Author Topic: Nativity Story color Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-20-2006 08:55 PM                        We're playing Nativity Story at the moment for a 2-day quickie before Night at the Museum comes in. On our print the color has sort of a washed out look...is it that way on all prints? I'm assuming it must be, since all our reels look the same. I think it detracts from the attractiveness of the film, but I guess it's a filmmaker's choice thing. We never had a final trailer of this so I have nothing to compare to.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Jones Master Film Handler Posts: 314 From: Geelong Victoria Australia Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-21-2006 01:28 AM                     Hi Mike, The print we ran was the same no doubt was made that way to keep with that time.

Other movies from that era and before (Ten Commandments comes to mind) had vivid, natural colors with no ill effects. Oh well...no matter - people are liking the movie here no matter what color it is.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 12-21-2006 08:51 AM                        Can't be dye fading on such a new film, surely?  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 12-21-2006 09:13 AM                     That's the way the film maker had the film timed. We did the pre-release post-production screenings in D5 and 35mm.  |  IP: Logged
