It seems to me like its a similar problem -- the video is shot/edited/approved on high-quality monitors and tvs that can reproduce the full dynamic range of the video, but then compressed down to SDR which kills the contrast.
- epgui 4y agoWell, if we're talking about "House of the Dragon", there were a few episodes where they attempted day-for-night [1] production and did a horrible, horrible job of it. This particular f*ckup has little to do with monitor capability or dynamic range, and everything to do with poor judgment through multiple stages of the production pipeline. I honestly don't know how such a high budget production ends up with these shots. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_for_night https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_for_night
- genocidicbunny 4y agoI'm not talking about any specific show -- this problem applies to a lot of shows. I think what you're getting at is a little bit of a different problem; Specifically, the 'we can fix it in post' mentality.
- brokenmachine 4y agoEven in HDR on OLED some shows still look like they're filmed in a closed dark warehouse at night.
- genocidicbunny 4y agoYeah, there are definitely ones that just don't have great lighting, in any dynamic range. But that's a problem as old as film, whereas this trend towards having everything be lit like it's at the bottom of a well seems to be newer.
