Not in need of Teal & Orange
Since there doesn't seem to be a mega-thread for Hollywood cinematographic groupthink and tropes, I'll make a new thread.
Via Farren, I think, on a certain other social network
Into The Abyss: Teal and Orange - Hollywood, Please Stop the Madness
Quote:
Those of you who watch a lot of Hollywood movies may have noticed a certain trend that has consumed the industry in the last few years. It is one of the most insidious and heinous practices that has ever overwhelmed the industry. Am I talking about the lack of good scripts? Do I speak of the dependency of a few mega-blockbuster hits to save the studios each year, or of the endless sequels and television retreads? No, I am talking about something much more dangerous, much deadlier to the health of cinema.TEAL & ORANGE !!!
Numerous visual examples provided in the article.
(I realised the same colour aesthetic is quite prominent in the steelworks scene in Terminator 2. Where it's quite effective ... probably because not used all the time.)
And then ...

Sorry, but it was only a matter of time. We both know that.

This is pert near a perfect sentence.

My best friend's wedding colors were peach and teal. He's divorced now. Coincidence? I think not.

You have officially ruined movies for me.
So decided to sit down and watch TV.
Ice Station Zebra is on at the moment. It is 45 years old, and therefore safe.

You can do it if you're in the html group. Here it is using the officially-named html 'teal' color. Hit the quote button to see the code.

So I was shoe-shopping online today. I know which shoe I want, but I'm undecided about which colors to get.

Re: Not in need of Teal & Orange
Why Every Movie Looks Sort of Orange and Blue
The same message as other articles quoted, but notable for
from
Oranges and Blues — BoxOfficeQuant
And this
outrageous claim:
Quote:
One way to figure out what will look good is to figure out what the common denominator is in the majority of your scenes. And it turns out that actors are in most scenes. And actors are usually human. And humans are orange , at least sort of!
Excuse me,
fake humans are orange.
