So I just run into this article by gizmodo that states that the film
"O Brother where art thou" (2000) was the first one using color grading.http://gizmodo.com/o-brother-thiā¦
How can this be the first one?
There's a bunch of movies that I can think of that had a distinctive color grade pre- 2000?

this guy also mentioned O brother where art thou
- ok this guy mentions that the term is specifically for when shooting digital, because they produce a flat image, unlike traditional film.Miguex
- Hmmm. This was interesting - I take a similar approach when doing renders/images. Make the renders neutral, then add contrast later in post.face_melter
- The grey flatness is something i see a lot of in architectural viz work. Makes for shit pictures (and film as this points out). Always bet on black.face_melter
- What arch viz pictures? That's my industry and I see the total opposite.formed

First to be full DI.
Films pre-digital it was all about the telecine to control colour and contrast -- then how you print to do funky things things like bleach bypass, reversal etc.

Tales from the Loop has great color correction and art direction in general.
