Does anyone still have this copy anymore?
So it’s been a while since the last update.
Long story short is I was waiting on some stuff, and that wait time sort of got extended. I was first waiting on an SDU4 mix from the optical, which thankfully has been made available to me not long ago.
I’ve also been very recently working on a new proper color grade for the scan since the previews were done by someone else from the scanner’s end since they have access to the hard drive. And while I am glad those previews were made, I admittedly am not a huge fan of how the colors looked on them (muddy black level and looked too warm overall, resulting in unneutral highlights and tealer blues). Thankfully though I was able to gain access to a handful of raw frames to work with in Resolve and produce a new grade.
Doubt it’s perfect (especially since I recall someone mentioned the lightning looked cyan on their screening) but I’m at least more content with how some of it looks. I am asking a more recent 70mm eyewitness on the matter about the grade’s “accuracy”.
However, I still don’t have the hard drive with the raw scan files myself still (had to ask to be sent these frames over the web for color testing), so I won’t able to produce a proper MKV release for some time until Hellraiser gets funded (since both scans will be sharing the same drive), so do help with that if anyone’s interested: https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Hellraiser-Clive-Barker-1987-35mm-Scan-Opportunity/id/79222

I have finally gotten around to making a proper release of the scan, so those of you who are interested, shoot me a PM as I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to keep it available.
