What Happened to Bright Colors in Movies?

Weil sich Sehgewohnheiten ändern – und mit denen auch die Farbkorrekturen.

Why do modern movies look so gray, washed out, and desaturated? In this video essay, we explore the death of color in cinema and break down how Hollywood color grading, digital cinematography, and post-production LUTs have made blockbuster films look dull and lifeless. From The Matrix and Game of Thrones to Justice League and The Batman, this deep dive analyzes how filmmakers use color (or refuse to), and how digital color correction and cinematic desaturation have replaced the bold, expressive look of Technicolor movies.

We discuss the evolution of film color grading, the impact of teal and orange filters, how gray tones became standard in modern filmmaking, and how visual storytelling has been lost in favor of “serious,” muted palettes. Using examples from The Wizard of Oz, Amélie, Suspiria, Barbie, La La Land, and Everything Everywhere All At Once, we show how color influences audience emotion, visual tone, and narrative clarity.

If you’re interested in cinematography breakdowns, film theory, color theory in movies, or want to know why movies look gray now, this is the definitive guide. Learn what killed color in film — and who’s finally bringing it back.

Koyannistocksi

„Koyannistocksi“ ist eine Bild-für-Bild-Neuverfilmung des Trailers zu Godfrey Reggios „Koyaanisqatsi“, bei der ausschließlich Stock-Material verwendet wurde.

Trailer for Godfrey Reggio’s Koyannisqatsi reconstructed shot-by-shot with modern, watermarked stock footage. A testament to Reggio’s influence on contemporary motion photography, and the appropriation of his aesthetic by others for commercial means.

Wie die Muppets nach draußen gehen

Wir kennen die Muppets in einem Studioset, wo sich die Puppenspieler unter dem Boden befinden – obwohl wir normalerweise unsere Skepsis ausblenden und nicht an sie denken. Was aber, wenn die Muppets mir ihren Körpern draußen unterwegs waren, Kermit in einem Sumpf sang, Fozzie Bär Auto und eine Gruppe Muppets Fahrrad fuhr? Das ging dann so:

Adam Savage meets RoboCop

Immer wieder schön zu sehen, wie zufrieden Adam Savage mit dem zu sein scheint, was er so tut. Auf RoboCop zu treffen, da käme auch in mir ein wenig der kleine Junge durch.

Adam Savage visits Tippett Studio to meet the original life-size ED-209 prop that was designed and built by Craig Hayes for RoboCop! Tippett Studio art director Mark Dubeau walks Adam around this hulking robot to show the secrets of how this prop was made and modified over its film appearances and reveal some easter eggs from its construction! It’s truly one of the most iconic robots in film history with a design that has stood the test of time
