I know I'm gonna take some flak for this but one thing that CGI definitely does better (at least when someone like James Cameron or George Lucas is doing it) is that it more consistently maintains the illusion of the background even in 4K. Matte paintings are painfully easy to spot in HD.

>>
>>220707026
True.
>>
>>220716094
Matte paintings are 100% soul and even a shitty one conveys far more aesthetic energy than any cgi background ever could.
In your example for instance all you can really parse out of the background is that it's some nondescript "busy" slop. There is functionally "nothing" there.
If it was a matte painting you would appreciate the artistry of it, even if you don't think it's "accurate", but with cgi backgrounds like this all you get is some muddy slop that your brain doesn't even process as "real" on any level. It's anti-soul.

>>220716094
Matte paintings are only noticeable if you're looking for them, otherwise the subject matter is extremely effective in drawing focus from it and making it completely unnoticeable. It's all about composition and where you draw the viewer to look.

I'm not saying that matte painting isn't good, but the medium itself simply has inherent limitations that make the illusion much easier to spot with higher quality footage.

Disagree, there is nothing that film can do that digital cannot. The decline in visaul quality is due to deliberate choices and film makers genuinely not knowing what looks good. The reason so many 70s-90s movies look good is because they combined the best aspects of classical cinema, such as strong, deliberate lighting, realistic camera positioning, theatrical acting, with color stock film, since the people who taught them made the classical films. Modern producers aren't trying to replicate the look of 50s high key, carefuly shot imagery like in picrel, they are trying to replicate instagram.

They are also spoiled for choice, since with drones, tiny gopro sized cameras, etc they can create whatever shot they want, but it ends up looking like a vidya cutscene, made worse by retarded color grading, depth of field and lens choice.

This statement is inherently false. Analog is by definition unlimited in its variations. Digital is by definition limited to its max resolution which is a set number.

There is such a thing as lost tech. Just do some research into the King of the Hill remake-revival. They were asked if they could make the new version look like the old version and they said they literally could not because the tech was lost.

Was watching Ivanhoe the other day and was struck by just how colorful it was compared to anything that depicts the medieval period these days. Compare it to The Last Duel or something where everyone is covered in shit and the entire movie is tinted blue for no reason.

Then you have movies like Ben Hur and Cleopatra that were made almost specifically just for the studios to flex their set and costume design. We're never getting that again.

That's cope. There's a reason movies shot on film will still use digital for certain shots and/or scenes. For instance pic related is from Red Rocket (2021) which was mostly shot on 16mm and yet they deliberately chose to shoot the night scenes on a digital camera, and it is virtually seamless from the rest of the film.

it's not just that. digital just looks different. digital records info differently so the transitions between tones are sharper and less natural and digishit has crazy high dynamic range and low light so they don't light anything and everything looks flat. Film also has better colors and vibrancy due to that roll off effect. Like with film each color is a separate layer, with digital they have pixel arrays that are either on or off

there's a thing called aperture or f/stop or in film they use T/stop but it's basically the same thing. old lenses, for the most part, fucking SUCK DICK when shot wide open. when you shoot something wide open there is a shallow depth of field without much in focus and it takes in a lot of light. most lenses usually aren't sharp and have weird artifacts and other problems wide open and it's even worse for older lenses. There are some really nice lenses from the 70s that look like dogshit flip phone cameras when shot wide open but look amazing closed down a bit. Back when they shot film, with the exception of things like barry lyondon or whatever they lit the shit out of the film and then shot with a very closed aperture which kept a lot of stuff in focus and made the image sharper. consumer cameras used to not be able to do shallow depth of field, you used to need a nice professional camera so shallow depth of field became shorthand for
>I'm an artist with an expensive setup
so modern films shoot wide open because new lenses can handle it and because they don't light anything and because

it's why iphones have that blur the background with AI filter.

Blurry backgrounds are an artistic choice that people have been using since day 1 of the invention of photography.
You're right it's controlled by aperture, but the whole "they lit everything so strong back in the day they had to stop it down so the backgrounds were sharp" is bullshit.
Here you go, prime example right here. She's got a shit ton of light on her yet the background is blurry. >>220718481
It was probably shot with a medium or tele lens to put emphasis on her. The blurry background is a stylistic choice to create background separation and focus your eye on the subject.
It's photography 101 and not a new thing. It's been a thing since the birth of it.

One reason you may notice it more is because modern camera tech is so advanced you can basically shot your camera in almost any lighting conditions (with nd filters) and use basically any aperture setting you like, so you can get a shallow depth of field even in daylight.
You have more choice than ever to shoot things the way you like and using good lenses that that open up a lot are great, so people who have them tend to abuse the depth of field instead of using it when necessary.

Every movie you've ever seen has used depth of field. It's part of photography/videography. I literally cannot take a photo without taking the aperture settings into account somehow.

Focal length will also chance the depth of field too or more have a large effect on how it's perceived. A wide angle lens will look less blurry while medium to tele focal lengths will have a lot more subject separation.

This isn't teal and orange, it's green and yellow which most modern productions use instead. I fucking hate the greenish yellowy tint everybody use these days. It's a fucking assault on my eyes. Blue/orange is at least a natural contrast to skin tones.

>>220725151
they didn't have to stop it down because they over lit it. they had to over light it because the lenses they were using in the 60s and 70s and earlier were dogshit wide open. you can go buy old lenses. it's not uncommon for them to start at f/3.5 and be totally dogshit unusable until like f/5.6-f/8

that's probably not even opened up. she's just physically close to the camera. you can get shallow DoF from focal length or if something is physically close to the camera. macro shots are shot at like f/22 or higher and have a shallow dof because it's close to the camera
it's why you will see people saying they can get a shallow dof with a certain lens and then they post a pic of a dog or a statue that was taken way close than a you would take a photo of a person

How sickening. Top is filled with warmth. Vibrant hues emanating from the cottage with top back lighting to extenuate the background. Then bottom looks like a tiktok video made in their backyard during covid. No lighting and cheap, out of the wrapper wardrobe.

It's not just digital vs. film. Inland Empire was shot on a damn 2000s camcorder, and say what you will about the movie, it has some really attractive shots in it. Everything in photography eventually comes down to lighting and framing.

I believe Leo said that they had to shoot the movie through 4 or 5 winters. They returned to shooting locations and expected for them to look a certain way based on the typical temperature and weather at that time of year yet things wildly fluctuated each winter. Apparently that tipped Leo off about the whole climate change thing and why he started giving speeches and producing documentaries about it. So the circumstances under The Revenant was made were atypical, I'm surprised the production companies didn't pull the rug halfway through it. On top of that Lubezki is one of the best cinematographers in the industry. If anybody he can make the most out of the "nigga with a camcorder" concept.
