How we colorized The Lighthouse, Schindler's List and Citizen Kane. Movie LUTs & LR Profiles - movieluts.com Premiere Pro Color Grading Masterclass - course.movielu...
All modern black & white movies seem pretentious. B&W was a technical limitation of its time. The real world isn't B&W, so everything that takes place in the real world which is B&W is pointless and destroys any immersive feeling unless it is meaningfully mixed into the plot. It's understandable & okay for old movies, but not for modern ones.
I don’t agree to colorize everything, but from a technical aspect, this is great! Like in Citizen’s Kane, it’s kinda cool to find his tie was blue. I dived into colorization like a decade ago and learned a few things about the process while not from digital perspective but from straight film and it was really interesting.
I always wondered how old black and white silent movies would be like if they were made now in the style of a 2020s movie and Morden day colour audio movies as old silent black and white movies.
Is there a chance you could do this with Roma? Its one of my favorite movies of all time and I'm really curious to see what it would look like with color
I would like to see the colourized version of Schindler's List. All the people at the time saw WW2 in colour, I see in colour, I would like to see Schindler's List in colour.
I'm not a colorization fan either, but this video was intriguing. I wonder how Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless and Noah Baumbach's Frances Ha would have looked in color instead of black and white. Any possibility of exploring either one of those?
This isn't a real human narrator is it? I wouldn't have thought anything was off but "We'll apply our 'Her' LUT" at 2:14 jumped out to me. Like that's not how you'd read that cos in that sentence "Her" is acting as a proper noun, not a pronoun.
It is because when black and white is not actually black and white it is called grey scale, that is how old movies are colourized frame by frame very complex process....
Just a guess but since they said they were using an AI color tool chances are it is trained on millions of images on the internet and it takes its best guess. It probably observes a scene for some key elements like you said grass, sky, a sailors coat etc, makes assumptions based on what it’s been trained on and applies the colors.
I have sequence that I heavily despise in terms of color grading, the film im talking about "Pirates of the caribbean: Dead men tell no tales'' You see there is a flashback in the film where they went with a sepia kind of look, while in the early trailers it was a beautifull caribbean sea where the CG blended great with the background elements. In my opinion the flashback screwed itself over by radically changing the look probably to show that it was in fact a flashback and not something that happened mere minutes ago. But we as an audience are not stupid. My question to you, is that I have tried fixing the color grading so many times but I lack the skill and talent to do so. I was wondering if perhaps you could take a look at it and see what kind of magic you can bring to the screen with a regrade :)
Is there any way that I can get a copy of citizen Kane colorized from you, please? I always wanted to know what it looked like in color. And I have no way of doing it myself.
No it's not! It's so shitty looking with the bleeding colors that NOBODY with a brain would believe that this garbage is professionally done. Use your brain FFS!
I wish nothing like this would ever happen again. Black-and-white films were creatively conceived as such and don't need the color to suit modern teen sensibilities.

The Lighthouse ends up looking like a Wes Anderson movie.
Especially the 4th shot, with the little wooden shed. We used Moonrise Kingdom LUT for that one, so it doesnt’s surprise. 😅
Please do this for Sin City too. That'd be fun.
Added to our list
Cool video. Would’ve been even cooler if you included the scene with the little girl wearing red from Schindler’s List.
Thanks!
I love this channel so much
For that scene, you should make it where everything but the little girl's coat is in color.

I think almost everything should be dyed. I watch more old black and white films than anyone I've ever met, yet I still think they'd be better dyed.

Now make one where you turn color movies into black and white.
Would be a bit easier to make 😅

The gallant hours with James Cagney is a perfect candidate for colorization.
Where can I find whole films done this way? It would be wonderful to see old black and white films not only dyed, but colour graded! Amazing!!
It's not "amazing." These are mediocre!
@@m.j.c.6969 They look just like colour films

How does this technology know that grass must be green, the sky blue, skin peach-like color, etc?

@@mdnadiralam7377you made ZERO sense!

Softver for colorization?
But what about B&W cartoons?
Where did you find that Citizen Kane "tik tok" edit? It is so beautiful
We made it 😅
@@movieluts I wish it was longer. 😆Rewatched this moment like 10 times. Such a great vibe

Speak English
Orson Welles explicitly denounced the colorization of Citizen Kane before he died, requesting that Ted Turner not do it- so definitely a sin there!
No it's not! It's so shitty looking with the bleeding colors that NOBODY with a brain would believe that this garbage is professionally done. Use your brain FFS!

Me when:
I wish classic films can be colorized and re-released in cinemas!

"i spend my free time butchering classics"
Ok gramps
I prefer b&w movies. ❤
The only one with a convincing reason for shooting black and white is Spielberg, The Lighthouse would've looked better colorized imhb.
