Keep in mind that in those day it was telecined only for the offline edit, which would then be used as a reference for the physical online film edit. Either that or the final delivery was NTSC for TV.

No matter what you are going to need quite a bit of post work to make that look good.
IMO filming real assets is always better than faking them in AE.
As far as faking it (or for compositing the filmed drips), I would look into the Caustics effect. It won’t simulate the drips, but it will add a realistic water refraction effect that will help it transition into the river. Then again, it depends on how the river is animated, and what kind of look you’re going for.
If all you are looking for is the shape of the drips, then you could make a matte using Mr. Mercury, but it’s a pretty lame effect with minimal controls.
Also, if I’m following you right, you could film the drip transition in high contrast, use it as a matte, and composite it with the matte you’re currently using. That way you won’t have to repaint the last frame, or worry about it matching.
Good luck.

Thanks.

What is the error you are getting? Or is there one?

Here’s a question. I accidentally removed myself from the leader board, so how do I get it back?

I would try Cinema Tools.
First I would try using one of your inverse telecined clips and conforming the frame rate.
If that’s not a fix, then I would try doing the entire inverse telecine process with Cinema Tools using the original media. Once you know that works, you can transcode the now progressive videos. Test it with one clip first.
Also, if you don’t have space for prores, and you don’t have access to prores LT, then I would probably use XDCAM. I generally avoid HDV at all costs.
But again, the codec isn’t the problem here.

I tried reproducing the problem, but couldn’t. I would be willing to bet that the problem is originating from your Photoshop settings.

Another quick fix can be the ‘Broadcast Safe Color’ filter.
It’s always better when you can get to the root of the problem though.

Lots of hardware!

First question – is your logo in RBG or CMYK? It’s probably in CMYK, so try changing to RGB and see if it helps.
If not, let me know.
