The green, brown and orange color schemes came later. So they do this because it’s easier than actually constructing the color scheme before the camera? I’d see more movies if they had “real” color.

This is why color correction software has a guide to give you correct color saturation, regardless of race.

Completely agree on the rest of the article though.

Like minded people. I do like teal deal but it is being way over done. I watched Sherlock Holmes: Game Of Shadows recently and it was tealed to death to the point it was starting to make me laugh! But thanks for the explanation as to why teal au courant; to make flesh tones pop.

One primary color used with the combo of the other two primary colors is always striking: blue and orange (red & yellow); yellow and purple (blue & red); red and green (yellow and blue).
In the White Christmas pic, green and purple are NOT primaries.

Hollywood stylizing every new film to look the same. Where is the realism? How does this help the story? I’d prefer if he left the shots as they were without this commercial meaningless gloss on top of it… We don’t all see the world this way. Now with the push of a button, idiots like this think they’ve made something cinematic!

Fox News, CNN, sheesh even Dancing with the Stars and American Idol have a LOT of this neon like tealish-blue in the background. I’ve noticed many instances of juxtopositions of orange/blue – props in the background, peoples’ clothes, newscasters ties… I see this colorization in old movies, old t.v. shows….all over the place. Ok, posing a possible conspiracy…I think “they” are using the media as a type of conditioning to U.N. colors. No joke.

It’s funny, I randomly jumped ahead and got right to the part where they demonstrated the orange & teal oversaturated effect used in Transformers 2.

Just noticed, Rus, looks like your avatar isn’t immune to the same effect!

Those shots just look way too dark. I’ve noticed Adam McKay films suffer from that a lot, which makes everything look flat with no depth.

I wonder if these movies are adjusted this was particularly for how they look projected. Since film projected on a white screen looks different than video displayed on a tv which is much brighter due to its internal lighting, that might be another reason why these films are color corrected so poorly. Then they get spat out on dvd/blu-ray which scans the actual film stock, but they may not adjust the levels to be optimized for TVs. Just a theory.
