I just want to say a couple of things, I am liking the adjustment but…
- The re-grade on the opening credits on my screen looks a bit hard to read. But the WOW WOW is much easier to read. Do you think that perhaps that 35mm scan has pushed it a bit too bright?
It’s just I don’t think they would make the opening credits difficult to read?
- The Regrade on the bar shot, although the red tint is mostly gone you have a magenta remnant left in the image, I would also say it’s still a bit too red saturated. I assume it’s still early days on that but something is not right here in the bar. That is a black leather jacket Marion is wearing?
Thanks for your input! I’m going with litemakr’s judgement on this. He balanced the colors to match the projected print. It’s not my intent to improve on the original theatrical color timing. The color matching algorithm will hopefully ensure, that color differences with the print will be minimal, but the first version will be the WOWOW with the print colors and contrast.
In case of the bar scene, the current regrade would look something like this:
35mm LPP:
WOWOW:
WOWOW matched to 35mm LPP:
You should also consider how difficult it is to approach the look of the print for this scene, taking into account the limited color depth, aggravated by the color crush due to the red shift, and the massive differences in colors, brightness, and contrast.
