Which grade would you keep?

The first runs cold. Violet rim light on the planet and the moons, blacks pushed toward indigo, a cyan core that blooms outward as the camera pushes in. Everything outside the centre falls away into shadow.

The second is the same shot regraded warm and dirty. Olive and grey across the rock, pale crescents on the moons, the core burning red with a green haze drifting over its surface. The highlights sit softer and the texture reads harder.

One grade makes it feel distant. The other makes it feel close enough to burn.
