That way, you can have the details of the 4K OCN but correct OTP color grading (it'd also likely help fix the video level issue you mention).
You'd pretty much have to sync the two masters up side by side anyways to be able to check them frame by frame for mistakes and whatnot. Once you have that set-up, you could just take a snapshot of some frames in both masters and auto-align them in Photoshop and make a large frame compilation to stick into Dr. Dre's color matching tool.
I agree with this, yes. Although whether it's actually ended up correct on the Scream Factory disc is potentially a matter of debate in itself. For starters, because it's a 16 mm to 35 mm blowup, a lot of the colour info that would've been present originally appears to have been lost in the process of getting it onto 35 mm, if the Scream Factory release is anything to go by (see the screenshot I posted, it's really washed out compared to the Koch release).
Personally, I'm not capable of doing the level of work I want to do with this yet, but this could be the project I learn on. We'll see. Audio first though, methinks.
