I was looking at new movies last night looking for nice scenes to use,
mainly the Tolkien and Harry Potter ones. There are few scenes that
don't have seriously manipulated color, except some at the
start of LOTR.
In LOTR Fellowship of the Ring, near the end are scenes where they
are floating down the river Anduin. And these scenes are seriously green:
blue-green water and lots of greenish backgrounds. That's on my Sony.
On the CT-100, when set so color bars and Dorothy's face look perfect,
the darker areas, green on the Sony, are blue instead. This is visible
also in the white parts of Dorothy's collar, which are blue instead of
gray. I though this might be caused by a wrong I gain, so I checked ...
nope, that's not it. Could it be a bad resistor in the blue color matrix?
I was sure that I had them right when I set it up, but only checked
saturated color bars.
Fifth Element may have some good scenes.
