Is a Movie Palette Worth It? -- An Unboxing and an Honest Review

[@graceb697]

He 's finally getting those sponsorships!! C'mon Criterion get your act together

[@LearningaboutMovies]

I have been getting weird sponsorship requests for a couple of years. This is the first one I thought was interesting, and if I didn't like it, I would've said so and not handed out that promo code. As for Criterion, my efforts to contact them have been ghosted so far .... but they do basically get free advertising by me.

Imo "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 2" is the coolest palette because you have that strip of white at the end and you instantly know it's the king's crossing scene with Dumbledore! I never noticed how big color played a part in my movie memory until seeing these palettes and being able to pick out key scenes. Great way of storytelling with only color!

[@DrJoelDuff]

I know I've seen a movie palette at least 6 years ago. You may have seen it on my old blog interface. One of the rotating background images for the blog title was the movie palette for Wall-E.

[@LearningaboutMovies]

thanks. that means they seem to be surviving. I wasn't sure if it was a fairly new company with a huge marketing push. They are making that push in the last year or so.

[@ShaneRob93]

Sounds great. I'll get the 1993 film 'Blue', I'm sure that will be an incredibly dynamic and interesting color palette!

[@LearningaboutMovies]

You gave me the idea to put the Three Colors Trilogy together, though when I look at each of those movies as a movie palette, you don't see the red, white, and blue much. The Three Colors Blue does indeed look neat, though I am warning everybody (as I did in the video) that the pictures on the website are a bit brighter than the actual object will be.

[@ShaneRob93]

@@LearningaboutMovies I didn't mean the Three Colors: Blue, but rather the film entitled just "Blue". It's an experimental film that is just a blue screen with various sounds and voices for the audio.

[@StepbyStepPhotographyandVideo]

@@ShaneRob93 I LOL 😆

[@SuperduperBradley]

Videos like this that help you sustain the channel are completely welcome. And it was interesting to learn about!

[@LearningaboutMovies]

thanks. I probably won't put any ads in other videos, maybe just in the video descriptions. I haven't thought about my ad strategy much at all. It is true that KZbin by itself doesn't sustain hardly anybody but the top-tier channels.

[@SuperduperBradley]

@@LearningaboutMovies what about doing Amazon affiliate links for the movies you discuss? For the recent director lists, you could pile in probably 20 or 30 Amazon affiliate links in your descriptions. Plus, even if the person doesn't buy the movie, if they shop for other things and make a purchase then you still get paid.

I absolutely love mine!! I have a two bedroom apartment and my second bedroom is my office. In my bedroom, I have the Moulin Rouge poster (which perfectly matches the color scheme I have a bunch of Klimt reproductions) and in my office I have The Graduate. The pool scenes in that one POP so nicely and it does tell a story. It *is* a great conversation starter for any film nerd. 🤓

[@LearningaboutMovies]

excellent, thank you.

[@123rockfan]

I guessed Fellowship of the Ring. Kind of surprised it was Say Anything

[@QReviews412]

This was a great honest review!

[@LearningaboutMovies]

thank you.

[@prilljazzatlanta5070]

I was guessing the Umbrellas of Cherbourg but probably because it would match the decor

[@LearningaboutMovies]

heh. That actually seems like a quite good guess!

[@n_n_n_n_n_n]

Racked my brain trying to come up with movies that had intense color palletes, many they didn't have, but The Neon Demon and Argento's Suspiria did not disappoint.

[@LearningaboutMovies]

thanks. Yeah, looks like they will custom-make movies that aren't on the site. I am not sure about that process -- will you get a proof if you submit a movie they don't have? I didn't check into that. Suspiria looks great!

[@joncarroll2040]

Speaking as someone who likes movies and abstract art, these things are a waste of money and wall space. It's "art" generated by a machine that skirts the line of plagiarism by being just transformative enough. I can think of at least a dozen things off the top of my head that would make a better gift.

[@praveenp1369]

All best shots of movie would have had much better setting

[@C_Jj_G]

Halloween,Lion king, pulp fiction and 2001 look cool .. when I get some extra cash I may get jaws for my wife .. I really like the warriors too for myself

[@LearningaboutMovies]

interesting, as I would've guessed The Warriors would've been all black, but those color pops within it are neat. that movie really turns light red/pink by the end!

[@C_Jj_G]

@@LearningaboutMovies I was curious bc of all the gangs colors and the red 💄👄

[@SmilyLord800]

Premium or standard?

[@LearningaboutMovies]

That is the standard version in the video.

[@juanaltredo2974]

its not a terrible idea, but for me there must be a better way of doing this

[@Ian-ky5hf]

Ironically the dark part of Act one looks like the darkest part of the film.

[@LearningaboutMovies]

yeah, the party scene!

[@gage6209]

Reminds me of punch drunk love.

[@LearningaboutMovies]

the palette or the movie Say Anything?

[@gage6209]

The palette.

[@juan2049]

Someone with a lot of time and wanting to save money could create their own. Have it printed locally for a lot less

[@clumsydad7158]

that's pretty absurd, but kinda cool looking, in a mod art kinda way

[@LearningaboutMovies]

a good way to put it. I think there might be things we can learn from the reduction of a film's color spectrum to these pieces. Definitely a researcher could use a database like this and make findings.

[@m_i_c_h_a_e_l]

I wonder what a Chaplin film would look like - Just a grey slab?

[@rusty9719]

Def gonna pick up a few with your promo code 🫡🫡

[@LearningaboutMovies]

thank you.
