'How Would Lubitsch Do It?' Podcast on Carmen (1918)

  Honoured to have been invited to guest on the superb ‘How Would Lubitsch Do It’ podcast to speak on Carmen. The podcast can be listened to here: https://www.movingimageagency.com/ernstcast/s1e06 José Arroyo

I finished the first episode of the podcast "How Would Lubitsch Do It" which was background info about the historical context when Ernst Lubitsch was making films. it was a discussion with Lauren Faulkner Rossi, a modern-German historian, and the podcast host, Devan Scott, who is a film writer and lighting specialist who is coocoo looloo about lubitsch. by his own admission lubitsch isn't necessarily the most technically brilliant in any domain as much as he makes films that make him, Scott, /feel/ so much.

I'd found Devan Scott because this video about why movies these days are so dark was shared by Todd Vaziri on mastodon (who is proving to be a really valuable curator of high quality film related material). I liked his one about the film effect in The Holdovers too.

The trailers for the various "seasons" of How Would Lubitsch Do It are so well put together i thought it was going to be a youtube series where i'd get to see clips from all these out-of-copyright films. (The first i watched was the most recent, The Code-Era Talkies, and it's so sharp! The one for the Pre-Code Talkies is great too). i'll admit I was disappointed that it's a podcast that has a presence on youtube rather than a video based project. nevertheless, i'm sold. I guess i'll have to watch the films myself and not get the pleasant experience of someone cutting together bits while they discuss themes. deeply in my early to mid 20th century film era atm i guess.

Why do the movies are so dark nowadays like the lighting in movies and even sometimes in shows are not the best like what happened to really bright, colorful films? Do you agree what do you think? Even costumes cinematography, etc. it seems like an ongoing trend for film to look more gloomy if that makes sense? Like in the trailers of wicked the colors just look off and muted.

It's a combination of things, anon, but it comes down to four big ones:

Movies are often shot digitally now, not on film.

Movies and TV shows are being colour graded by filmmakers on screens that are far, far better quality than any screen you're probably going to be watching them on, so they look better when filmmakers are finishing up the film in post-production.

Streaming simply does not have the same capacity that cinema projectors and blu-ray players have to transmit the visual data of film, so by nature of watching something through streaming, you're getting a low quality version of what you're watching, and

This is the big one - it's just in fashion right now. The aesthetics of filmmaking are always really just about trends, and on the plus side, I do think it's changing - a bunch of films this year from The Substance to Kinds of Kindness to Challengers all felt like a breath of fresh air visually speaking to me, so I'm hoping that we're seeing the fashion change with it. :-)

Cinematographer/Colourist/Director, Devan Scott did a great video on it here, if you're interested:
