Color grading sucks

This is actually right. Have people seen actual, raw footage without color correction? Its dull and washed out AS FUCK

the trailer's colors make it look like it was released in the 90s. not saying that's bad, just wanted to point it out.

Early 2000s films were something else.
A lot of the technology that's pervasive everywhere now was new back then so directors went overkill and had no restraint when it came to using it.

Whatever autists? just go back to real film then. That shit comes cinema ready out of the camera.

That doesn't mean every movie has to have the same two-tone color palette.

Hey now, that's uncalled for.

Sometimes I wonder if it's a plot to ensure future resale value of these movies. Like 20 years down the road from now when 4k and 8k televisions have become standard they won't be able to sell 16k versions of these because 16k is a silly placebo resolution.

So what can they turn to instead to claim rationale for you to buy the new release?

"Oh, those crazy old studios used to slap a orange and blue filter over the movies at the very end of production, and now we have removed that filter so you can see the REAL movie as the directors and colorists INTENDED you to see!"

and they'll release a version with actual good color.

I like the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark trailer where it begins with a decent blend of natural colors and then turns into completely green and red.

It doesn't, you're just unaware of the pretty laborious process of film color correction.

>That shit comes cinema ready out of the camera.
You really don't know shit. Do you know what a negative is? And do you think film can't be further filtered?

The entirety of LOTR has extreme amounts of digital color grading while being shot on film.

bay was doing it like a full decade before the mcu was a thing m8. most of their movies are more like a greyscale fascimile with some purple lights here and there nowadays anyway

Even movies like Dunkirk, which was shot on 65mm film, are nauseatingly color graded.

Fuck that gay shit, I miss Technicolor.

t. didn’t see it in theaters

No, you've got it backwards. OP has it right. The blue and yellow look is a grading choice.

>color grading is actually making shit natural
No, that's color correction.

God I hate how they handle the color grading and the CGI in the MCU.

Early 2000's movies (Mission impossible 3 for example) still give headaches because of theses fucking filters/effects

you know what sucks? film grain. it's a flaw, minimize and/or remove it any way you can.

i realized it after posting it, i was too focused trying to spell NIGGER correctly with the right ammount of Gs and got distracted, sorry user.

This, I have permanently cranked digital vibrance (150% value) on my monitor for vidya and every movie for me looks like Fury Road, what's the big deal? Oversaturation looks better than washed out colors.

surely you meant MI2

DUDE BUT IT HAS SOUL

i saw it in the theater. the only thing i liked about movie was the sound design. everything else sucked.

I don't see how pointing out that Bay did it first is relevant or any kind of refutation to what I said, MATE.

Even though it seems like MCU movies are the only ones in the world there are actually hundreds of movies released a year and shitloads of them, perhaps the majority (especially anything labeled as action) have orange and teal color grading.

THE MCU's gray look comes down to a few things. Laziness. Unprofessionalism. Foolish people who "like the RAW look".

But probably most of all the reason it's a bland gray mess is so it will look like a bland gray mess on crappy cable/satellite receivers, youtube videos, and phones. A universal identical experience of blandness.

Then you wouldn't complain about the color grading, because only the bluray as the digital intermediate was digitally color graded, what was screened in (actual) theaters was not.

Calling the left a color image is a stretch.

The left part of that pic looks horrible, grey, lifeless and flat.

If you think that an over the top overly stylistic frenzy action flick should have a natural tame color pallete you're dumb.

grading isn't just turning one knob and calling it a day pajeet

well it is A color image

Because that's the last time this wasn't widely done. I was watching Pierce's films the other day and forgot how gray films used to look.

I'd prefer not to see pores, they're gross.

What I hate the most is when lazy filmakers think they can use color grading as an alternative for lighting and set design.

Game of Thrones startet using a blue filter to make every fucking scene looking dark and moody. And it looks like shit.
Hey, if you want a dark and moody scene, maybe adjust the lighting, not the color!

