Also, unless you're on hallucinogens or you're taking pictures with your camera set to the wrong white balance, your eyes adjust for the dominant light in the room in about 15 seconds. Bitching about "cold" light is like bitching about how much better one soda is than another. Yeah, there's a difference, but who cares? Not even you, after about 15 minutes.

I have more examples. These are not color-corrected in any way. They are simply teal and orange.

And my personal favorite:

Well, here's the first one. Sorry about the sloppy bb code.

Those are ace photos, especially the first one that appeared, but I don't see any orange.

um... seriously?

Um… yeah?

um

I am now nit-free, and you have done me a great service.

I understand and will completely concede the point that digital post-processing has recently leaned, in certain movies, and perhaps even as a certain trend, toward a blue/orange, high-contrast color palette. But it's not a color combination that occurs nowhere in nature, nor is it new, nor is it extreme, nor is it all that awfully prevalent. I'm seeing a lot more straight-up cold-ass blue in movies lately, with any red washed almost totally out of them, even when it's not part of the visual language of the film. It's just David Fincher fans who grew up to direct movies, and didn't understand that Fight Club was about fascism, and fell asleep in class during Cries and Whispers.

I read this as "tea and oranges" and thought it was going to be a Leonard Cohen thing. I hate the overdone warm/cool thing though. The new Doctor Who way overdid it. As did a lot of the early Harry Potter movie posters.

in my mind it is one of the defining clichés of the current decade in the way that lemon poppyseed muffins, and brushed-steel/glass construction sci-fi models were clichés in the last one. i'm glad we're over the whole chipotle thing, too.

that poster makes me want to kill everyone, and not even for the teal and orange.

Yeah everything about it is pretty terrible. Jason Bateman and those babies look like they're CGI.

and those robotic accessory ladies all "ha ha ryan reynolds, we are both so interested in you sexually!!!!" and ryan reynolds with his gurning goddamn mouth open like a fucking cartoon.

that is not an appealing poster

wait. who did say men can't change?

One of the scenes towards the start of 127 Hours was pretty t&o, but that was probably already mentioned in here somewhere.

As noted upthread, but this weekend's Who was a teal+orange onslaught.

but it looked great!

the teal and orange thing - is it like the end of history? after 100 years of cinema the formula has been cracked?

I'm browsing in images off so I can't check to see if this has been posted yet but

oh no!

Had a weird dream last night where i was on the set of a film being directed by James Cameron, i got invited into his trailer and i said "there's a thread on the internet about teal & orange, what do you think about all films looking like this?" He had some massive rant about how much work goes into the colouring of a film, got really angry at everyone. Then i woke up.

I did have cheese on toast before i went to sleep, maybe that had something to do with it?

was it teal toast?

Cafe scene in Deathly Hallows was v teal but went for red instead of orange (unless you count Ron's hair)

Errr stan - there is neither teal nor orange in that Carpenter working on the Hoover Dam, June 1942 as far as I can tell unless the colors are way off base on this monitor.

No, you're right, those colors weren't invented yet. These are their predecessors.
(I though the contrast was vv similar, even though not really teal or orange.)

eh, close enough

It's like Hollywood lost their colouring set and only had these two colours left out on the floor.

"You'll just have to use them 'til they run out and we'll get you another set" said someone in charge.

watched stuart gordon's dagon for like the 30th time last night, probably because it is my favorite movie by anyone ever (except for poor fernando rabal face-skinning, can't watch that). otherworldly T&O levels, contrasts udreamt by human film. <3

lol

note also that the teal lights on the floor turn orange when activated

Every time I see an establishing shot from CSI:Miami I think of this thread. That is the tealest, orangest show ever.
