Should get in touch with this guy:


I didn’t watch the whole thing but in the first few clips the skin tones are too orange and it just looks over-saturated to me.

Good news. The color grade I went for worked for me, for the most part. I went at the blues with a vengeance in the space scenes which makes the picture almost noirish. This becomes a bit drastic when they arrive on planets and magically walk into the land of OZ. That's exaggeration ofcourse, but I might mute some of the color to better match the scenes. There are quite a few rogue frames during transitions for some reason and the wipes I added need a bit of an extension. Nothing that this week shouldn't be able to fix. A June release is certainly looking like a real possibility. I've got a good feeling about this. :)

Still targeting a June release? *fingers crossed*

Didn't get time to work on this last night so it will probably be a July release. Looks like today I'll be able to do the final iron outs and then will do a preview or two.

We’re going camping the next few days but I’m happy to preview when we return.

I've fixed the rogue frames and made a few other minor adjustments. I'd like to invite a small group to preview the file via Plex. If you are interested please PM me with the email you use for your Plex account so I can add you.

And we're live. To celebrate, here's a new poster design.

If anyone would be interested in designing case and disc art I'd be appreciate.

Very cool/classy poster design. Colour choices are all perfect. The logo isn't working for me through, the wide spacing on "Heist" looks unbalanced.

I had a go at doing a rough cut 'n' paste job, moving stuff around etc 'til it looks right to my eye. The same sort of spirit as your original and the old ESB logo:

You could remake it better with the proper fonts if you like it... or ignore it if you hate it :D .

I had similar thoughts about the logo. I like what you came up with, TM2YC

I like it. I agree the Heist is a bit odd with its spacing. I think I'll go back to the drawing board and see if I can replicate that. I'll probably make "The" a little more intentionally connected to Coaxium.

Update on the edit. Received some great feedback and I'll be looking at the color again. If there is one area I'm working on improving it's color correction and it seems like I'm still on that path with this one. I may opt to go with an original grade version of the edit and then slowly try to revisit the edit to create a color corrected version down the road.

Nice work, Dig! This is great light edit for those, like me, that felt it fell just a bit short theatrically.

I think the color looks better in the more well-lit scenes, but unfortunately the dark scenes are now even darker. Unless you can regrade those dark scenes, I’d opt for the original grade.

Otherwise this is a predictably superb effort.

I haven't seen the new grade, do you have a screen of the new dark scenes? Would love to see if darker or perception of them being darker is because the increased in the lighter scenes.

I know this isn't the point of your post, but how do you share the file via Plex?

Well, after months of off and on color correction attempts on this one, I think I'm going to concede that I just can't get the color where I want it without it creating visual clashes across the entire story. I achieved editing wise what I wanted to do so I am going to officially call this one done, for now, and render a final version. To liven up the picture I've simply added some brightness, a tad bit of sharpening and increased the saturation by 1/2. I'll post when the render is done and verified and then this one will be done.

As per the advice of TM2YC, here are the updated posters and logo:
