If it's tangy and brown, you're in Mexico town

Where might that border be?

God I hate this. Few things will turn me off a show quicker than those ridiculous filters they use. I've been to Mexico, it's not sepia toned.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 hour ago

we need more shows with colour filters for other places
american filter, french filter, norwegian filter

Mexico is actually very colourful in the cities, it's really beautiful! US / Canada is concrete gray in comparison.

I think the US media made Mexico yellow to make themselves feel better tbh.

I first noticed this extreme in the movie Traffic, and it hasn't gotten much more subtle.

Its like the cinema version of brown-n-bloom from games of the 7th console generation. Filmographers discovered digital filters as a new tool so of course they are they going to use the new toy everywhere.

It's depressing how some of those games could have looks so colorful and great preHDR in consoles. Look to little big planet, or viva pinata.

Like JJ Abrams and lense flares

If you really hate someone, teach them to recognize teal / orange color grading.

There are places where it's used well. The Matrix, for example. Someone elseThread said Max Max: Fury Road, and I agree on that. Those are... at the moment... the only two that aren't abominations of decolouring, though.

I don't think the first three Matrix films are color-graded. The first one for sure is merely tinted. The process doesn't seem to exist before O Brother, Where Art Thou. At least it wasn't applied to whole films.

But yeah, Mad Max gets a pass for being all desert and sky. When someone has mango skin and key-lime eyes in a Miss Marple episode, fuck off.

The matrix green tone is noticeable more in the 2nd and 3rd to me much more than the first.

Yeah, and I like it!
