Remember when movies used to look good?
Rich shadows, bold colors, and depth. But now? A lot of films and shows look flat, dull, and lifeless. In this video, I break down why modern cinematography feels so uninspired, and it’s NOT digital’s fault. Let’s talk about dynamic range, lighting, and why intentional choices matter more than ever.
What you’ll learn: • Why older movies look better than modern ones • How dynamic range & contrast affect the cinematic look • The role of VFX, lighting, and production design in the decline of movie aesthetics
I can’t even get past the fact that the stories and dialogue in most movies these days are dull, flat, and lifeless to even have noticed the visuals are also becoming shit. Everything made for profit will eventually become homogeneous garbage as it tries to capture the attention of the lowest common denominator.
