Why does a low budget sword and sorcery b movie from the 80s have better lighting and set design than a contemporary $200 million blockbuster?
>>220973477the same reason every other low budget b move from the 80s has better lighting and set deisgn than contemporary movies. what I wasn't prepared for is the scriptwriter not knowing what the word "verdant" means. the opening voiceover literally talks about "verdant deserts", which is a fucking contradiction. so basically the 26 He Man is a movie by and for actual illiterates. it's like the Warcraft film.
>>220973477Because modern movies are shot to be as flat and boring as possible against a green screen so the CGI and color grading can all be done in post.
that movie looks like a moviei want my movie to look like someone recording an actor wearing a costume with an iphone in the dark (its called realism)
>>220973559>Because modern movies are shot to be as flat and boring as possible against a green screen so the CGI and color grading can all be done in post.This is the actual answer.
>>220973477we lost the ability
>>220973477talented people used to work in this industry
>>220973477because they actually have lighting and set design
>>220973477>Ah! Do you hear?>The alpha and the omega>Death and rebirth>And as you die so will I be reborn
>>220973477Not ashamed of the source material, but shit budgetVSAshamed of the surce material, unlimited budget, woke
>>220973477Made by nerdy white guys who didn’t waste a minute scrolling instead of obsessively honing their craft
>>220973477this is not a sword and sorcery film, it's a stupid fish out of water tale that takes place almost entirely on Earth
>>220973477Because it actually has sets, not just greenscreens.>>220973535It was burning deserts.
>>220973477Because now they outsource that to third world Indians who use AI prompts to adjust those things in post production
>>220973477>Why does a low budget sword and sorcery b movie from the 80s have better lightingBecause it did have actual lighting. There's no lighting in modern movies, for real. It's all post-processed.
>>220973477>Why does a low budget sword and sorcery b movie from the 80s have better lighting and set design than a contemporary $200 million blockbuster?Nigger, the lighting issue has affected every modern movie for decades now. It's all smudgy piss yellow and depressing blue.
>>220973477Because greed leads to the misuse of technology. Also low key is harder to render without noise.
>>220973535Or like the Warcraft games.
>>220973477The 87 movie was made by people who put their heart into making the best film they could in difficult circumstances. The new one was made by soulless corpos trying to exploit a nostalgia license.
