Author Topic: Bad Color in "The Best Two Years" Edward Jurich Master Film Handler Posts: 305 From: Las Vegas USA Registered: Jul 2003 posted 08-28-2004 07:01 PM                     Anyone else running this film? The print we got has poor color. Mostly bad color saturation (colors are dull) and bright outside shots look washed out.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 08-29-2004 11:39 AM                        Not familiar with that film. Distributor? Shot on video? Print stock? Lab?  |  IP: Logged Edward Jurich Master Film Handler Posts: 305 From: Las Vegas USA Registered: Jul 2003 posted 08-31-2004 08:11 AM                     The only reference to video in the credits is a video assistant, there is no mention of video to film transfer. It's a color by Deluxe, print by Deluxe.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-31-2004 09:26 AM                     Edward said"It's a color by Deluxe, print by Deluxe" Deluxe is a lab and that tells nothing of the film stock as they print and process all brands  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 08-31-2004 10:57 AM                     It is a low budget feature. The problems you stated are like low budget DV features. Like the features "Open Water", "Hellbent" and larger budget features like "Full Frontal".  |  IP: Logged
