Here are five more preliminary color grades for the 4K video sample Williarob shared in the first post:
It’s bizarre, how much humanity is unquestionably restored just by maintaining the look of the original photography.
With the '04 master there was this visual suffocation of digital ‘cleanup’ forced onto a picture that very apparently didn’t have it to begin with, crossed with the dreary, crushing dark purple smeared over the whole damn film. It comes of as this sterile, smothered, sort of science experiment in motion.
With this, I can see a set. And actors, and people, and props, and…things. It’s almost like a real movie that actual living beings put love and care into. Simply put, it’s refreshing to see.
