[@L4nd0z]

it's a sitcom? or maybe it's to put your mind in a place to expect jokes n find them more funny...

[@soyitiel]

Maybe it's the difference in equipment. TV shows, especially the live audience ones, tend to film with several cameras at the same time to amp production speed, but obviously not several IMAX or Alexas. I'm also almost certain part of it is the frame rate. Even regular movies on TVs that automatically generate frames between the actual frames to technically be 60fps look really weird

[@adammcbride4128]

Lighting is probably a big factor. Do sitcoms have shadows?

Simply the taste of the creators of that movie. That is the look they were going for and they were happy with it. There are no overlords demanding something look a certain way. It is certainly not an equipment problem either

I was waiting for someone to cover this issue.But apart from the points in the video I want to add one more aspect that is Color Grading. A filmmakers obsession with Cyan color tone can be a reason. No blue is pure Blue, No white is pure white, No green is pure green. They're all Cyan...

[@movieluts]

Color grading makes a big impact! That was even more emphasized with the teal and orange look.

[@chujiwu68]

Thank you! I was waiting for the video to mention this. A lot of Netflix content, especially their movies (a few notable exceptions, as noted, notwithstanding) all seem to have the same color grading! It's not bad, in and of itself, but it is needlessly overused and gives a lot of their productions a generic look and feel.

[@watchmyepics]

Facts!!

[@BatmanHQYT]

Yup. And it's a specific look that's distinct from Fincher's desaturated, cool-palette aesthetic. Netflix's version is all cyan shadows, saturation retained, and a ton of exposure/highlights, and the result looks very "Instagram". Off the top of my head I can remember Dark, Baby Reindeer, Sex Education, Maid, Haunting of Hill House, The Crown, Queen's Gambit, Squid Game, and the last two seasons of Ozark all having that specific look.

[@peterfrank3365]

This is actually my biggest problem with 'Glass Onion'. Sure, it also has a weaker script than 'Knives Out', but visually, everything feels "plastic". In 'Knives Out', you could feel the light fog that clothed the Thrombey residence. You almost smell the leather on the chairs. In 'Glass Onion', the setting feels like the set of a sitcom.

Excellent, excellent video. You hit the nail on the head with the set design - it's not just the polished look of digital cameras, but the sparse sets, abundant close-ups, and general "lack of scene" you described that makes Netflix productions visually feel so plasticky and mass-produced.

The central idea of having a new movie to watch at every go is the biggest problem. Working with a subscription model also creates a void, as to keep the subscriber in you need to add in more ‘new content’. Movies need time, production needs value, the audience wants to watch 3 years worth of seasons in 1 go, something has to be sacrificed ‘Quality’ the larger the quantity, cut corners. You feel this particularly more in design (color grading, texture, feel, and motion)

You can also look at Furiosa and Atlas. Furiosa is a huge epic with a lot of costumes, set designs, and you see and feel attention to detail.

It's just part of the overall bundle of content and not just an individual thing and thus it doesn't try as hard to please.

Are we really still discussing film vs digital in 2024? Come on. This feels so 2014. This 2k alexa netflix thing is in the past at least for two years with the 35 and even longer with the lf. I don't even know if it makes a relevant point in 2024. Netflix is not as bad on shot sizes like TV was back in the day. Just think of how soap operas were lit and shot compared to any modern series... Although I agree that set their set designs look poor on some movies/series I don't think this is related with shot sizes, the problem to me is budget/amount of movies needed. I feel we are reliving that forties and fifties hollywood flood of movies that had to be released each week to keep people entertained but on digital and in a more massive scale. What really annoys me on netflix is the data driven agenda that they make sure to stamp in every possible "piece of content" in every genre...

[@dascene0]

@@HappyBirthdayMrPresident My point is that this discussion is useless. If you are producing a movie with a limited budget it's not smart to spend money in film instead of using an Alexa. It's not that I know more than your famous star directors, anyone working in the industry is happy to use film when they can, what I've seen in these 10 years sometimes is people running projects on film and cutting production budget on what matters just to have this little edge on look, if you can do it that's awesome but I'd say that everyone that isn't a conceited huge star director can't pull this kind of budget and shooting on film is just hindering the project for no reason. This film VS digital is a microscope on a technical side that most of the time isn't relevant, what you like about movies is not that grain, dynamic range or whatever aspect film is more pleasing. Watch a bad project ran on film to see if it saves the project. Today film is out of reach of 99% of people. To me this debate just sounds like it came out of college first year class on some empirical artsy bulls*, I just want to work with what I can, so yeah, I'm probably very out of touch with the famous director choices.

Okay so I agree that Netflix definitely has a general look that a lot of their stuff (especially lower tier shows and movies) use and it's pretty boring, but personally I don't feel like this video really actually gave good reasons for why this is. They focused on stuff like cameras and set design and (a little bit) on cinematography and framing, it almost completely ignored color grading and lighting, which in most cases (imo) are some of the most fundamental aspects of creating a "cinematic" image. Many of their productions use kinda basic lighting that is functionally good but not terribly interesting dramatically, and their color grading often goes for the general basic saturated and clean look that doesn't really give their productions any character. These factors to me are so much more important than what camera it was shot on or if it was shot on film (which they have had projects shot on film, for what its worth, including some visual references in this video). Also at this point, the digital vs film debate is just silly and to still imply shooting digitally is worse is just ignorant (most best cinematography winners are digitally shot these days). Furthermore, I feel like many of the visual examples you showed are actually some of their best work that goes away from the netflix look (or at least predated the generalized look of it and therefor were able to build their own beautiful visual styles). Shows like Money Heist, Sex Education, Stranger Things, and House of Cards all have great visual styles that don't feel like the generic netflix look, and The Crown is one of the most beautifully shot shows ever made with immaculate sets and costumes and stunning cinematography. If we move away from just the examples shown in this list, shows and movies like Mindhunter, Mank, Roma, Haunting of Hill House, Maniac, Peaky Blinders, All Quiet On The Western Front, They Cloned Tyrone, etc, all examples of great visual style on netflix that avoid or enhance the generic netflix look. Again, I'm not disagreeing on the point, just that the examples given in this video don't really explain it in a way that I think it should.

This thing about film vs digital is just nonsense according to filmmakers themselves. Even outside Netflix almost everyone is using digital.

The Creator and Civil War are two amazing theatre movies that were shot with cameras that amateur productions use. And they both look insane. The new consensus in cinema is that giant ultra expensive cameras are just not worth it anymore. Not only you can get basically the same image quality with something cheaper and smaller, but you can achieve more flexibility in your production with such camera because, they being smaller, means you can get away with doing scenes that were impossible before. You can just go handheld during the entire production, put the camera on a drone, etc. You just unlock a lot more options for creativity in filmmakings, and that's what cinema is all about... Not "being shot in film". Seeing a filmmaker saying that is just cringe.

I noticed a lot of netflix use the 'handheld shaky camera' technique, not sure what its called but as if the movie or series is being filmed by an amateur to give ut that youtube home movie feel to make it more edgy. It winds me up.

Like how Modern Family is filmed, but the show in question isn't a sitcom. It works for Modern Family, not for dramas or action etc.
