Maybe there is some or it's from the blood ;)
Those are the original files which I am then linking by AMA at MC5 and transcoding them to DNxHD 120 and backing up the project with MDV each time I am bringing in some new footage. Of course when the time of the editing will come there will be color correction to keep up haunting the "sick" atmosphere I am looking for the film. The Neutral Profile leaves room for a lot of improvements. If I would add just an 800W light hitting the roof and closing the aperture, everything could be more dynamic BUT then I wouldn't have the "sickness" I am looking for which a part of, is the degradation of the image.

I don't think it's the blood. :)

In the texture of the wall, I see some green/blue and reddish tones, rather than a consistent hue. It's not very significant and is probably fine. With NR, you could remove it, but too much NR and things start looking plastic. Blotchy color noise is one of those digital artifacts that we don't tend to see in film. Applying a touch of NR and then adding some film grain could really make it perfect.

But I'm picking nits here. The audience won't notice or care. :)

No, I am also a perfectionist as well. I have analyzed that. This is due to White Balance.
Even if I have set it to tungsten which was the right one, it would be better to have it on set and with the classic white paper, I would have taken a better metering of color temperature. That in theory. It needs some CC inside MC5 to reduce the color cast. From then and on there is no color noise or is reduced to a real minimal state that even enlarged will not be viewable or noticed. Of course I am not going to leave it like that at the final stage. Thanks for the observation Jon.
