teal & orange.xls

No mention itt for Hugo yet? Watching this on Blu-Ray and for the first ten minutes I was worried my color settings got all jacked up and permanently set to "t&o".

It was fairly overpowering, even my missus who just shrugs when I go on about it commented on it. What I don't get is how someone like Scorsese falls for it. I can understand some young directors and DPs thinking this is a good look but someone with his experience and knowledge of cinema shouldn't fall for it. The scenes with the the flower seller could have been some gorgeous technicolor dream but instead were just this mush of t&o.

it was fairly obviously done to evoke two-strip technicolor of the period, which could range in color depending on how the film was exposed but was basically teal & brownish orange:

scorsese did something similar with The Aviator:

yeah that drove a guy i know insane. the red stop light being orange basically ruined the movie for him

i think drive's an instructive example though because, i mean, it's a very nicely shot film. it looks really good! the lighting is great, composition, all that jazz. it has a limited color palette but it's not ugly. it actually uses color pretty intelligently, to say something about the characters. i mean i get that everyone has little things that irrationally bug them, i have my own trends that im sick of, but you still gotta look at the big picture imo

it's funny i don't recall any of those shots looking like that. shit is ~subliminal~

i almost never notice it while im watching a movie - it really stands out in screenshots

Ya totes true

yep. also drive was knobrot.

also - so much orange and teal in Hugo - completely unforgivable for that kind of film. Maybe I wouldn't have found it so disappointing had it not had that in it.

unforgivable, eh

spellcheck told me that was the correct spelling... unforgivable unforgiveable hmmm... it underlines the latter.

i really honestly and truly don't mind the t&o phenom, i even kinda like it.

i already posted this itt but its so

tbf isn't that a film that switches between to colour schemes to make a plot point?

i dunno, that screencaps from the trailer

he spends half the film high on brain pills that make the world look funny

oh no that's from his new movie about plagiarism or whatever not the one about Robert deniro

ohh right

spellcheck told me that was the correct spelling... unforgivable unforgiveable hmmm... it underlines the latter.

i just wasnt certain if you'd seen my post about hugo upthread

got around to seeing Just Go With It, and as someone previously said itt, it's perhaps the all-time T&O champ.

Constant Gardner was very t&o. After I noticed it, the deliberate changes really stood out. Like they obviously painted walls and dressed the sets with t&o props to make it all conform. Which actually looked a lot better than some of these more recent movies that are just aggressively graded that way. But it's still dumb as hell.

This is far more teal than it is orange. I think I prefer it when it's the other way around, if we have to have it at all.

dear god

guy ritchie * tired old franchise / made for tv budget. can't see ray winstone growing up to become inspector morse, either.

that trailer.... eugh. all it's missing is danny dyer

^^^^ this was hilarious btw, pretty much could have locked thread after this

real qn: are trailers more blown out on the t&o tip than the features themselves?

would have benefited from a little more t&o imo (if you're talking about the new one), that movie looked like ass

Nolan is more of a grey&grey guy

has anyone done a funny orange & teal recoloring of a scene or stills from some classic movie from the '70s or something like that? would love to see something like that

that would be lolly.

This one's pretty quick and dirty:
