>>4037562On the occasion I'm not my own cinematographer I have to deal with button-pushing faggots always wanting to do do shit like that. This samey, unnatural, glaringly processed look with the orange and teal everywhere. Youtube gearfags have made an entire generation of filmmakers think that what looks good in a 60 second demo is the one and only proper look. Every fucking one of them films like they're shooting a fucking lens review and it's not even for the audience- they're just terrified their peers will judge them and they won't be professionals anymore if they break out of that.
>>4037572>the average person prefers the modern lookI don't think that's true. The person you're referring to doesn't examine movies or themselves closely enough to even notice what they actually like in that sense. If you were to ask them, they'd probably veer toward the phony, modern look because it's what they've been accustomed to think of as the Hollywood look, as what "real" movies look like, not because it actually resonated with them. There was a time when I was desperate for approval and learned how to superficially mimic the Hollywood look just to trick people into thinking my films were better than they were. I wasn't even doing it well, I was just giving them the cues they needed to accept it as "pro," and it carried me for years before I actually learned what I was doing.
