I Fixed the Worst-Colored Movies Ever

[@VasudevAnandCVA]

Idk I thought Breaking Bad's yellowish colour grading is stylised and beautiful. At least it isn't bland or grey/ugly looking. Another movie where I think the yellowish look is beautiful is Whiplash Yeah but I don't really like the blue tint in Twilight

[@TheNinjasaurio]

I'm mexican and I don't find offensive the yellow filter, but it has become kind of...lazy way just to represent my country.

[@movieluts]

Understandable

[@3hxde]

its not 100% about mexico, in the show there is many different representations of things in color, mostly being in clothing and stuff like that. Yellow is usually connected to the meth business, and green being connected to his green and money and stuff. there was a whole video breaking down every color and its meaning in the show. This show had picked its color and color grading very carefully.

[@TTYLIG]

As a Mexican I think it’s kind of funny bc the way Mexico in breaking bad looks is definitely what it feels like sometimes

[@oo-bl5kx]

Do you mean with how hot it is?

[@TTYLIG]

@@oo-bl5kx yuh

[@RahulBUni]

The point of color grading in braking bad is to represent about the characters and scene they are in, in a way by choosing yellow vince and his team gave albaquerque and desert a certain feel to it and sets the tone taking it out of won't feel the same way.

[@lionheart4424]

I love the look of that corrected Twilight scene! Works amazing for the forest setting. I swear I don't remember that much "Mexican Yellow" in Breaking Bad. Oh well, time to rewatch it!

[@movieluts]

Thanks! Not too many scenes were that yellow, so maybe you forgot because of that.

[@RevivedRecords]

I've been trying to fix the 6th Harry Potter film but it's kind of hard since they put different filters on different scenes, therefore there is not one LUT for all of it. Appreciate your work!

From Art direction perspective breaking bad's yellow look looks really nice tbh...

[@thanospv6681]

The colours are way better as they are

[@vekktor_]

Yeah with "fixing it" it just looks boring and unprofessional

[@josephblaze]

Had me on the edge of my seat yet again! Another great video, Ivan!

[@movieluts]

Thanks Joseph!

[@BenjahLee]

I don't remember breaking bad looking that orange 😂

[@StopMotionWizard]

Me too 😅

[@adowaaat3983]

I don't remember Breaking Bad being THAT yellow

[@martindeleon9863]

I’m Mexican and it’s not offensive? How the hell does anyone come to think that a color filter is offensive??

[@mkk3a]

Sometimes I think, US-Americans find the yellow color grading more offensive than Mexicans themselves.

[@MercuryEchoes]

wow, edited version of breaking bad is sick

[@CarlBergsdorf]

Very interesting stuff! You did a good job explaining the steps IMO

[@movieluts]

Thank you! Glad you liked it.

[@AnotherRandomGurl]

I kinda like the blue CG in twilight, better then the orange one in the sequences, BUT the edited version looks pretty awesome

[@sentbycyberliferk800]

the edited version is too pinkish.

[@jerchongkong5387]

Its normal, since it is a compressed image it loses a lot of data in the color correction, if the original masters were available the colors would be more precise.

[@brunobilandzija1823]

Thank you! Amazing work! Some films do benefit from intense, stylistic color, but many are so overexaggerated.

[@SocialExperimentOfficial]

some people, especially Mexicans, could find this offensive. (proceeds to photoshop sombrero on the Mexican guy's head)

[@gemamoch1]

FYI.. Almost hollywood movies always use orange-yellow colors if there are scenes in underdeveloped countries like Mexico, etc..

[@VincentStevenStudio]

I prefer the originals of all of these compared to edits. The originals look color graded with intent. They give their show/movie a unique style. The edited versions look basic and boring.

[@HaveanOreshnik]

Gus fling surely had some "high ups" from DC that helped his business

[@WhoIsJohnGaltt]

I don’t know why but I really like color grading. I feel like it adds so much “character” to the scene. It does something to it I can’t quite explain but it think it adds not subtracts from the experience

[@RavikantRai21490]

Are your luts colour-management friendly? Do they work with colour-managed workflows or not?

[@valentine_puppy]

That was so good. I am so sick of this Green Blue Brown color grading garbage. Imagine if movies in the past did this? How terrible might they have looked? From Sound of Music to Herby Goes Bananas to Parent Trap. Just imagine 007 Connery with that green crap all over the scene or a Mexican Brown all over Willy Wonka and the chocolate Factory. It's NOT artsy it's crap!

