Remember when movies used to look good?
Rich shadows, bold colors, and depth. But now? A lot of films and shows look flat, dull, and lifeless. In this video, I break down why modern cinematography feels so uninspired, and it’s NOT digital’s fault. Let’s talk about dynamic range, lighting, and why intentional choices matter more than ever.
What you’ll learn: • Why older movies look better than modern ones • How dynamic range & contrast affect the cinematic look • The role of VFX, lighting, and production design in the decline of movie aesthetics
Remember when the complaint was “Why is everything so dark?”
I think that’s a separate issue, and it was often dark and low contrast.
The Batman was impossible to watch. Too bad too.
Well, maybe not making everything with any set amount of lighting is better…
