For years now, you've probably noticed that movies and TV shows have become darker than ever before. It's not just you. But why have color grading trends shifted this way, and is there anything we can do about it? Is it even in our control?

Filmmakers want to create the most cinematic images possible, and new technology has enabled them to do that in ways they never could before. This video hopes to break down what changes in filmmaking have led filmmakers to this point, and why these new dark color palettes are so challenging for us to view. I also go into the "what if" of how these could look with less-aggressive color grades, or how older shows might look if they were graded today.
