Also that first pic, I took that ages ago and it gets everywhere
Ah, so you’re the originator? It’s been referenced on here by other members, never knew who the creator was. Also used here: http://notonbluray.com/blog/orange-and-teal/ is that your blog btw?
JayArgonaut it’s hard to get into mind of James Cameron. At different times and on different formats he seems to prefer a different color scale. BD looks amazing but there is too much blue/orange complementary color there for my taste (but again that was a popular choice in the 80s even though he chose it in 00s). I have Aliens on pretty much all formats and DVD color is pretty much close to what I get used to the most. The best option would be to have “original” (whichever it is) color version and optional new color regrade as an option on blu-ray.
Yeah, likewise with Lucas (who I’m convinced has gone insane), Spielberg and many many others who’ve pulled similar stunts. I’m driven to distraction by the endless home video revisions and perplexing choices. From the uncut 1:66.1 version of Robocop only being available on an OOP non-anamorphic 1999 DVD, to The Matrix receiving a re-colour so it matches the sequels.
Yeah I found a hd version of the DVD master and compared them, here I think
Not my blog, it may be a coincidence but it’s the same frame I tookI saw a 70mm print this year, it did not look anything like the BD at all.
So what is the closest color from available formats that you’d compare to 70mm screening?
The THX laser, is damn close the print was amazing
One of the many reasons I’m using the 95 THX Laserdisc as the source for my regrade. Thanks dvdmike
