My biggest complaint with Live Action Trek vs the two Animation shows is that they seem obsessed with giving us a black ship on a black background. It’s nice to be given a reprieve, even if for only one episode.
zephyrvs ( @zephyrvs@lemmy.ml ) English15•11 months agoI definitely prefer the darker version, it seems a lot less artificial. To me, the brighter ship looks rendered, as if I was looking at a video games’ screenshot.

zephyrvs ( @zephyrvs@lemmy.ml ) English3•11 months agoOh, thanks, I didn’t know that. I’m not much into the animated stuff.
On first glance it could’ve been from Picard S03 which had a similar aesthetic that didn’t work for me. Too clean, too polished, too much video game.
NuPNuA ( @NuPNuA@lemm.ee ) English13•11 months agoI’ve never understood the complaints about lighting on the new treks. We’re watching on big HDR enabled screens now, the lighting is appropriate for them.
Apathy Tree ( @ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English20•11 months agoTons of people don’t have HDR yet. It takes a while for tech to spread, especially when it’s not something many people are gunna go replace a several hundred dollar device for, nor is it necessarily a selling point when shopping for new TVs.
I thought my 4k smart tv was new enough to have it by default since I bought it in 2019, but it doesn’t.
NuPNuA ( @NuPNuA@lemm.ee ) English4•11 months agoReally, I’m on my second HDR enabled screen now and that was from 2020, the previous one dated back to 2016 and had it.
Rudis ( @Rudis@kbin.social ) 16•11 months agoMy tv is from 2012. It’s got colors AND sounds!
NuPNuA ( @NuPNuA@lemm.ee ) 3•11 months agoDoes it have smells though?
Rudis ( @Rudis@kbin.social ) 3•11 months agoJust checked - dust and warm plastic. I guess if I was watching Toy Story 2 or 3 it would be appropriate.
Samus Crankpork ( @Crankpork@beehaw.org ) English1•11 months agoMine’s from 2010. It’s got colours but I’m not sure they’re quite right, and it’s got some sounds (music and explosions), but is lacking in others (dialogue).
Apathy Tree ( @ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English2•11 months agoYes, really.
Maybe you are spending more than I am on your TVs, but even after it became more common it still wasn’t standard apparently. It wasn’t something I looked for or knew to look for, being one of those things that isn’t really a selling point for most people and all.
The only reason I even know mine doesn’t have it is video games, I just found out a few months back, and frankly I just set the gama high within the game and call it good. Been doing that for many many years. The whites are more blinding than they used to be but that’s about it. Frankly I assumed the problem was with the backlighting.
I just assumed the media issue was, in fact, a media issue (which it -abso-fucking-lutely is-! If you need a special [even if common] TV device format to correct for your shit production quality by default, ya dun fucked up your production, that’s on you, not the people watching it) and went about my day oblivious as always. :)
NuPNuA ( @NuPNuA@lemm.ee ) English1•11 months agoHow is using all the top level technology available to the visual medium “shit” production and not good production?
Even back to the days of TOS Trek was designed to look better on colour TVs when not everyone had them. Lo and behold, we all eventually moved over to colour.
There has to be a certain level of expectation on the consumer to keep their equipment up to date and to design for the best available otherwise things would just stagnate.
Briongloid ( @briongloid@aussie.zone ) English10•11 months agoI’ve had to download higher quality episodes as the lighting has made higher compression unviewable.
Holzkohlen ( @Holzkohlen@feddit.de ) English8•11 months ago100% agree. Still not as bad as the darkness on GoT. The entire damn episode was just a black screen.
FormerGameDev ( @FormerGameDev@midwest.social ) English1•11 months agoThe one shot with all the torches going out, that the lighting was perfect for, and it looks amazing on TVs that have super great black, like an OLED.
The rest of that episode, they should’ve TURNED ON SOME DAMN LIGHTS
MystikIncarnate ( @MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca ) English3•11 months agoLiterally a ship in space with next to no light.
The live action version is more realistic.
the extra light comes from the same place as the music actually
MystikIncarnate ( @MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca ) English1•11 months agoI see, the camera just has a sun attached to it then? cool. no problem.
beefcat ( @beefcat@beehaw.org ) English4•11 months agoNot just any sun, they use the sun.
It’s a huge inconvenience for people in Sector 001 every time they need to borrow Sol to shoot more exterior shots of the various ships for the historical documents.
inappropriatecontent ( @inappropriatecontent@startrek.website ) English0•11 months agoErr, wrong IP there, @beefcat. “The Historical Documents” isn’t from Star Trek, it’s from BSG.
beefcat ( @beefcat@beehaw.org ) English3•11 months agoIt’s. Galaxy Quest reference, and as we all know Galaxy Quest is one of the top 3 best Star Trek movies.

And the pew pews!
passinglurker ( @passinglurker@startrek.website ) English1•11 months agoThere’s these things called “stars” most planets with life on them have them very close by in the cosmic scale of things, and if you look up pictures of the ISS under one you’ll see it’s actually quite bright…
