while this is cool, it's really just forcing a specifically art-directed look of the game(texture detail, color grading) into a dashcam-quality, drab color-scheme version. The game was obviously going for a more film-inspired color grading meant to give you the impression of a hot summer day in LA, not a cold German day seen through a raw ccd limited dashcam. cool that it's this fast though!

just saw the bit at the end with the broader dataset used.. that's more like it, keeps the vibrant color but does improve realism of things like road look.

Technically, Bentley calls it "Tiffany Blue". The color grading on this production makes it look more green than it is.

It is color graded differently. Heavier on the greens and blues before and heavy to the browns and oranges after. I'd guess to show the purity of their lands before the war invades. I'd also have to think the origin story will be half an hour or so before we move onto her adventures in WW2 land.

I think part of it is a conscience decision to make all Marvel movies have a similar feel, because they are supposed to be in the same universe.

Maybe they'll re-release all Marvel movies in some gigantic UHD Blu-Ray box set, and all will be remastered with a more vivid color grading.

This opinion that color grading can be 'right' or 'wrong' is pretty ridiculous. It's just a creative decision, if you don't like it get a job in vfx and work your way up over many years until people respect your opinion enough to allow you to make the calls, then you can tell them to make everything really saturated and contrasty.

the color grading is not cgi's fault, you're talking about creative decisions that George Miller made. If the goal was to keep the footage looking raw and documentary-style, they could have done the cgi that way.

Since you know about color, what did they do in Seven and Fight Club? I always felt they messed with the colors in those movies aswell, but it doesnt seem to be using teal/orange, more like yellow/brown or something.

Looks like shit.

I have an original cell from the 1st film, and love everything about Tron. This, however, looks like just another dumb pseudo-romantic "epic" POS, which abuses the ORANGE AND TEAL color grading crap that every other film keeps slogging.

The original Tron was BLUE AND RED. Not orange and teal! wtf?

Thanks for the education - but now you've ruined all future movies for me...
I didn't even get to choose between the blue pill or the red pill

Yes of course I don't like the colors.
It's not only because the original Tron was BLUE vs RED. But also because every film coming out the last five years or so has done the overused bullshit Orange and Teal color grading nonsense.
Look, before a film is in the can, it goes through a color correction process done on a multi-million dollar machine called a Davinci, with a colorist controlling the whole thing. This process is used to do corrections on bad saturation levels, making sure teeth aren't yellow, and making sure skies are blue. It's also used to heavily influence color, do tricks, and re-color shots in creative ways.
But, lately the directors have been going nuts with ORANGE & TEAL. Don't believe me?

This is the color-grading equivalent of a photoshop lens flare.
I've done massive amounts of telecine/divinci color correction sessions, and have worked as a color designer for many many years. Color is my specialty, and is the biggest reason why I ever get hired on projects. So when I see one of my favorite feature films of alltime being shit on by the easy hollywood hack system, I get a little offended.

I don't find the specific colors as annoying as the extreme saturation that's omnipresent in movies. It's more acceptable here than almost anywhere else. That's what people like, though. Show a realistically colored image side-by-side with a high-contrast, high-saturation image and the vast majority will say the latter is more realistic and more appealing.

Color aside, "dumb pseudo-romantic epic" is a pretty good description of the first Tron. Maybe throw a "goofy" and "corny" in there, too, for good measure.

Seriously, that's your criticism? You don't like the colors? The colors?

I have no idea whether this will be a good film or not, because after all, it's just a trailer. But I like to think I'd not pass judgment based on such a trite detail as what color the outfits were, the way an 8 year old girl might.

I'm disappointed, volump.

It's the inexpensive ($120.00) Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens. Great workhorse lens, really use it most of the time I shoot video on the 7D.

I shoot on the 7D with a preset called "superflat" that folks who love tweaking such stuff shared on the 7D channel @ Vimeo. It gives you a very low contrast slightly washed out looking video, which gives the user latitude to color grade, add effects and so on with out sacrificing picture quality.

Many of the shots I just adjusted brightness and contrast to my liking and on a few shots I adjusted color tone and added vignetting to the frame. The shots of the alligator and the hippos are the two I added vignetting to if memory serves.

Cool, thanks for sifting!

In the world of anime there have been 2 feature length productions that took it to a whole new level.

The first was Akira, which was revolutionary at the time because it was the first anime ever to fully lip synch and animate conversations, whereas before the characters were made to stand still while only their mouths moved.

The second was Ghost In The Shell, one of the first animes to blend CG artwork with classical methods. As well as one of the first to use CG color grading.

The third one which I did not mention because it's a personal choice is Millienium Actress. Which was the second anime ever to really move me on a deeply emotional level, and prove to me why film could never fully capture what anime could achieve. Before it was Grave of the Fireflies, which along with Bambi were the only animated films to ever make me cry.
