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
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
Remember when Netflix attempted to add an option to watch movies/series speeded up? That's the pinacle of showing how much non of this is art for Netflix, strictly 100% content...
You barely mention color grading/correction and camera lenses which are arguably more the most contributing factors to the tone or look of visual presentation.
I had to cancel my Netflix because the cost to value ratio wasn’t there for me. They release a lot of mindless junk. The obsession with big name actors with shitty stories boggles my mind. I preferred it when they had a nice selection of broadcast ip, that I could binge.
Still prefer them to other streaming platforms for supporting creators worldwide and not just going for big stars/showrunners like Apple has been doing.
This is doing nothing more THAN MAKING ME LOATHE GEN Z AND MILLENNIALS MORE THAN EVER. Your comment shows there is hope but when you look at the plethora of mindless, "content creators," and "influencers" feeding into this shite, it just shows that Gen Z and Millinneals suck. The only quick fix/answer is to cancel Netflix.
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...
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.
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.
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.
Just like the 2008 Housing Stock Market. These movies will fall. They are putting too much money into them without receiving a break. Smaller independent Film Companies like A24 and NEON are actually doing great. TH-cam and other resources are allowing independent filmmakers to get their films seen. The reckoning will happen. Just wait.
You realize it has always been a business, movies get made because of money, if you want to point fingers, better include all major movie studios that focus on recycling ideas and take no real emphasis on the "art" part of filmmaking.
There is a lot of amazing Netflix content made by extremely talented people (there's also a lot of duds). Even if they devalued cinema a bit, I remember what tv shows and tv movies looked like before Netflix, and it's night and day. Considering the limited high quality cinematic experiences instead of endless franchise reboots, there are serious artsy quirky films I can watch from all over the world that Netflix played a hand in
This is doing nothing more THAN MAKING ME LOATHE GEN Z AND MILLENNIALS MORE THAN EVER. And comments like yours, cheering Netflix like a dumbass, just makes me and other cinephiles loathe your geek-seeking nerdiness even more. You don't get it. You don't want to get it.
It's ironic how your comment does nothing more THAN MAKING ME LOATHE GEN Z AND MILLENNIALS MORE THAN EVER. The plethora of mindless, "content creators," and "influencers" feeding into this shite, and dudes (probably like you?) eating it up, just shows how fellow Gen Z and Millinneals suck. The only quick answer is to cancel Netflix, but then again, dudes like you, who probably spend hours on Instagram and TikTok supporting your favorite "influencers" are what's helping create decay and trash.
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)
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. There was a time where I enjoyed that aesthetic, since the trend made Netflix's catalog feel like this cohesive, unified experience. But now it just feels soulless. Movies need texture and detail to immerse you in their world.
This video was the first time I heard Dune was somehow a Netflix production? It's Warner Brothers and pretty famously premiered on Max during the pandemic.
Kind of same thing is true for Prime originals, as all of their shows/movies look same dark color shade, where u feel like opening the brightness to 150% than 60-70% in general
The title is Netflix but the topic is digital vs film. It's like the digital camera was invented by Netflix. Even Martin Scorsese makes his films with digital cameras. The same goes for other titles.
If you believe then can you tell me if my Feature-Length film looks gritty. Because I tried making it look gritty even though a digital film. I see you're a DVD and Blue-Ray Collector. (I subbed by the way.)
It was a few years now since I saw The Irishman, so you might be right. However, I recall watching Killers of the Flower Moon and assuming it was shot on film, so I'm not so sure about that.
Woah now, that comment about best cinematography winners isn't correct: Netflix bought the distribution rights for Roma AFTER it was mostly finished -- they did NOT produce Roma! Similarly, though Netflix bought the distribution rights to All Quiet on the Western Front before production began, it was NOT produced by Netflix. Mank is the only one of the three that had Netflix Productions involved.
Sometimes what the algorithm recommends to me makes me scratch my head. Just because an actor is in another movie doesn't mean after watching a comedy I want to watch a horror.
Hey great video !! Could you perhaps let me know the track you used in the background in the end of the video ? Would mean the world to be if you could tell
Kinda out of topic. I think modern K-Drama is the only one who has similiar style as Netflix. Some South Korean dan Japanese movie too. South Korean TV and cable channels can produce the same cinematography quality as Netflix, and they also had several titles with good quality stories outside the love stories before Squid Game. I think that's what made Netflix decide to produce Kingdom and Squid Game so well even though both titles were just series.
Thats crazy you didnt talk about the audio of netflix shows. Theres something very different and noticeable in the audio mixing/mastering of some if not all tv shows by netflix. You can hear it in Outer Banks as an example.
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...
@@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.
@@pawehebda2583 Sure is. Notice how his voice varies in tone but only with a VERY specific range. That’s always the first clue. If by “this” you mean your comment though, I can’t be sure. Bots are so good at just keeping roughly to topic so I wouldn’t be surprised 🤷🏻♂️
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. Atlas is a hodge podge of ideas from elsewhere in a good enough looking package, but it's like watching a high level video game. 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. On streaming, you see more care put into miniseries, that's where the medium really shines.
