Dude, teal and orange is all over that fucking picture. You can argue this is whining or whatever, but don't minimize the teal and orange MANIA to which we are all slaves.

I think the "teal & orange" thing is like when you learn the meaning of a new word, and then suddenly you hear and notice that word in print everywhere. Even though they were always there.

Except this "word" is a painfully overused one that was invented recently, and is going to date every fucking movie it touches.

ok maybe that metaphor got mixed along the way
and is going to date every fucking movie it touches.
I said that myself upthread. Can't deny that at all.

There are degrees of this, too. It seems like with romantic comedies that they like to make sure that there is a significant amount of orange and teal in a frame, and they just intensify the pre-existing tones. With thrillers, they drag all shadows and neutrals into cyan/teal (even if they weren't teal to begin with), and then drag highlights to orange. You can see this really clearly on the trailer for that new Liam Neeson movie with January Jones (can't remember the title). They didn't play quite as much with the orange, but all of the shadows and medium tones are teal in many of the scenes, even when it basically defies reason for there to be that much teal in any kind of realistic lighting in a setting where nothing in it is actually teal to begin with.

one thing that mitigates this problem is that almost all of the movies that are teal and orange fests are pretty terrible anyway.

that's the joke.
this thread is just full of high saturation pictures of things commonly found in films: white people, fire, the ground & water, sky and night.
etc. etc.
that dances with wolves thing is just the original image with saturation boosted.
― caek, Thursday, 17 February 2011 14:53 (2 years ago) Permalink
you mean pictures are made more t&o by increasing the amount of t&o in the pictures? mind blown
― a nan, a bal, an anal ― (abanana), Thursday, 17 February 2011 15:17 (2 years ago) Permalink
well, no, saturation != hue.
colour film of dramatic events and human activity have always been mostly teal and orange, on average.

ok, so it's not as simple as saturation but...
1) this is for the box art of a dvd, so who cares if it's been adjusted in some way.
2) where they needed to extend beyond the crop by adding sky they made it the colour of clear sky rather than an overcast day. seems like a pretty legitimate choice for a dvd box.
3) the sky is blue, not teal.
4) and the only orange is less orange than in the original. they've added some yellow.
this is an example of blue & yellow & saturation.xls. this is what i'm talking about confirmation bias.

Are people doubting that the teal and orange craze even exists? Or just saying some of this stuff does not belong to the it?
― forest zomby (Vasco da Gama), Thursday, 17 February 2011 22:15 (2 years ago) Permalink
there is a trend in action movies (e.g. the first post). it will be gone in a year or two.
most of this stuff does not belong to it, either because it literally isn't t&o, or it's a guy pointing a camera at white people/the ground/fire and water/the sky/night, and deepening the grade. if that's part of a trend then the trend began with colour photography.
