No, I did not scan. I took it off a DVD...under auspices of 'fair use.' And maybe it is public domain...don't know? Clip is from Last of the Giants Full film: I am looking for the 16mm film to buy, so I can scan it. But train films go for lots of $$ sometimes. The train nuts gobble them up on eBay. I had to do lots of color grading on the clip. It was heavy magenta, especially in the whites. and saturation was too heavy in flesh tones. Some of the color shift may be due to copying and copying and copying! I have another train film I was going to put up. Flight of the Century. But I generally don't like to rip entire shorts off DVD unless I know it is public domain. That is why I use clips a lot of the time...for fair use discussion. Edited September 7, 2021 by Daniel D.
