[Idea] Ghostbusters (1984) - HDTV regrade

[spoRv]

Made a regrade using HDTV as source; why? Because, even if it has lower quality than BD, it has bigger frame size in most shots (particularly in the first part of the movie); it could also be used just where the frame size is bigger, though…

Comparison: HDTV (DVD colors), BD 2009, regrade

There's a 35mm scan on the Spleen.

I know a 35mm print scan of the movie exists floating about on the internet. I haven't seen any footage of it though apart from a few screencaps on some website awhile back though. Wonder how well that'd serve to make a regrade of the HDTV or UHD master.

Also great, I only saw the mentioning of it being on MySpleen now AFTER I wrote this. D'OH!

@marin888

Is that an old print from when the movie was released or some kind of newly struck recent print?

If it's mag striped it's original. No one stripes 70mm anymore, modern prints have to use DTS CD-ROMs.

I never could find that HDTV anywhere. If anyone has it I'd love to check it out

Is there a way to tell if it's mag striped from the images?

[zoidberg]

The black stripes either side of the sprockets (2 thick, 2 thin, containing the 6 tracks). Modern 70mm would only include the timecode track for DTS, the rest of the outer edges of the frame would be clear.
