Rock Montreal Colour Grading [FINISHED]

Nitro could you PM the torrent file to me again please

Not wanting to be disrespectful but problem with your colour corrected version is the whites now have a pink hue to them.

Please keep seeding for those who didn't finish yet or put it to piratebay

Seeding!!

This is why I see both sides to this discussion. Someone like you prefers a warm skin tone on screen and that's why you're tinkering with the video. The team that worked on the film in 2007 wanted to retain more of the concert feel.
And finally, sometimes cameras can't capture the lighting very well, which can be another reason to try adding it back in.

Hopefully, this will make things clearer.[/QUOTE]

The point is, you can watch any video recording of a Queen show from 1980 through 1982, where they use the same lighting rig, and see that the effects on their skin tone are nothing like what appears in the 2007 Rock Montreal release. The people altering the footage here are just trying to get it as close to what it must have actually looked like on the night as possible.

Damn, I read your reply and thought you understood what I had meant, then realised you were referring to Nitro. :(

There's merit to what he's done, but, I disagree with calling the 2007 version rubbish. Anyway, it's out, so feast on it!

Unfortunately, you haven't understood my post. I'll try once more. Just to explain things a little further, the "lights" you highlight were brought in to restore the lighting they felt was missing in the shots. When filming stuff, sometimes lighting doesn't translate to the camera. I don't know what this phenomenon is called, but I have experienced this when filming some shows. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't.[/QUOTE]

Are you implying that the imagination of the editor (who probably wasn't even there 26 years ago) and his perception of how it *should* look is more accurate than what was actually caught by cameras? I rather take the original colours, sorry :P

You do have a point though, that sometimes the lighting doesn't exactly translate to camera well, however in Rock Montreal these corrections are way too boosted. I mean it looks nothing like it originally did. And why does it look so unnatural to most viewers? That shouldn't be happening.

My version is that someone just randomly thought making it all yellow would be a good idea, whether it originally looked like that or not. It looks "cool", right?

Thanks for creating this MKV.
What calibration tool do you use for calibrating your video editing monitor? I heard good stories about spyder.

I haven't had the time to take a more detailed look, but I noticed that you didn't create tracks splits in the MKV file. Are you aware of the possibility? It's really easy to do.

Anyway, Thanks!

Thanks for this improvement

You assume that Brian and Roger never had any input into how it should look. Sorry :P

I am aware that I did not create chapters yes ;)

Considering it was colour-graded at Eagle Rock, rather than in-house at Queen Productions, yes.
