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
I think that’s mostly just because you’re not used to it.
Also 60 and 48 fps are a bit of an odd middle ground. I’d be interested to see a 240fps film. (also I bet it would make 3D look way better)
Oh look! A tech fetishist moron that looks at spec sheets when deciding on a movie to see. I hear Crap Furnace (2025) used a 64K camera that shoots 10,000 fps and has 40 stops of dynamic range. You should go see it. I hear it looks like absolute crap
Chill
You seem a little riled up.
For the record, I think framerate has nothing to do with the quality of a film. Art direction, script, and performance are what matters.
I stand by me previous comment though, not sure what gives you the wrong impression?