While the smaller screens may have impact on set design and reliance on dialogue scenes, I think it's more of a budget issue. It's way cheeper to film two characters talking in a minimalistic interior, then a tracking shot on an elaborate set with dozens of extras.
The point of this video is to make people aware that there are films and there are films. Different type of art. Same with series. Also, respect the actors and crew, whatever they work on. There is no bad or good product, just a difference.
Anyone noticed the focus being blurry around the edges in a lot of films/shows recently? Not even just Netflix productions I've seen this weird gaussian blur thing happening in a lot of films recently but why? Seems like a cheap way of getting focus from a shot (seeing as the focus is not actually dynamic or reacting to the original source footage).
Lmaoo the first 5 seconds of this vid -literally the reason why I clicked on it; the preview started playing and I just had to double check I read that right lol
Great content! Never noticed the set design aspect. Painfully to say but makes so much sense, but I don't know, I just can't understand how someone would watch 2 hours of a film in their phone but ok.... Also, really enjoyed the whole Film vs Digital debate
They’ve taken some good films - particularly they cloned Tyrone, imo - and fucked them to the point that no one believes that they are cinema when they should have been considered as such
I got my first smart phone in 2011 and here in 2024. I have still yet to watch a film on a phone screen. I have always waited until at home and watch on my television screen. I haven't done it because it never seemed like the correct thing to do.
Because so many movies look the same now, I've noticed when folks react to older movies, they really notice the sound design, cinematography, lighting, camera movement/angles, practical effects, writing style, etc.... it really shows how younger generations 100% value the art of cinema & it's unfortunate that studios are so focused on "content."
I just realized why despite having Netflix I can only watch it a couple of times a week and I always go back to my old movies on Blu-ray and dvd instead. I’m visually bored. As an illustrator watching the same visual style over and over and over and over again as it happens with streaming , bores me to death. The lack of visual environments and the focus on close ups all time is not something that excites me that much. I prefer to go back to real movies than watch content. And I don’t watch movies on small devices either. That makes no sense. Tv or theater.
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.
You should do a video on why all the Canadian TV shows look different than the American ones back in the 90s. I’m assuming they all use film, but for some reason I could spot a Canadian show the second I looked at it.
Glad this video exists. When I speak with my friends and family they think I’m just complaining for no reason. I think they just don’t notice. Which is probably a better way to live tbf. I remember the Kanye West short movie for MBDTF and saying I love the colour grading and skin tones and my mate said I’m lost it looks normal.
Where can I find whole films that have been dyed and colour graded like you do?? I think it looks awesome. I watch many black and white films, but they would undoubtedly be better this way.
You realize that the Sony Venice you’re talking about have the same exact amount of color information right? LMAO athey are all CMOS sensors with bayer arrays, capable of 444 RAW. BTW stranger things was shot on the Alexa mini LF lol its literally featured in your video. Please do some research before spreading misinformation that confuses people.
Gotta be honest. It was never a thought. The only time I notice anything wrong is when a 4k/8k tv makes movies look like they remove the cinematic filter and it looks like you're on set watching the actors live.
That's your tv settings. Stay at 24 FPS, but there's a bunch of settings. Best to get a professional calibration done if you don't know what you're doing or it'll really get botched up. Using a tv right out of the box is bad.
why all movies and series now in netflix looks like a movie filmed in UK? for example the office in netflix looks weird nowdays, looks with strange framerate and another type of brightness and sharpness. while in HBO the framerate is good and the brightness too. i note this change in this late month and i hate it

What's the reason a movie looks like sitcoms?
We’re working on a video covering this 👀
it's a sitcom?
or maybe it's to put your mind in a place to expect jokes n find them more funny...
Maybe it's the difference in equipment.

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

You barely mention color grading/correction and camera lenses which are arguably more the most contributing factors to the tone or look of visual presentation.
Also the lack of creative lighting in newer productions.
Yeah, this video doesn't really have anything interesting to say about the way Netflix films look. Then again their A24 video wasn't good either.
Exactly. And also the way of shooting using natural light, the overall set dressing, etc.

To be fair, I feel like The Killer worked because Fincher's style fits in well with Netflix's visuals
I've actually been wondering this for a while so thanks for this video!
No shot I just listened to an AI voice read me an ad mid video 💀 we are so late stage capitalism.
3:39 I never skip to the next movie. I always watch through the credits. After all, it's part of the movie.
Lmaoo the first 5 seconds of this vid
-literally the reason why I clicked on it; the preview started playing and I just had to double check I read that right lol
02:54 I'm very proud that there is also Joyn, a tiny German "streaming" app
you have it really well explained, good job, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Great content! Never noticed the set design aspect. Painfully to say but makes so much sense, but I don't know, I just can't understand how someone would watch 2 hours of a film in their phone but ok....
Also, really enjoyed the whole Film vs Digital debate
Glad you liked it!
