i wanna know what's going on with tv cinematography this past decade or so? everything looks like it's lit as flat as possible, shot in log and re-lit in post - it all looks smudgy, undefined and dull was watching S1 GoT the other day... i like HotD but GoT cinematography is leaps and bounds ahead?

It's more complicated than just this, of course, and to do with the production pipeline nowadays and how it's changed, but from what I can tell: the switch to digital. Everything's lit flat because you can tinker w it in post, color grade it to oblivion easier + dependence on greenscreen/CGI etc.

I always wonder if it's a generational thing where an old guard of veteran TV/Film crews who came on the scene in the 70s reached their peak in the 90s and have since died off without passing on knowledge because the tech changed.

I assume they fired all the story boarders & murdered all the riggers in a sacrifice to the money lords

following just for this and thank you for the post