[@synapticflow]

Please PLEASE help me! How can I remove or greatly reduce the orange and teal curse from my blu-ray movies? I want to copy them to a digital file and get this wretched look out of my movies. Can you help? I don't have anything but the free Lightworks right now and will probably get the free Davinci Reoslve to.

[@LibertyBridgeProductions]

I liked the colours in breaking bad but I still like what you did with it as well. Cool what u did with the others as well.

[@Andrefederighi30]

It's just a bit sad that the "fixed" version does not improve the movie at all. For both cases. It brings the "more realistic version" that does not help at all to tell visually a story. I'd prefer the yellowish version for almost 100% it is used when compared to the "realistic" version.

[@theretroupgrade8391]

The rgb step I find impossible to get to grips with. How are you adjusting colours in a black and white photo?

[@ap6160]

So, remove the original filter chosen by the director and replace with filters YOU like....got it.

[@oo-bl5kx]

You're completely misunderstanding the point of this video

[@dudetheman06]

I started Breaking Bad season 5 and thought I had missed a season cuz what the hell they doing on Venus?

[@trialanderror9004]

Do you mind me asking where you got the HDR Transformers shot? I'm interested.

[@bats9218]

said it before but ill say it here- you really do sound like an AI voice

[@StopMotionWizard]

It's a real person talking??

[@101-q6t]

I wish color grading didn’t exist or that it was used only minimally, I like to see movies without it. I kinda like the sepia tone for western settings, feels warm and retro. Transformers also wasn’t too bad with its color.

[@merakyraw]

Can't agree less to be honest, color grading is one of the biggest parts in creating a creative, emotional and cinematic look. It supports and allows the cinematographer to achieve what he was looking for, without color grading films wouldn't be the same

[@101-q6t]

@@merakyraw Every piece of media doesn’t need a filter put on it. People don’t need a color everywhere to tell them how to feel.

[@merakyraw]

@@101-q6t its not a filter but a creative choice, movies look like that for a reason, All quiet on the western front has a blueish predominance to feel more raw, harsh and war-like. There is not a single movie without a proper and thrughly thought color grading.

[@ArnoldTohtFan]

​@@merakyraw For the overwhelming majority of cinema's history, there was no colour grading. The most emotionally riveting films of all time come from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, when there was no grading. Ergo, it is completely unnecessary, and everyone using it as a “creative tool” is a talentless hack.

[@merakyraw]

@@ArnoldTohtFan it would be a massive error to affirm that movies weren't graded back in the day. The absence of color didn't mean color wasn't something they played around with, every single piece of clothing and background objects were careful selected to generate a contrast in the black and white stock. And in revelation they played with how the film stock was reveled to cause a sensation or another, adding or removing contrast, playing with highlights... that is also color grading. They even painted manually some frames to add deepness to the feeling, so no, its not a talent-less hack but a craft that takes years to master and that makes movies what they are today.

[@hoban7733]

OH MAN. I want to do this color correction for like... every movie in the last 20 years. It makes them so dated and unwatchable. I'm so sick of looking at cinema thru bong water and urine stains

[@QWERTY-do4qr]

This is why even lowbudget 90s movies have impressive visuals by today's standards.

"fixed" right bro. totally

[@Schizm1]

I know that BB is considered one of the best shows blablabla but for me, color grading alone was soooo exhausing on the eyes that I had to stop watching

[@Aether755]

Luts are filters on steroids

[@TheCjHEntertainment_Plus]

omg i dont even like Twilight and that makes it so much better

[@GeorgBateman]

Impressive stuf. I can't lie...

[@valentine_puppy]

Now not to be all negative here, One example of doing it right is Blade Runner. No not the new one, the Original one from the 80s. That one did it right.

[@DarkSentinel52]

honestly i really like original transformers look

[@DudeofHistory]

One of the biggest reasons I’ve never gotten into Breaking Bad is that I can’t stand the color grading. It drives me nuts.

[@leoironwolf2828]

Leave the transformer coloring alone, no need to fix there.

[@Arnell_Mediocrity_Long]

Breaking Bad is a Movie? 🤔 Edit: Either way, the corrections for Breaking Bad's colors looked better rhan the original...grest show nonetheless!

really not a great way to fix the colors, but I guess this is just to sell your luts.