Korean dramas in general has amazing cinematography and set design, even on Netflix
They’ve taken some good films - particularly they cloned Tyrone, imo - and fucked them to the point that no one believes that they are cinema when they should have been considered as such
9:14 can't count how many times I've been in that situation
8:58 I had to re-confirm if he really did say watches 😂😂
Nice. Hope they light up. It is just dark to me and it hurts my eyes and then I am no way into the story or characters or anything.
Anyone know the beat playing at 8:33
That cat caught me off guard
Is the vo in this ai generated or a human?
Rebel Moon (DC) is the first netflix original that I've seen than looks entirely different. The color grade is amazing actually
I got my first smart phone in 2011 and here in 2024. I have still yet to watch a film on a phone screen. I have always waited until at home and watch on my television screen. I haven't done it because it never seemed like the correct thing to do.
Agreed, it just doesnt feel right to watch a movie on anything else than TV (or cinema).
The VHS era imposed similar constraints, maybe even worse ones.
Because so many movies look the same now, I've noticed when folks react to older movies, they really notice the sound design, cinematography, lighting, camera movement/angles, practical effects, writing style, etc.... it really shows how younger generations 100% value the art of cinema & it's unfortunate that studios are so focused on "content."
People watch movies on their watches????? What? Why would anyone do that?
Never seen anyone watch a movie on their watch lol, they are pushing it a “bit”.
I just realized why despite having Netflix I can only watch it a couple of times a week and I always go back to my old movies on Blu-ray and dvd instead. I’m visually bored. As an illustrator watching the same visual style over and over and over and over again as it happens with streaming , bores me to death. The lack of visual environments and the focus on close ups all time is not something that excites me that much. I prefer to go back to real movies than watch content. And I don’t watch movies on small devices either. That makes no sense. Tv or theater.
Bro New York vs California Los Angeles vs Georgia vs Florida Miami filmmaking which is better please make video
Just eat strawberry flavored ice cream, the other flavors won't work for you. You'll like strawberry flavor the best.
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.
I like Scorcese's quote, but I dislike the non-smart inverted comma before the word 'content'...
Man ive always hated how quickly netflix cuts off the credits. Totally tskes you out of that reflective stage
Very useful! Thanks for sharing it.
Glad it was helpful!
With so many choices I still feel like theres nothing to watch
3 years clean, I don't miss this service at all
You should do a video on why all the Canadian TV shows look different than the American ones back in the 90s. I’m assuming they all use film, but for some reason I could spot a Canadian show the second I looked at it.
Great video, unfortunate about the AI voice though. Hope there's a real voice in later videos
Glad this video exists. When I speak with my friends and family they think I’m just complaining for no reason. I think they just don’t notice. Which is probably a better way to live tbf. I remember the Kanye West short movie for MBDTF and saying I love the colour grading and skin tones and my mate said I’m lost it looks normal.
Saaame
Where can I find whole films that have been dyed and colour graded like you do?? I think it looks awesome. I watch many black and white films, but they would undoubtedly be better this way.
The worst thing about Netflix movies is the horrible writing 90% of the time. And that they always use the same actors.
Not loving the fact you've used an AI voice for a video about the value of quality over content.
Oh you have no idea when people ask me to show the finish product like miss ma’am I was trynna make cinema
I ALWAYS ASKED MYSELF THAT
I think the Irishman actually looks really good compared to other Netflix movies. But it’s probably because Scorsese is behind it
Is it just me or is the voiceover AI?
So many movies and shows are called Netflix originals but I just purchased after the fact so this does work for all
Dark is the rare exception. They probably cancelled 1899 for the same reason
A24 and netflix are modern digital camera movies so they look like that or they edit that way
Is the voice t2s?
You realize that the Sony Venice you’re talking about have the same exact amount of color information right? LMAO athey are all CMOS sensors with bayer arrays, capable of 444 RAW. BTW stranger things was shot on the Alexa mini LF lol its literally featured in your video. Please do some research before spreading misinformation that confuses people.
Cite your sources (SUBBED BY THE WAY)
@@oshapmoviesofficial my sources? The literal white paper PDFs of both cameras capabilities and industry experience
@@Dan_Yerlll So what, I was just wondering if you can cite your sources?
3:48 I caught the shade. The Roman Polanski name as the audience doesn’t think about what they just watched or consumed.
Gotta be honest. It was never a thought. The only time I notice anything wrong is when a 4k/8k tv makes movies look like they remove the cinematic filter and it looks like you're on set watching the actors live.
That's your tv settings. Stay at 24 FPS, but there's a bunch of settings. Best to get a professional calibration done if you don't know what you're doing or it'll really get botched up. Using a tv right out of the box is bad.
why all movies and series now in netflix looks like a movie filmed in UK?
for example the office in netflix looks weird nowdays, looks with strange framerate and another type of brightness and sharpness.
while in HBO the framerate is good and the brightness too.
i note this change in this late month and i hate it
It's because Netflix forces all directors to use a certain set of lenses and cameras
I knew i wasnt smoking something, every netflix original show has the same visuals
Why do you use AI voice
Is this an AI voice? I would be down to do some voice work for free.
Several years ago Netfilx made an Indian web-series 'SACRED GAMES'.
Which had a brilliant movie level cinematography and grainy look too!
But later...