Indiscriminate smoothing for re-releases can actually destroy a lot of the detail in older movies, especially cartoons which relied on exact linework. The process mushes lots of close detail together to make things blurry.

Wishful thinking. The reality is even on big budget productions the color grading is done with all the finesse of a sledgehammer to huge chunks of the runtime. Sometimes barely surpassing simply checking a box to apply a pre-made filter.

And by the way i could see a modern Bible movie trilogy or universe work really well. You won't even need much CGI. I remember so many old Jesus and Bible films we used to watch in class and they were usually pretty kino, so i'm kinda missing that this "genre" isn't explored a bit more.

If the movie was done today the sky would be green and she would be yellow. There's a huge disconnect, I can't engage in the movie when it looks so artificial looking.

Spoken like a true retard.
Without color grading, digital footage looks like shit because the footage is SPECIFICALLY MADE to be touched up in post.
Saying BAD color grading is bad, as you described, would be adequate, but to denounce all color grading while saying that you want things to look more natural (which is also incredibly retarded since again, digital footage intentionally comes out more muted than natural) proves you know nothing about filmmaking.
There are plenty of great examples of color grading. OBWAT, 2049, Spring Breakers, and ironically, fucking MMFR come to mind.
Denouncing color grading as a whole just makes you look like an idiot who doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

Blade Runner OBVIOUSLY
Lawrence of Arabia OF COURSE
Vertigo has GOD TIER color

Fuck I’m realizing most really good looking films were shot on black and white film. Powell and Pressburger are based though!!! Everyone already knows about Leone and Tarkovsky and the list goes on...

It’s not even close to every film from the 70s and usually this is the effect of a diffused lens!!! Inside Llewyn Davis, for example, looked like this but idk if they did it in post or not.

Mulholland Drive makes the best use of this style

this is a forgotten reason as to why The Matrix was so popular. It was a very popular cultural conceit to associate the digital world with the color green, so the scheme really added to the film, but now people overdo the thematic attempts. Matrix got away with it because the movie was about a fake reality. But if you really want an immersive story that's set in the real world, color grading works against that

Watch high budget American cinema from the 70s!!! Coppola and Altman especially!!!!

Fuck when Breaking Bad’s later seasons did this for every scene in the desert/Mexico/the border I got pissed!!

That's from the flood lights. You can see them in the exterior shots (Filmed at night) also.

I think they made Mexico look yellow so the audience would think it was in a hot and arid climate

I wish Coens hadn't sold out with shit coloring.

absolute man of culture

Agfacolor was good, but it wasn't as good as Technicolor. Technicolor is the single best colour film system that ever existed, at least in terms of color reproduction.

they were in fact the first directors to utilize digital color grading with o brother.

>i enjoy it more for superficial reasons!
dammit Yea Forums stop

It's a fucking crime that we've abandoned 35mm screenings.
Ironically, digital projection was supposed to make screenings cheaper but it had the opposite effect. While 35mm projectors would last literally decades with just minor upgrades (like cinemascope or newer sound systems), digital projectors have to be upgraded every few years, and they cost tens of thousands of dollars each time.
What theaters are saving in film shipping costs they are paying several times over in projector acquisition, operation and maintenance.
The only upside is that it's easier now to project older films (as if any theatre even bothered).

I remember a note to the audience before the opening credits of three kings telling everyone that there wasn't anything wrong with the projection, the movie was supposed to have that washed out look for dramatic effect.
Now it's just taken for granted.

My local theater always has random one-off or limited screenings of older movies.
But yeah, I miss watching an actual film print. Shit was comfy.

Normies will never understand.

I almost cried watching Lawrence because it was so beautiful.

