so if I understand correctly, you're saying that your IB tech print, though it has lots of dirt and damage, would have the correct colors as Leone wanted them, assuming you were projecting it with the proper bulb etc.?
Do you know about whether your bulb/projection process is the correct one, which would display real accurate colors?If yes: I'd appreciate if you can post a little more film from your print to your blog.Seems to me that the image/colors is very brown/dark. Again, not sure if that is the color or the dirt.
The perfect version that I would release, of course. Italian version minus 2 scenes (Eastwood and LvC in their night camp, Wallach asking for the way to the monastery) and with the shorter torture Scene and (why not?) with that short scene at the end with Eastwood mounting his horse. And of course without the cave scene.
and the shorter US desert crossing scene!!!bruce marshal
For those that want to see a colour comparison between the scan of our U.S. 1967 prints vs the mgm 4k, here are a few images. Please note that a print from the 60's is going to have more contrast, more grain and less detail overall since it's like a photocopy of a photocopy, for the mgm 4k they went back to the negative. Contrast range and detail are going to be superior no matter what when you scan from the negative. In my opinion though, our 35mm scan wins in the color department: http://imgur.com/a/uiBBI
That's actually a good idea. It didn't occur to us. The problem is...how??
Is the footage still available?ICE
