Do you ever modify the colors of your films? To see what they

>>83498631

The problem with fans "restoring" color is that there's no data there to restore. You would need to original, non-colorcorrected video (or at least the original chroma keys) in order to do it with any accuracy or aesthetic value. Instead what you get is fucking exposure and adding color filters that make it look weird. Like in your photo it's way too blue. The reds look like maroon or almost magenta. The shot looks over exposed, in an attempt to brighten up Superman's suit, the background looks washed out. It doesn't look any better but looks like some Deviantart photomanipulation.

The fact that you think color grading is a "filter" really tells me that I should not pay any attention to your opinions.

>>83498945
It is though.

>>83498813
While all your points are valid, the restored pick DOES look better than the original. And that's coming from someone who has both BvS and MoS blu-rays.

Why would you ruin the cinematic aesthetic? This borders on obscene.

>>83498631
Why do all the DC movies I can think of have that green smog over the whole movie

Bottom one looks less professional but better in general

>>83498631
No, but I sometimes turn the colour off.

>>83498813
still looks better than the original. also is washed out background worse than gray bury one? kind of a side not but maroon could be the way to go in the future, its clear that comic colors don't work on film but finding alternatives instead of turning it dark is the better option

>>83499600
Still doesn't have any sort of complex tones to it. I don't see why people think turning up the saturation automatically fixes this garbage

>>83499600

holy fuck, the bottom one looks so much better, who in their fucking retarded mind thought it would be a good idea to gray out everything, fuck.

I wish I could find a copy of the Matrix before they added the extra green tint in the blu-ray to make it match the sequels. I hate it, especially the iconic office building invasion scene and the scene where he talks to the oracle. Looks fucking terrible.

If you think colour grading is inherently a bad thing, you're a complete and utter pleb.

>>83499975
Dude just turn up the saturation lmao

>>83500046
Every scene has been recolored differently. The only way would be to either get the old DVD movie or for someone to manually recolor each scene individually. Some of them look fine, some of them look like shit.

People don't seem to understand that raw video may not even be an accurate representation of the actual colors. Cameras don't work like that.

>>83499511
All of them have Snyder working on them and he likes to do that weird color to give them a "serious" aesthetic. Which is funny because the Dark Knight trilogy didn't need to do that and managed to be much easier to take seriously than Snyder's films.

Holy crap, you totally just made me realize I HAVE that copy, in the paperback old school DVD case.

Honestly, brother I had no clue they even did the green tint thing, but you made me pop it in my blu ray player to call your bluff and there's no green tint. Keep in mind it's not a blu-ray, but if they added that green tint to it, I agree that is a stupid move.

>>83500446
Why not just invert ur dick lol

This.

I don't like the trend of ultra dark scenes. Even Pirates of the Caribbean 5 had a section that was pretty dark, and it is hard to see what is happening.

>>83500544
my 10th anniversary bluray has the green tint, FWIW

>>83500265

As far as I understand you can't actually look at raw photos or videos, any program you open them in will assign a color profile, even if it is one which is designed to be as neutral as possible. Then you can use the data within the raw file to adjust as you like without the losses of working with jpeg with baked in contrast and saturation

Yes, but I have mostly done it with my porn. A lot of porn is released with awful color and contrast so I do what I can do correct it before viewing, and sometimes release it for others.

Bottom looks like go pro footage

>>83503881
You've got that exactly backwards, friendo. GoPro's are desaturated by default, and old films always had vibrant hues.

I didn't know more people did it.

I LOVE to watch Tim Burton movies in black and white.

I don't know why, I feel like he tries to hard to make his movies insanely colorful and removing them makes it all more interesting.

>>83505185
Tries to hard what?

This is one of the reasons I like Nolan. When he shoots it looks natural and doesn't fucking mess around with the color. He's probably the only director who actually knows how to use digital cameras.

>>83505308
Tarantino?

>>83505185
I think his first film was Yung Frankenstein right? Maybe his shit just translates well into black&white

>>83505128
that's pretty pleb too

>>83500030

Turn of colors entirely for some film and you'll notice that they actually look amazing in ways you never previous appriciated. Raiders of the Lost Ark is a good example.

>>83498631
>Restored Color
That's not restored color you fucking idiot. Someone just increased the saturation of the original footage and made it look terrible and even more unnataural.

Speaking of ACTUAL restoration: there was an anon on here a month ago who fixed up the terrible grading of the scene between Superman and Lois in that white room. No idea what program he used but he actually made it look colorful without just doing the pleb way of just increasing the saturation.

If a scene like the opening of Die Another Day is color graded to give it a gritty feel then it makes sense, but Snyder REALLY went too far with MoS and a lot of shots look so "Noir" like when it doesn't make sense.

>>83506159

All you need to do to make the film look normal is turn the hue 20 degrees or so. You can do that in almost any video player these days.

>>83505527
That actually would make sense considering it's shot-for-shot ripping off 30's B/W serials.

I also dig some directors releasing B/W cuts of their film that are regraded just for that purpose. It's not just TURN YOUR SATURATION DOWN AHURR PDURRR, they know that grading it a certain way brings out different tones and feelings, and a good regrade can completely change the meaning of the movie.

>>83505352
If you were any good at interacting with people you would have detected that I was saying "That's interesting" in a sarcastic tone of voice, as if to mock the poster's questionable taste.

>>83506224
>a lot of shots look so "Noir" like when it doesn't make sense
Noir-like would imply heavy use of shadows and hard edges to give it depth/character. I'd fucking kill for Snyder to do that in these movies.

>>83507039
Drive is called a neo-noir film but I don't remember it doing anything like that.

Nothing to do with color grading. Stop acting like you know shit.

Also grading software is advanced enough now you can pull decent color from a compressed H264 stream, bluest is fine.

>>83503029
Meh. A bit.

>>83498631
I like watching TV shows and movies with a warm filter even if it originally used a blue filter. They're just more enjoyable that way.

>>83499975
The green tint actually served a thematic purpose and it never bothered me.

>>83508734
It did but it's weird that they went back and changed the first movie to match the sequels, when everyone liked the first one better. I don't mind it in some scenes but there are a couple where his stubble is just super green or whatever and it's annoying.

>>83499103
it really isnt, its taking the color that is already there and manipulating it, while a filter is adding color that wasnt there before you complete fucking retard

>>83498945

The physical on stage term would be filter. You know, like in live theater or photography, you filter the light in a way to change the color. Saying it's a filter is a term carried over from the analogue world into the digital one. They both mean color correction in photography, one is live, one is in post. So.... you're arguing semantics about whether someones opinion matters.....I think we know whose opinion to ignore.

>>83508790

It always existed in the first one. It just wasnt very apparent in all the scenes.For HD conversion they redid the green. It went from subtle to not noticeable, to just like halloween green ass. They definitely over did it.

This shitty "color restoration" is done for the same people that like movies converted into 60 fps because it looks "more real".

Why not just watch movies that were actually shot in black and white. They look infinitely better. A colour film that's shown in black and white will often look flat and lifeless, unless shot and lit with black and white in mind.

I do. You're right, but some colored movies worked well in B&W. Usually the ones who have some shadows and light contrast anyway.

They colored so many b&w movies in the 80s for no good reason. Some look really bad too.
