Do you ever modify the colors of your films? To see what they look like without dumb filters on them, or perhaps to experience a classic in a new way?

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.

It is though.

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.

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

No, but I sometimes turn the colour off.

You know there are ways to do this without it looking terrible.

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

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

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.

>a fight amongst smoke, debris and rubble
>bright red and blue everywhere

Nah m8. The rest of the movie was too desaturated, but here it actually made sense.

while your points are valid STOP TRIGGERING ME

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.

Dude just turn up the saturation lmao

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.

Fixed it

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.

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.

>watch it in a new way

Put a mirror next to yer laptop.

Makes old porn new again.

>mirror next to yer laptop
why not just invert the video?

>it's another colour filter autist episode

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.

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.

my 10th anniversary bluray has the green tint, FWIW

true, but it gives colorists greater control over the grading of the final product, right?

Where would I find the non green tint version?

POINT!

>t. nigger with no clue that pictures vs video are two completely different beasts

but then, you pobably hate MoS, so figures you'd try to make the palette asbland and general as possible.

Snyder has a great tone and atmosphere.

...

it still doesn't change the fact that it was a shit movie.

I always watch No Country in black and white. I feel it makes Chigurh's ethnicity slightly more ambiguous, among other things.

5/10 bait. Made me reply.

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.

Top looks like a film

Bottom looks like go pro footage

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

I think I tried once. I should really try again. Thank you!

man the harpoons

...

I can't remember any scene in that which was hard to see. If it's too dark that's probably a problem with the theater's brightness settings, since they play movies on a PC.

That's some interesting-looking porn you watch.

Big boob porn is interesting? lol

I was more referring to the fat fetish.

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.

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.

Tarantino?

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

that's pretty pleb too

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.

>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 user 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.

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.

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.

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.

>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.

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

I beg to differ. It's a little more understated but the influence is clearly there.

Hard light, heavy shadows.

left is my dvd copy from the matrix dvd collection (it was cheaper than the two good movies separate, and it included the animatrix), right is original version

I kind of like the green tint, it's something you wouldn't notice if you have never been outside of the matrix but could be there.

>original chroma keys
>niggawut.jpg

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.

Meh. A bit.

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.

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

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.

link?

That's because you are dumb. It's all about the atmosphere created by the lights and shadow.

Does he have chest hair showing?

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

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.

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".

haha nice

Is pic related you user?

Bullshit. There are plenty of directors that use it better than him. David Fincher, for example.

Those are actually his pubes

Post a screen of any movie and I'll "Restore It"

>showing off a filter
>with a 575x469 image
Kys your self

>he photoshops his movies

No joke I like to watch my movies in B&W. There's just something about it that works for me.

>tfw watching The Hunger in B&W

Mar-fucking-velous.

>It doesn't look any better but looks like some Deviantart photomanipulation.
Its both desu. Thats how bad the original filter was

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.

Please stop calling it a filter

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.

>that bad feel when you realise the version you got is the colored one

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

This

I dont understand what obsession neckbeards have with trying to make the colour as close to true life as possible

A movie is supposed to be like a moving painting, not some cheap iphone footage or reality tv show

Fucking idiots

You managed to make it bad, congratulations.

I read only the scenes taking place in the Matrix are tinted green.

never changed any, really. I look it at the way it originally presented. Wether the colours are was hed out or not.

orange/teal kino

I was working on a cut of Godzilla 2014 to trim some of the "fat" from the movie and make it B/W. with the exception of some of the red and blue from fire/MUTO eyes/Godzilla's atomic breath/etc.

webm or bust

I'll try and hop on my other computer later to post an example from the final battle, that's probably the best example of it I have.

The "Restored Color" version looks awful.

It really is summer
