Is stylized lighting really becoming a lost art?
The people who want to do it aren't allowed to or aren't in positions where can. The people in the production level keep demanding the 'cinematic blue' look because shit gets done by committee on almost every project.
it's probably a Solo: A Star Wars Story situation where the nepo staff don't know how to use the camera

Why would someone think live action Avatar is a good idea? Finding decent child actors who are also martial artists, and then good special effects to make it work would be a nightmare
The switch to digital cameras and digital effects led to an industrywide brain drain when it comes to lighting that is only now being noticed and worked to improve after youtubers and shit rightfully started shitting on everything. It's literally a lost art that has to be rebuilt.
maybe they heard me complaining about how the xfiles reboot series were too bright. i didn't mean just brightness dudes, i meant it was fullbright with no contrast. you need some shadows and some light! i thought that was simple
