Great interview! It's nice to get some insight into the thoughts of the editors here.

I also can't notice the difference in colors. If there's a direct side-by-side comparison, I can see it, but I can't pick it out on my own. I know a guy who was annoyed with the 2011 Muppets movie because it wasn't colored the same as the films from the '70s and '80s, and all I could wonder was how anyone would even notice that!

I'm surprised that some people cry more as they get older. There's nothing wrong with that; it's just the opposite way I watch(ed) movies. When I was younger, every movie was a life event that happened to me personally, as far as I was concerned, so I cried for anything and everything. Okay, maybe a slight exaggeration, but you get the idea. (You'll also understand why I watched almost no horror movies during this period of my life.)

Now even if I want to get lost in a movie, I know too much about the filmmaking process to shut off my brain. I can see all the strings that are being pulled, and make guesses as to how and why those particular strings were pulled. "Oh, this movie is attempting to follow the Hero's Journey." "Oh, this movie is making a political metaphor." Etc., etc. (That said, Inside Out was still pretty powerful.)

Anyway, this was a great read. I look forward to Part 2!

Per that photo on the front page, one of you is a lot older than I thought.

Thank you so much for the kind words!

Well, you're not the star of Oldboy so I guess hearts are broken all around, my friend.

47% of FE members look precisely like their avatars. It's true.

Shame on the rest.

agree with bezoar and the corazonninja:

fanediting is a practical form of film criticism. the cinematic "what ifs" become our puzzles to solve, if we're so inclined.

But then somebody comments on some color correction clip of something that the blacks are crushed, your mids are a little magenta and the gamma, why don’t you call this ‘Attack of the Gamma’ lol, and I feel like such an idiot. I don’t understand any of it.

This is me to a tee. But I have some degree of red-green color blindness/deficiency. (I suck at the Ishihara Test)

Thanks for reading (all of you guys). If you don't mind my asking, how bad is your red-green color blindness? Do you have to tell traffic lights by their position or are the colors distinguishable?

I'd like to give a special thanks to @"thecuddlyninja" for posting this.  We had a very long discussion and it was to his credit that he went back and made something intelligible out of it.  The fact that this is just part 1 goes to show how much work he's done, which I'm sure wasn't is more work than he'll ever get credit for.  Nonetheless, here's a "here, here" for the man.  Enjoyed it!

Thanks, man. But if people know how much work went into editing it, they won't think we're both just clever, concise people. Shhhhhhhhhhh.

The colors are distinguishable to me. But like I said, that eye test where you're supposed to see a number in a circle:

What number do you see?

You should see a
42

I don't see anything.

Sorry for the thread hijack.

I only see the answer to life, the universe and everything.

Definitely not a hijack when you're just answering my question. :)

other optical illusions: the red text on this site.

the text seems higher than the surrounding text (by about a pixel), but when you use another item on the desktop as your ruler/level and bring it just under the line of text, you find there's no upward shift of the red letters.

Yup.  Red appears "closer" and blue appears further "away."  This is why 3d is composed of these two colors since it creates the largest amount of depth.