>Celebrating good visuals in a visual medium
I don't see a problem

Sweet Charity looks fucking amazing, I'll have to check it out, thanks user. I think the 1960's had the best cinematography. I LOVE the way Casino Royale, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls or the Batman movie looks. Mario Bava's stuff, particularly Blood & Black Lace, Danger Diabolik, Planet of the Vampires is sumptuous. Jess Franco's Venus In Furs is also beautiful. I guess I just like artifice and don't care about "muh gritty realism"

1960s had some of the worst cinematography

>all that hard light on color
I guess you're just being retarded on purpose to draw attention, namefag scum

Because orange/yellow is the closest thing to skin tones, and blue is the complementary color of that (opposite orange on a color wheel) That's literally it.

I was thinking about those clips and how the TV show Legion reminds me of it!!!FACT!!!

Ops forgot clip...!!!FACT!!!

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THE COEN BROTHERS?!? Their movies have looked like absolute dogshit for the last 20 years. Buster Scruggs was garish and fucking awful looking!!!FACT!!!

I don't know how anyone could look at the left frame and think "yeah, that looks great"!?!FACT!!!

I actually like both.

Filters can change how the entire film feels. It would be nice to have multiple releases or maybe in the future video file containers will have advanced options that allow certain effects to be enabled/disabled.

I really want a fellowship extended cut without the fucking horrific color grading they did though.

I'd say it makes Fury Road look cooler since the movie really takes advantage of its bright colors in a desolate world, most other cases I agree with you though OP.

>Why does almost every film shot in the 70's look like the camera guy just came out of a steam room?

DePalma is my favorite Director but his greatest strength, his style, is also his weakness. He used that soft focus perfectly at the end of Carrie, when Sue is going to the lot where Carrie's house once stood, because it was a dream sequence and added an aura to the scene. but because he's autistic he decided that he would shoot an entire movie like that!!!FACT!!!

How did I color grade my movie?

>Everything looks flat, phoney and borderline TV sitcom tier at certain moments.

Ironically Dean Cundey (The Thing, Apollo 13, Back to the Future Trilogy, Big Trouble In Little China) was the DP on Jurassic Park. I don't have a problem with it and actually miss that style to Spielberg's movies because I FUCKING HATE Janusz Kaminski's lighting. Sure, Schindler's List was beautiful but it was in black and white. But every color movie he's done with Spielberg is just a fucking eyesore with washed out monochromatic desaturation with terrible blown out lighting. Robert Richardson has a similar style (seen a lot in Oliver Stone's 90's flicks) but at least he cuts it with beautiful colors.

Kaminski's best work as DP was on the 1991 movie Cool As Ice!!!FACT!!! youtu.be/ryvHj2z-0BM

>>it's a CreepyThinMan ruins an interesting thread episode

Just like BBC ruins your mothers asshole!!!FACT!!!

I bought the new Predator blu ray partly because of this, not sure if it has the same shitty transfer as Ultimate Hunter Edition though.

>Yeah. Bloom and soft focus was popular. It also helped make actors look younger, like an extra coat of makeup.

Not surprising since Cliff Robertson was a supremely egotistical asswipe and probably insisted on it. DePalma didn't have anything good to say about him!!!FACT!!!

Which side am I supposed to like better?

this cant be real right? please tell me its a meme

you don't mess with T2 motherfucker, it looks great

>First Blood (1982)

It's funny that you mention First Blood. It came out the same year as Conan The Barbarian and that too has a natural look to it but stylized just enough for it to work as fantasy.

MTV premiered in 1981 and afterwards we started getting movies like Flashdance or Top Gun which had that music video/commercial style.

Tony Scott was the worst offender and his movies, along with Spike Lee's, are some of the most garish and ugly looking films I can think of with everything shot through a haze of smoke and filtered to shit!!!FACT!!!

a little too much contrast for my eyes, the whites are a little too much. Its still a massive improvement though.

This

It was Steven Soderbergh's Traffic that started that Mexico=yellow shit while the fucking moron had everything else saturated blue!!!FACT!!!

>muh color grading
You fucking idiotic freak, the DP is known for orange and blue. The movie just enhanced it by being shot in a desert.

