Film grain is nice and not only a technical "issue".
- pmarreck 4y ago"nice" is not a rational argument, it is a qualitative/subjective/irrational one
- gsich 4y agoTrue.
- woodruffw 4y agoThis is why I, for one, only watch movies that have no subjective quality!

- have_faith 4y agoFight Club without the grain is irrational
- kennedywm 4y agoWhy is it nice? Is it that you're used to seeing it and its absence feels wrong? Wouldn't you become accustomed to its absence with exposure? I've found this to be the case for me.
- gsich 4y agoIt gives a movie texture. Compare Lord of the Rings vs. The Hobbit. Even bad (for todays standard) CGI fits perfectly vs. the clean fake looking one.
- aidenn0 4y agoAdding noise improves the perceived detail, which is important at low bitrates.
- eru 4y agoWell, to achieve a low bitrate, you have to fake the noise. That's the whole point of the submission.
- davidmurdoch 4y agoMaybe it's like photography. I can edit a photo of a landscape to look how it looks in person, or I can edit it to look, to me, how it feels to see it in person, or edit it for some other feeling, of course.
