Eugen RochkoWatching old movies that were shot on actual film brings me so much joy now. Such beautiful colors. It’s downright relaxing. I’m tired of the over saturated digital look almost every new production has nowadays.
Dragon-sided D@Gargron So you're saying you want a "celluloid film" style transfer model... have you checked HuggingFace?
mmby@dragonsidedd @Gargron there are easier ways to make it look like that, you don't need style transfer - you can do that with optimal- transport tone mapping and optical transfer functions, like retro CRT-shaders for console emulators
@dragonsidedd @Gargron I'm primarily pissed off at the companies taking everyone's data and then rent-seeking with their result
the scientific and open efforts are great - because I don't want to be dependent on Microsoft or whatever to use foundation models in the future

@Gargron There's not any reason CGI has to be oversaturated like that. Maybe it's a fad that will soon mercifully die.
Kyle Stewart@Gargron I watched a movie called Black Narcissus (1947) a few months back and was so struck by the color. Love the Technicolor!
James BrittPowell and Pressburger films have That Look. Cinematography by Jack Cardiff.
"The Red Shoes" is one of my favorite films. Just looks so stunning.
@jamesbritt @Gargron added it to my watch list, thanks!
@jamesbritt @Gargron Finished The Red Shoes today. Excellent movie, though it took me embarrassingly long to realize that Lermontov was Vickie's me taphorical red shoes.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Peggy Heinkel-Wolfe@Gargron the old ones really are gorgeous
Sebastiaan Hekman@Gargron Like "listening to music on vinyl"?
Raindrops and Roses
Jason Zheng@Gargron absolutely !
Alex | アレックス@Gargron the digital look is honestly a choice. Proper filmography and shooting intent can have the same results as stuff shot on film.
Less about the tools and more how they’re being used. You’d be surprised how many gorgeous, film looking productions were actually all digital. Though they are overpowered by over sharpened/clean stuff being pumped out.
TΞX@Gargron this is more a color grading trend than a digital problem, of course digital allow more ease and possibilities in color grading that tend to this trend, but there are some fine color graded digital movies too. And there were ugly color graded analogical movies too in the past . That said, i agree that this current trend is boring :)
DanDaDan@Gargron I watch a lot of Arrow Video and getting to see 70s/80s Italian Giallo in 4k but with film gran intact looks stunning. Much nicer than a clean digital look.
