They are all variances of gay compared to Abrams' Trek.


Abrams' Trek was a big pile of lens flared poo.

So all the lens flare in Abram's Star Trek was actually realistic! The more you know.

By the time the lens flares came out, I was on the floor. Fantastic.

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.

This is far better than it has any right to be.

Proof that LENS FLARES are the movie equivalent of CAPSLOCK.

Ok, Sia's Just Breathe is now officially the lens flare of the movie trailer world.

Soo basically, you don't need any artistic ability anymore. Just point and click.


I don't think any artistic ability has ever been required to clone brush an object off the sky or remove lens flares.

Well, OK, maybe when there were no computers...

Amazing stuff, but... that editor needs to grow up a bit... lens flare, really... he added lens flare to footage of a space shuttle launch


I'm guessing you're talking about the sequence near ~3:00, and not the genuine lens flares during the opening sequences?

Amazing stuff, but... that editor needs to grow up a bit... lens flare, really... he added lens flare to footage of a space shuttle launch (well, the prelim anyway)? And some other bits and bobs demonstrates that while these teams take some amazing footage, professional editors they ain't.

OMG OMG, we're under attack by lens flares, camera artifacts and space debris!!!!!
And lets not forget cosmic rays impacting highly sensitive CCD equipment. Or unfocused and overexposed dust/ice particles in the camera or just outside the lens.

I must admit, some of them are pretty strange though.

^ Because galaxies are the only structures large enough to show up at those distances. Stars from our own galaxy that lie in the foreground of the image have a kind of cross shaped lens flare, as in this deep field image (bottom left quadrant):

I hope you don't mind me changing the tags. I tried to search for this with "5 centimeters" but couldn't find it.

Netflixed it last week and enjoyed it.

The first part was a little slow, but it paid off when the girl was still waiting for him at the bus station. The rest was good, too. Very good animation in my opinion, even drawing the lens flares.

I have really bad luck picking anime movies so I don't rent any until someone gives me a heads up.

This was worth the rental.

Proof that auto tune is the audio equivalent of the lens flare.
