a lot of people complain about "shaky-shaky-zoomy-zoomy", and i'm one of them.
but there's one other rather common plague with quite a few recent films.
color filtering. why the fuck would they make the images look like this:

when they should look like this?

it's not that color can't be corrected. the problem is that most scenes are green
but some will be blue, and others will be orange, or yellow, or whatever.
so you can't just apply a single correction for the whole film.
you have to scan the whole goddamn film and take note of the timestamps
and adjust the filter differently with a bunch of trim() arguments.
and that's a pain in the ass.
"oh, but why would you wanna correct the color?
the director meant for the movie to look the way it looks."
i'll tell you why. because people's faces are not fucking green.
