I think they used as many colours in 1920.

Green Lantern on HBO right now, this shit needs to stop

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".

Oh, hm, I didn't see any posters and control-f didn't give me anything. Must be one of those broken images?

Drive has got to feature some of the most blatant t&o I've seen lately, right down to wardrobe & set decoration choices.

Millsner, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 08:04 (twelve years ago) link

I'm loving the abbreviation "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

WheatusVEVO (Hungry4Ass), Thursday, 16 August 2012 04:20 (eleven years ago) link

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

WheatusVEVO (Hungry4Ass), Thursday, 16 August 2012 04:42 (eleven years ago) link

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

goole, Thursday, 16 August 2012 05:18 (eleven years ago) link

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

WheatusVEVO (Hungry4Ass), Thursday, 16 August 2012 06:44 (eleven years ago) link

Ya totes true

Author ~ Coach ~ Goddess (s1ocki), Thursday, 16 August 2012 09:13 (eleven years ago) link

yep. also drive was knobrot.

Hey you look great, have you been working out asshole? (dog latin), Thursday, 16 August 2012 09:34 (eleven years ago) link

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.

Hey you look great, have you been working out asshole? (dog latin), Thursday, 16 August 2012 09:36 (eleven years ago) link

unforgivable, eh

WheatusVEVO (Hungry4Ass), Thursday, 16 August 2012 10:32 (eleven years ago) link

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

Yes please, I'll have a pint, and another one for this asshole here (dog latin), Thursday, 16 August 2012 10:43 (eleven years ago) link

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

if i had a goat's cheese tostada i might cream myself a little (stevie), Thursday, 16 August 2012 11:15 (eleven years ago) link

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

caek, Thursday, 16 August 2012 12:29 (eleven years ago) link

i dunno, that screencaps from the trailer

max, Thursday, 16 August 2012 12:36 (eleven years ago) link

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

caek, Thursday, 16 August 2012 12:50 (eleven years ago) link

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

max, Thursday, 16 August 2012 12:52 (eleven years ago) link

ohh right

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

WheatusVEVO (Hungry4Ass), Friday, 17 August 2012 05:50 (eleven years ago) link

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

Matt Armstrong, Friday, 17 August 2012 06:13 (eleven years ago) link

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.
