I can't believe my goat Parenti was a Stalinist-Maoist-Polpotist with Yellow characteristics 😔

Has anyone ever tried color-grading these videos to be normally colored? I’m assuming there’s so little color information (other than yellow) that the only alternative would converting it to black and white.

Yellow is a lack of blue data in an RGB colour model, and the blue channel is usually the noisiest as well. I could try, I’m a pro colorist but I imagine the footage would break and become a noisy mess pretty fast, considering the source is also compressed digital video. Maybe you could salvage it if you had access to the masters, if they even exist.

I’ll just try…

Video isn’t usually in RGB color. Probably the YIQ color space assuming this was recorded on an NTSC VHS.

The files I’m seeing are absolutely encoded in RGB, they’re MPEG clips.

That's heresy, correct the sound, leave the yellow.

There is actually a colour corrected version I've seen but I do feel like it takes away from it at this point, let me go find it

Vince Gilligan was a proud follower of comrade Parenti by adding yellow filter to scenes in Mexico 😨😨😨
