Remember when movies used to look good?

Rich shadows, bold colors, and depth. But now? A lot of films and shows look flat, dull, and lifeless. In this video, I break down why modern cinematography feels so uninspired, and it’s NOT digital’s fault. Let’s talk about dynamic range, lighting, and why intentional choices matter more than ever.

What you’ll learn: • Why older movies look better than modern ones • How dynamic range & contrast affect the cinematic look • The role of VFX, lighting, and production design in the decline of movie aesthetics

Did anyone try watching Gemini Man in 60fps?

That takes some getting used to. It's hard to describe, it's like watching someone's home video. It doesn't feel cinematic at all.

Films and tv series should always be in 24fps. Anything above is just odd and like you said makes them feel like home videos. Back in the day I remember when I was looking for a new tv and the salesman tried to sell me a 100hz tv because the movies will totally look better in it. I told him that he doesnt know what his selling and left the store.
