Video

I have no idea how I ended up here, I'm a sound girl and I understand nothing, but kuddos for making this video.

La idea original era que ese reconocible color verde era una metarepresentación de la Matrix. Al estar basada en los ordenadores de los años 90, el tinte verde recuerda a las pantallas y las letras de aquellos sistemas informáticos.

Did Mann say “a city of 17 million people”? lol I’m so confused by that line. wtf is he talking about?

The Ring is a beautifully shot film

What camera did they use?????

scratches are cool, it's like a warped record... it's unique. Enjoy it.

gonna rewatch the ring now.

The war on vibes

This is another level of digging to reach the treasure! You not just found the recipe but also managed to get it across to a ton of us film enthusiasts. Thanks for the awesome work!

LOL I worked on The Ring as a digital effects specialist (August 2021 to 2022) and the team used color grading throughout the entire film. Might have to rethink your movie specialisation and spreading misinformation

I love to see people passionate. Job well done, thanks mate.

Great writing & great research.

What a great fucking video, you sir, got yourself an avid follower ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great analysis. I'm glad CZcams finally did me a solid and recommended a video I actually wanted to watch. I've always been fascinated by night lighting and neon.

Brilliant video. Thank you immensely.

Very good video, and on a nice topic no less. Great work!!

I watched the 4k one and tbh didn't like it as much as the bluray version. Am I broken?

GOATED

I never saw The Matrix in theaters, and I also never saw the bluray version, so when I saw the 4K bluray I was completely blown away by how good this movie looked.

You should have just asked someone in the film industry as this combination and its use on fallen angels is common knowledge. You can often tell if an adapter or secondary lens has been employed from the resultant highlight bloom where you have ligh being refocussed from one lens to another. But glad you had fun and got to there in the end. 🙏

Great job man! Thank you

Ahhhh i dont like it

What an awesome and absolutely beautiful essay on lighting and cinema. Thank you

You're right about Takashi Miike's Gozu being his best horror and you should say it.

All that effort and yet the movie looks terrible. If contrived could be a colour, it would the blue-green hue of The Ring.

17:45 "as Hong Kong slid into the grasp of the Chinese State..." You couldn't even mention that it is a Communist, totalitarian state? Shame.

Thank you for this wonderful experiment!

Thumbs up for the creator who scan their hard to find sources so more people can check them out.

how the hell you know what the cinematic version looked like

My older brother had a negative film when he used to work in the movie theater. I remember found it the bathroom looking at the part the agent dodging the pallets. Probably in a landfill

the art of old method filming

Terminator and Terminator 2 are other great examples

Your channel is so good.

Fallen Angels is one of my favourite movie ever in both its unique aesthetics and story. I thought that this movie would have been forgotten long time ago and super happy that people still talk about these days. Thank you for the amazing video!

I am no filmmaker, but this intrigued me. Then I hear the soundtrack from Inside and know I made the right choice! lol Great video!!!!!

I much prefer the original dvd and bluray version of the trilogy honestly. The color grading for the first one only enhance what the cinematography and art design already has, whereas the "4k" (which isn't true 4k actually but whatever). The 4k looks like the bluray copy got regraded and sometimes has weird turquoise looks that are frankly distracting. It's even more infuriating for the sequels which WERE digitally color graded, so when bill pope re touched them he compensated for it but it looks exactly like that: films that were re-graded. It doesn't look better or more natural, especially in films where the digital world is SUPPOSED to look uncanny.

compare it to 35mm film and not digital releases..there are a couple of 35mm scans out there relatively easily accessible

20:38 in my eyes it's not so close. +22 by magenta it's pretty darn heavy color shift. in that case you can shot everything on any film, and then color grade it in post. the main point is preserve a light touch of natural skin tone, but you didn't show any portraits on your film

im pretty sure that movie looks nothing on film like the digital copy you display here are those from the 4ks or blurays?

Too much WRWRWRRW sounds to me. I cant stand this sounds.

Very interesting. Thank you

14:58 Anyone that's ever googled cinematography details about any given film has come across an old post from this dude and totally marked out at his inclusion in this video

You are showing color graded blue ray version and claiming "no digital color grading was applied". This means - dislike.

Remjet is super easy to remove at home during development with Baking Soda ! Great video!

This is awesome, the coolest thing for me is that you got the filter pass correct, if you compare the originanl 17:07 cop car blue lights and the red lights at 21:13 , that's really hard to do in post processing as the wavelengths are unknown. This type of selective color filtering is so cool, I'd love to replicate this in graphics coding, it should be possible but non trivial I think. I also didn't know about pull and push processing, I actually love the push processing effect too. I know you put a ton of work into this video, I really appreciate it.

Well, filters are not a new thing, bud. If a movie didn't had color grading but a good photo and color by just the result of photography, then there's that, it was just a good work in the department of photo, simple as

The green look actually started with the Matrix. That is well known. The Matrix came out in 1999

I plays loved that look. thanks for all the effort!

Amazing effort that you put into this video and very Informative! Keep it up :)
