Sharp and Shiny

[tinturtle]

My new vid is the first I have made using the better copies of the episodes that a helpful fellow fan gave me last year. (You know who you are. Thanks!) These copies have much sharper and brighter images and truer, more consistent colors. That's all good. In particular, it's nice not to have to do as much tinkering with color balance while editing in order to keep consecutive clips from different episodes from clashing with each other.

Yet I kind of miss what I suppose you could call the more traditional look I got when I used my old copies of the episodes. They made my vids look more like most of the other Pros vids I enjoy and admire and made them feel like part of a continuity. I don't think I will be switching back; that would be silly, since the actual tradition followed by previous Pros vidders was to use the best footage available to them. I probably won't be recutting my older vids, either, though.
