Yeah, I think I’m on the record that the colors in v2.5 are far from ideal and I even said in my post above that we did go a bit crazy hunting for that technicolor look for a while, but we need to find some sort of mid-way, not just take one reference that in someone’s subjective opinion looks good and run with it - that’s just repeating the same mistakes, except at the time, we only had that one reference and there was no evidence that it may not be 100% accurate, whereas now, we have much more than that, so the mistake would be even bigger.
Yeah. I mean I get that it looks more neutral and therefore familiar (I agree and I do like the look of it). But that makes me wonder exactly how/why it exists and where it comes from. It looks more like we might expect an Eastman print to look (ish). But that’s obviously not possible. Or, if an Eastman print was in cold storage from 1977 until now and immediately was chopped up, that’s the saddest most ridiculous thing ever. But the color of the soundtrack, if I’m not mistaken, shows that it shouldn’t be Technicolor either.
