I’m having a vision of a bright red and yellow planes spiralling against vivid green mountains….

Wrong. In the old days, they were shot in black and white 😤

The color = sepia. 😁

Just show them SPEED RACER. Now *that's* colorful!

We had a great time on that one, and yes my retinas were burning. 😆

Truly one of the most fun projects, and we got to be roomies again for a bit!

Had the wondering thought if someone walked out of Snow White in the 1930s and was like, "WAY TOO MUCH COLOR THERE."

Once told some one that flat dull colorless look is a trend and nothing to do with format.

They said "Where do you think it started?"

Film. It started on film. Don't believe me? Watch the first and last Harry Potter movies.

I’m thinking of Civil War, a film you would think would be muted considering its theme, but it is so colourful.

Most people don't understand color (and the lack thereof) as a narrative device. For example, I just watched "Run Lola Run" last week and it was explicitly stated that Lola's hair is a vibrant red to juxtapose a very muted Germany.
