So this is probably an ambitious undertaking but I want to play around with my DVD of Taxi Driver and try my hand at recoloring the final shootout scene. The scene had to be desaturated in order to avoid an X-Rating so the red blood ends up looking like a strange pinkish brown. The other colors in this scene appear quite dull.
There are some photos of how the "real" colors looked:

Now I know I will never to be able to get it to look EXACTLY like these photos. But I'm hoping I can make the colors a bit more vibrant. And have the blood look like a real red.
So far I've been experimenting with virtualdub and avisynth filters, playing around with hue, saturation, brightness/contrast etc. But I don't really know what I'm doing.:confused:
Any help/advice/tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
