Gremlins 35mmized (1984)

The new Gremlins UHD regraded to an old 35mm trailer of the same movie, using DrDre's ColorMatch tool and some adjustments in Photoshop.

Audio options include:
- Laserdisc PCM 2.0 encoded as FLAC
- Laserdisc PCM 2.0 dematrixed using a Dolby SDU4 hardware-decoder to 4.0 (LCRS)
- Dolby Headphone track created from the dematrixed 4.0 after upmixing to 5.1 (rear channel split and LFE crossover at 200 Hz with intact satellites)
- 5.1 from the UHD losslessly converted to FLAC

Enjoy!

Much thanks to:
- williarob for the trailer scan
- BusterD & Chris Solo for the Laserdisc audio
- bronan for syncing the Laserdisc audio to the UHD
- PDB for advice on forum etiquette

Some before/after screenshots would be nice!

Here, extra for you.

The top image is simply the tonemapping that I used pre-regrade, the bottom is the regrade. As you know, there's no standardized way to tonemap, so it may not be 100% representative of the UHD.

Great, thanks! Only one thing: NEVER REGRADE CREDITS - at least, the one with only text that is assumed is white...

Heh. I typically just use a blanket LUT for the entire movie, so it can happen. I'll look out for this next time.

What's that? A cam?

Credits aren't supposed to be pure white, there should be a little % of yellow in them.

It's a common mistake on many short films and surprisingly, many films and series.

Interesting, what is the reasoning for that? I never heard of that. I do think that I saw some programs use slightly yellow text for video though and I remember wondering why that is. I figured it's good for subtitles so they pop more.
