Why aren’t people sweaty in films anymore
>>
Probably too hard to retake scenes without fucking the drop and look of the actors

Feel gimmicky too if it's overdone
>>
Why was everyone in a suit if it was 110 outside?
>>
>>198559869
Studios are air conditioned now.

I hated the Amazon Jack Ryan series when they were kept hostage in the desert and their clothes looked fresh, clean, and ironed for weeks.
>>
>>198559869
Sometime in the early 1980s makeup was invented so now actors don't have to be sweaty any more.

Polarizing filters.
Same gizmo that disappears reflections in windows and on car paint etc.

In 3D Modelling lingo they call that "Specular" bounce. If you want your 3D rendering to look more "real" and less smooth and fake, you add "Specular Bump Mapping" so the artificial light bounces off these little marks and noise and impurities to look more organic and natural. You can add different ones into the rendering/shader tree if you want oily spots too (like sweat). This is on top of maps that add the illusion of wrinkles and indents etc. They're very specifically about that "surface noise" and a certain kind of light reflectivity.

The loss of detail and verisimilitude (realness) from using Polarizing Lenses is most evident in low budget horror movies. It's why John Carpenter's output went from gritty/real to fake-TV-movie looking.

A horror movie where the MC can't get gross and sweaty in abject terror is a horror movie with it's nuts cut off.

Clint Eastwood started the 70s no/low make-up trend. Tons of make up before that. Big powdery and greasy stage makeup. 80s brought in a bit more skill and cinemas-craft to it. All part of the New Slickness of that era.

I get what you're saying and it probably does affect modern film, but 3d specular mapping has nothing to do with polarization and just changes the degree of shininess and its normal angle. Polarization filters only a certain "direction" of light based on its angle of incidence. As far as I know there is no equivalent in 3d rendering for this, you would likely need two extra channels in your map for the horizontal and vertical components to reflect differently (and possibly a tangent that differs from the UV tangent).

Hot lights (tungsten and HMI fresnels) are becoming less common. They are also increasingly softened and diffused which limits peaking (those little white glistening spots you see on sweaty faces and in food product shots).
Combined, this leads to less sweaty actors being filmed in ways that make the sweat less noticeable.
>>
>>198559869
it was a unironically a different time

actors didn't have air conditioned trailers. places that are warm 3 seasons out of the year actually required you to endure the elements. almost every man smoked and also had a drinking problem which means they had high blood pressure + poor cardiac health and would have an elevated resting heartbeat when its warm out

men did not wear stage makeup on film unless they were doing a chaplin/vaudeville kind of act because they thought they would look faggy

Predator 2 and E.T. made me feel steamy af just watching them on VHS back in the day.

Sweaty implies work or sex, two things that /tv/ can't understand.

I know Wake in Fright, >>198563721 and Mad Max, but what are some other sweaty kinos?

Have you ever watched a 70s movie? Not only are people sweaty but everything is so grimy and dirty it makes you sick. You can see the nicotine yellowed wallpaper everywhere. You can see the dirt, the trash on the streets.

I legit miss set design, whether it was just a curated real-location or a crafted fake set. Someone had to plan out what kind of junk would be in Doc's garage for example

It also leads to food looking like plastic, which it is half the time in ads anyway.

70s and 80s trash on the streets is lost aesthetic.
>>
>>198559869
Because the lighting isn't done with floodlights anymore. The old bulbs used in color movies in the 60's were too hot and cinematographers thought that the higher wattage bulbs in their films would pop the color more on the big screen.

What about television shows?
>>
>>198559869
Everything is shot indoors in a greenscreen studio with airconditioning.
Any sweat you see in a modern show/film is fake, they have an assistant with a spray bottle who comes in between takes and squirts it on their faces
>>
>>198563898
The 70s was basically mad max. You had people openly fucking kids, doing heroin, selling child porn, and ofcourse a lot of violence.
