Why Modern Movies Are Too...Bright?

Head to https://squarespace.com/rowanjcoleman to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code ROWANJCOLEMAN Have you noticed modern blockbusters like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania or TV shows like Game of Thrones look "murky" or hard to follow? In this video, I explain why the problem isn't that they're too dark—it's actually that they're too bright. In this deep dive into modern cinematography, we compare the practical lighting techniques used in films like The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers to the digital latitude and "grey-space" of modern CGI-heavy productions. We look at why the Battle of Winterfell failed where Helm’s Deep succeeded, and how "movie reality" is being lost to "real reality."
