    The difference between a bad telecine and a scanner ;D

    Image1 is what i´ve been using for the offline edit, image 5 is what the same shot looks when it´s properly scanned and quickly graded. Maybe you can´t notice a big difference in this tiny photo, but the offline version sucks. So this is like editing with one eye closed and the other one itchy.
    Hopefully we´ll be getting all the footage scanned next week.
