Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

What does this even mean? You have been told that those are the accurate cel color and you don't like it? What do you want me to say?? You say this, but no one knows what method you use (unless you shared it awhile ago but I cannot find it). So I ask again to better understand your process: Which o...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

Is this the SoM group project? I've been looking for information about this for a while. I'd love to see more of what you've been up to and when it will be available. Thanks appreciate it! My post saying that the original Dragon Ball show has been white balanced and we have a draft of color correct...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

That "oversaturated and unbalanced" color IS the accurate cel color for Goku and Piccolo under the sRGB color space, it was not make up by me. That is what they actually looks like. The artifact was just an example of the challenges to be resolve along the way, which is not much big of a ...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

Oh boy, where to start with this one? I don't think age can change the color of a cel, it is literally paint, and if it does, surely it does in a totally different way compared to a film/photography. Trachta, take a look at this cel. Anyone reading should also take a look. Notice anything? https://i...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

No, he's right, the cels aren't how the show is intended to look, they are made in such a way knowing that they will be transferred to film where the colors will end up looking different. You can see this in pretty much any animation cel, not just Dragon Ball. The cels are good as a reference, to s...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

But I'm still open mind on it, maybe the opening has a different aspect ratio compared to the episode? Ahh, I see the problem now, it was an earlier mistake and I'm glad you caught me on that. The first pictures I posted (Goku in front of home, Pilaf, Goku and Jackie-Chun, General Blue, Goku and Ti...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

Oh ok thanks for clearing that up so this was how the show looked when it originally aired didn’t know that. is it possible to at least paint the red gi’s the color orange used in z or super? You're getting into revisionist personal corrections at this point. Also, if you apply a color correction o...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

Can you show me this same screenshot before and after the change in the ratio? Did they only use the dragon balls in the opening as reference or also other objects inside the show? Sure. This is the 4:3 (640x480) version you would find on the DVDs. https://i.slow.pics/cfLS4Q4m.png Let's use the cir...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

I'm really surprised that they decided to do that, I think the image is too stretched It's a bit strange to read that and then dismiss it, but I do get how someone who is used to looking at something, even if it's not necessarily correct, will find a different version "wrong" because it g...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

One question, why the aspect ratio is not 4:3? Excellent question. I'm going to share a quote by someone who is knows much more about that kind of thing than I do. The TL;DR is that the ratio I'm sharing the images in is the true correct ratio, determined by math and geometry. Both R1 and R2J are 7...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

My god that looks great, can you show me one from episode 139? Sure, I'll include some before/after this time. Note that these aren't the EXACT same frames, I'm just pulling from the same shots in the episode. https://i.slow.pics/iXBWze8C.png https://i.slow.pics/1gkJIZiJ.png https://i.slow.pics/n5U...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

Hey all, I have some great news regarding the white balance / color correction of Dragon Ball. Over the past 6 months, I've been with a crew that has now white balanced all of Dragon Ball, DBZ, and DBGT. This white balancing is done shot by shot. We've been able to use these white balanced images an...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

Some good talk here. I saw someone asked about sharing methods, so I wanted to share what my method is for white balancing. A proper white balance will go a long way before general color correction. This is my first basic white balance tutorial: https://youtu.be/mnmQylScvzk I run a Discord group and...
