[Cancelled] Evil Dead Regrade (Japanese Herald Laserdisc)

[LucasGodzilla]

So I'm going to quickly apologize in advance for making this tangent post since I don't feel like this thing alone is worth a separate thread all of its own.

 The left is my Palace VHS, centre the Herald Videogram LD, and right is a German lobby card... The lobby card taken from a 35mm print certainly looks to be half way between the two.

I took notice of this post from a bit back and I decided to take a little bit of time to try and grade that clip of the movie so that it'd look closer to the color grading of the German Lobby Card with "okay" results (I also cropped it from the O.A.R. or 4:3 to the supposed theatrical 5:3 widescreen aspect ratio).

I haven't been able to exactly replicate it, unfortunately, probably due to my inexperience with color grading and lack of the proper software perhaps, but it's certainly along the lines of the lobby card colors I think. Not enough blue and a tad too exposed though, or so I think, I'm not entirely sure. I'm using the more-recent HD transfer of the movie that came with the 4K Blu-ray so maybe that's contributing to the problem.

Also I don't know why I noticed this only now but for some reason the audio is stupidly out of sync.
