Hellraiser (Clive Barker, 1987) – 35mm Scan Opportunity — Page 2

At long last, I present to you all a proper release of the Hellraiser scan!

This HEVC encode is presented to you in Rec.2100 PQ (with the correct HDR encode transfer characteristic this time) in an open-matted UHD render (as certain effects shots from the Frank resurrection sequence are the only times on the print where hard-matting is particularly visible). The SDR thumbnail above was generated by Mad-VR with the peak nit set to 400 Clipping so if you’re looking for any tone mapping recommendations, I suppose you could take that into consideration (though running the MKV through VLC gets solid results as well on my end).

Unfortunately due to a lack of a consistent reference, I admittedly didn’t bother trying to manually adjust each of the reel’s color grading to counteract against the scanner’s reel-by-reel auto-balancing, so there may be some visible shifting in the overall color balance from time to time. I should also note that the HDR layer as a whole was rather problematic unfortunately. More often than not it was misaligned so I had manually nudge it but you may notice some garish haloing if you pixel-peek. Also, due to a file-copying mishap that must’ve occurred ages back when I first received the RAW scans that went unnoticed until recently, the HDR layer on the fourth reel was missing several thousands of frames, so you’ll probably notice some noisy flickering towards the latter half of the reel.

If you’ve donated previously, please send me a message as I’ve been having a hard time keeping track of who helped out years ago.

I’m having issues with mine
