All that color science just for some lazy editor to drop a blue LUT over it and make everything nice and drab and samey.

- dylan604 5y agoAt the directors approval
- threeseed 5y agoDefinitely not unique to video. People are happy to take a Leica camera and then apply the same Kodak Portra colour filter that every influencer seems to use.
- eropple 5y agoAn editor isn't the one who picks the direction of the color grading. A--wait for it--director is. The idea that an editor is "lazy" for doing what they're told to do by the director and DP is pretty offensive.
- dylan604 5y agoSome editors are chosen for their creative input. Sometimes it is the editor that convices a director, but it's often a collaboration. Editors are part of the creative team of a production compared to just a grunt level worker. The director, DP, and editor can all collaborate so that the image is conevying the desired feel to match the story and vision. Or so the theory goes.
- eropple 5y agoAbsolutely. But within epsilon of zero editors on a real production are just having it dumped in their lap without direction. It's a collaborative thing at best and the post to which I replied is the same sort of sneer-at-the-grunts attitude that makes people lecture the Starbucks worker for company policy.
