Color Grading and Color Correction Article on FE

 (Edited)

Hey guys, we (well not me) are working on an article on FE and could use some more examples of Color Grading and Color Correction. See below for original post over there:

I’m starting to pull together some clips and resources to talk about color grading, color correction, the difference between the two, and the impact that a colorist has on the emotional tone of a film. I’ll use this stuff in the first part of the video before I go into the mechanics of how to change color.

examples of heavily graded films (intentional extreme color):
O’Brother Where Art Thou
Mad Max: Fury Road
Schindler’s List

examples of films that have been regraded after theatrical release (where “color correction” can be used for preservation purposes)
The Matrix
Lord of the Rings trilogy
The French Connection

Classic modern orange/teal examples:
Star Trek Into Darkness
Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen
The Imitation Game
Hot Tub Time Machine

More examples would be appreciated.

Y’know, the trick to being a successful stand-up comic is to keep your material fresh. Your material, my friend, isn’t fresh.

I suggest you come up with three new stock responses if you wish to stay relevant.

Stand-up comedy is mostly talking about dicks and chicks. I’ve learnt that thanks to Funny people.

Stand-up comedy is dumb. So is every post in this thread other than mine, Stinky’s, and Duracell’s.

Can we suggest outright bad movies? Batman v Superman: Death of Joy is heavy on the teal/orange. As is Suicide Squad.

Stinky’s contribution wasn’t that great either.

I think you’re misunderstanding what makes a post dumb. I’m not surprised.

You and imperialscum are two much alike.

Countless of futile attempts to offend me have been made around here and admittedly this is by far the best one.

Quick question TVF - I’m guessing this is the article that ThrowgnCpr was recently proposing to do over there? But I can’t seem to find the post that you’ve quoted above, so can you let me know what forum section it was posted on please? Thanks.

By the way, I haven’t got enough time to rant on about my own thoughts on the wholesale re-colouration of some of my favourite movies over the years at the moment (either deliberately by certain directors, or carelessly when transferred to blu-ray)…but there’s a heap of maddening info. to be going on with in this old thread for starters - www.originaltrilogy.com/topic/Movies-with-wrong-color-grading-UPDATED/id/15873//page/1