This board is so pleb it's unreal. I don't even like that mad max trash movie. Color grading can look good and make many modern movies you wouldn't even know since 2000 look really good. The problem is trash cinematography like in Solo

This board is legimately full of the most assine fucking freaks known to man who talk about capeshit constantly. They have no idea what the fuck raw footage looks like.

And the same color grader for the Lord of the Rings trilogy did the Matrix 1-3 and also Harry Potter 3-8

>spring breakers and meme2049
Fuck off with your pleb shit, but you're right about digital color grading not being all "bad" like plebs meme

Blade Runner
Tim Burton's Batman
Return of the King
Inferno
Your Name & most Ghibli movies
Barry Lyndon
Dreams

Did you see it in a real imax, nolan likes using film, so it looks a bit more color correct.

I fucking loved Sicario, but I felt that they went overkill with the color-grading. I'm not sure why Deakins went with this look.

Looks good but "film" and even digitally recolored film stock is supposed to not look "real" but emulate a film that is essentially fantasy or fiction.

So you're supposed to essentially make it look altered and artistic and not real but you can make the color pallete still look real.

Shit, the left one actually feels and looks like Arizona

>Yellow good
>Blue good
>Yellow warm tone
>Yellow make intense ackshun
>Blue cool tone
>Blue make serious momint

Why does everything have to suck now?

So enhance the colors, saturate, give us a trip. Don't take 95% of the palette and run away leaving us with blue and green grayness.

Unless some serious shit is going down, the sky on a sunny day should never not be blue with white clouds.

>muh saturation
Off yourself already go watch marvel movies with their so called saturation that is just CGI puke and actual grey. Lighting a stage or set implies darkness existing. Any part of the pallete should and can be used as long as it looks different and is tailored to the tone of the movie.

It's partially TV settings. Manufacturers go out of the way to make it hard to desaturate the colors back to reality.

The right looks so much nicer

>I believe it's LCD's tech fault, low contrast, low black levels, harder to master the colors.
So you're suggesting OLED would fix everything?

most of it was ok, return of the king looks the most grand and spectacular.

Battlefield were the first to ruin their IP with this gimmick

Not him, I have an LED tv that is a SUPER UHD 4K HDR with nano cell shit or whatever. 4K content and lighitng looks amazing. Even upscaled normal content or digital like the prequels ends up looking nice.

lg.com/us/tvs/lg-65SJ8500-4k-uhd-tv

Fellowship looks more grand still because the locations are more vast and many.

rtings.com/tv/reviews/lg/sj8500
>When set in a dark room, the unremarkable contrast ratio and the disappointing black uniformity mean the SJ8500 render black scene very poorly and blacks end up looking more grayish than really black.
That's gonna be a no from me dog.

Women shouldn’t be allowed to influence anything.

Arisone is near mexico so instead of being yellow is a bit yellow of course :>)

God I fucking hate that. As if the audience is so fucking retarded that we can’t see a desert and tell that it’s hot and dry without making it look like the inside of a fucking heatlamp. Now every movie scene in any hot area looks like it was filmed through a cup of piss.

Never had a problem the blacks are something I've remarked have looked excellent recently when watching some UHDs. That's how I can tell the lighting calibration for the technicolor setting im using, the black are black black.

A shitpost such as that sad one on here shouldn't influence you at all to respond to it with anything other than laughing.

Shut up, woman.

Or maybe you have low standards.

>FACT!!!
based FACT!!! poster

True to the UK's Climate then

Nope, the set is nice. Just watched 2001 UHD version the other night among other movies and it looked striking with no lights on. The blacks are black and the whites can be very hot.

>I really want a fellowship extended cut without the fucking horrific color grading they did though.
Some colourist painstakingly made this themselves, it's really excellent work, google FOTREE_44rh1n_V3_v1.0

The problem is that they light everything just fine during the shoot itself, but go full-retard on the color grading just because they can.
That night battle episode of the last got season is a prime example of it.

Is this, perhaps, your first "FALD" set?

(I use quotations because I'm not even sure if a TV with dimming zones that cover the entire vertical length of the TV can be considered FA)
