Dan's restoration was never screened publicly. Nobody ever got to see it.
When Dan did the restoration, they fixed all of the faded dupe footage by going back to separation elements.
For the new digital restoration, they worked from the faded dupe negative that is cut into the camera negative.
"And then we had the extreme good fortune to find color separations for virtually all the intermediate footage. We were blown away when Sean projected a reel of restored (from the separations) footage. It was as if it was shot yesterday. The color was nearly Kodachrome. Sadly, this new footage had to be “dumbed down” a bit to intercut with the negative."
