Does anyone have the scopes on Game of Thrones black point?

[Richard Herd] “What was the editor and colorist seeing?”

Snow.

Jon Snow.

Because, you know, Winter Finally Showed Up.

I would be willing to bet that exposure wasn’t the problem, and that there weren’t any crushed blacks in the whole program (before post production). It looked to me like they graded the episode to be that dark on purpose.

I thought it looked great. Lots of tension, lots of not-knowing, lots of always darkest before the dawn. The use of light, with the Dothraki fire swords extinguishing one by one, the blue glowing eyes of the Dead was well used.

I can’t imagine Producing, Directing, planning a show of this magnitude. It always blows my mind when I really stop and think about it. I am in the middle of organizing 5 :15 spots over 2 shoot days and my hair is a little more grey each day! 🙂

And just think, 8K and 16K are just around the corner.

I’ve been in many of folk’s homes who had their screens set to mud, and I know plenty watching on pads, so he has a point there.

I feel like I felt the way the director wanted me to feel watching it. Pretty amazing.

I thought it looked fine. BUT, I had good stream from HBO (sometimes their streaming quality can be really blocky) and I was watching on a plasma screen at night w/the lights down. I can totally see where people watching it on suboptimal TV settings and/or in a suboptimal environment wouldn’t have had a good a viewing experience.

Visually this episode was really pushing the boundary of what the creators want the audience to experience and what the typical viewer is capable of experiencing with their home setup.

I think it was a very brave decision by the Producers but I think it was well worth it.

Despite the groaning and whingeing by some people on the web, I think it was one of the finest pieces of television ever produced.

I watched it with my night-vision goggles.
