shoddy regrades, such as pittrek and Harmy have done.
