          I think in the last 10 years is a good number. Everything has been CGI since then, and it's also around the time penis women started being everywhere.
          But if you cant think of any, something since digital cameras became the norm would be alright too in my opinion

      everything was more intentional back in the day with more pre-production. they didn't have the luxury have not having good lighting, and you can't frick around with film. The filmed on location more.

    Unfortunately it seems like a lot of modern cinematographers and colorists lack taste. A more neutral approach would look better 90% of the time but they just can't help themselves and frick with things.
    Also digital is a little worse at color depth.

    This is a conclusion I've come to.

    Both for music industry and Movies, think about the dedication you had to put when there's was no computers, sound engenier had to cut tape with razor stich the shit together, same for movies, they needed more than passion to do it.

    Now fast forward to 2024, your fricking iPhone record in 4K and you can record guitars and multitracks from your tablet.

    So naturally this two industry are flooded with people that doesn't have the talent, doesn't have the passion, the result is clear, lack of quality at every stage because of delusional people that think they want to do what they are doing because everything is now very easy to "get started".

    Are light readings still a thing on film sets now or do they just approach everything with a "we'll fix it in post with filters" mentality?

    • 1 month ago
      Anonymous

      Oh no, most of cinematography hasn't changed at all since we were shooting on film. You still have to light the scene appropriately for the ISO you're using, which means getting out the light meters, and you still have to make sure everything's in focus which means getting out the tape measures. This is one reason movies take so long to make, particularly compared to TV. Movie sets tend to move really slowly because everything is usually done meticulously.

      We used to call it color timing, and it was as important then as the DI process is now. It's just that now we have better tools so we can do more and cooler stuff.

        I'm not talking about color timing, I'm talking about finalizing the color palette. Color timing's purpose was to maintain consistency, not change the entire look of the film in post like what is done with contemporary digital grading. People used to bother to coordinate the colors of sets/props/costumes and employ lens filters and stage light color filters so all the color was shot, not decided or changed in post.

      denis is obsessed with minimalism and futurism. The original set design was dense and textured while 2049 is minimalist and sparse because denis thinks it makes good mis an scene or some gay shit. muh loneliness etc. There are a few scenes that resemble the old blade runner. K walking up to his apartment comes to mind.
