[Released] Mad Max (1979) original color timing & mix

[spoRv]

OK, checked the other sources (screenshots), and indeed they match all perfectly 100% apart two images... as those two has lower details, I bet they are wrongly taken (almost surely) from blu-ray, so I've decided to stick with my source - again, I'm 99.99999% sure there is only ONE UHD source.

In the last version V4 - the one I made the 1080p test clip from - while contrast did not pump, it leads - along with color regrade - to a strange phenomenon, like the colorized black&white films, where things were not completely colored but some black&white "splotches" remain here and there - albeit this happened in few shots and even if many of this discolorization problems were small enough to not be noticed, our eyes and brain perception tell us that something went wrong... enough to ruin the whole presentation.
So, decided to went back and start from scratch; instead of trying to reach as much closest shots as possible, I've decided to use the UHD luma, tweaked of course, to avoid those colorization problems; indeed now there are more shots brighter or darker than before, but there shold be no more problems - regrade should be remain the same, more or less, and the whole presentation should be more "natural" - I think, I hope.

An example - top V4, bottom V5 (look at the hand):

as you can see, difference is not night and day, theatrical spirit remains almost the same (as DVD), yet it should be "natural" now.

So, at the end, less close to DVD than before, yet without problem... (only time will tell - after two weeks spent on test and encodings, filling my new 2TB spare drive, I strongly hope so! )
