Why does every movie now have shitty digital color grading and filters over everything? Old movies used to be crisp and sharp

>>212960198 (OP)
it's almost like they used actual film cameras then
everything's digital now

>>212960241
no, that's not it

I think people forgot how to light scenes. That and actors are now crybaby pussies that can't stand the heat, literally, of the lights. They're all shot to be chopped up into tiktoks or other vertical formats too. Even these two side by side show it off perfectly. Not being shot on actual film or even video has completely ruined all b-movies for me. They all look like SHIT.

>negates anon's claim
>refuses to explain why they're wrong
what is it then big brain?

>>212960198 (OP)
they also put blue filters in older films as well
fucking nepo babies

>>212960279
Nta but it is. It takes seconds to apply a digital filter, what are you doing to do with film? Manually apply piss to it?

Every studio hired a bunch of people to do "color correction" and now they're like "OH GUESS WE GOTTA USE EM!"

>>212960297
When i first started doing photography in 2004 they spend weeks talking about how to light a shot, even though Digital cameras already existed. I think youre on to something here

>>212960427
No, dipshit, it's called 'color correction' and they started using it circa 2001 with O Brother, Where Art Thou? and possibly with some Jason movie before that

>>212960498
I watched every documentary on those LOTR DVDs. Peter Jackson started doing it on TWO TOWERS and RETURN OF THE KING.
I blame Peter Jackson.

i hate color correction

I am literally watching an interview right now on youtube and guess what? Normal ass colors. It looks normal and i see that and go "yes, that looks like the reality that I live day to day".

Tinted or desaturated films just scream "not real. not real. not real. fake fake fake" every time I see them and they make me somewhat physically uncomfortable.

It's so fake looking, so why do they do it? I think because they can, and they see progress as linear and this is new tech therefore it's better. but also I suspect that they are scared of youtube and tiktok, so they try to make video that looks fundamentally different than that, so it stands out as a "cinematic" look. All they're doing is turning people off of film even more, accelerating the process.

>>212960598
Yeah, because Roger Deakins having someone else do it a year before Peter was was.

>>212960241
That's not it, anon. Goldfinger is famous for using cheap SFX like rear projection instead of superior in-camera effects like 2001 or Bullitt

the person in the bottom looks like they're reporting the person on the top to HR for an joke he made in the break room

>>212961006
*a joke
now everyone's gonna call me an indian

>>212960957
Yes that shot is against a rear projection but bonds face and lighting is still crisp. There are other scenes where you can see the optical degredation like the vignetting halo around the edges

>>212961052
True, here's a better example of weird coloring (this one is day for night in OHMSS)

day for night is annoying but at least standardized as a color option. You saw it as recently as the early 2000s as well.

As a 5 year old kid I remember in school one day one kid coloured everything in in blue, and the teacher called him out on it and made a point of it to us all. Why did he colour everything in blue?

Little could I ever have imagiend that decades into the future this kid would be treated as a visionary genius and turning all video into blue or green would form the basis of elite filmmaking production.

>>212961118
That's just standard day for night isn't it? Cameras back then were much worse in low light so you just filmed during the day and coloured it blue.

>>212961118
thats actually pretty good, barely any shadows, could be darker.

Meanwhile we got digital films like "Nope" using this and completely fucking it up with sharp shadows on characters faces.

>>212961176
its still widely used today.
