Members lizhanglao Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 I used to be a regular ABC Daytime viewer since 1988 (when I was just a little kid). But over the past few years, I just couldn't take it anymore, with my favorites being pushed aside to showcase empty newbies left and right. But the last straw for me with AMC was their new and jarring film style they experimented with over the summer. It just kept going and going, but now I'm curious...did they stick with it? Or are they back to the traditional three-camera style. I know their ratings started to really plummet with their Laguna Beach wannabe soft lens.

Members alwaysAMC Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 The look isn't shakey anymore. It's 100% steady and it looks better than ever IMO. I prefer this to pre-July 2006 and the rest of the ABC look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 I agree, alwaysamc. The shakes are GONE and the show looks GREAT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DruRocks Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 I hate the look. It doesn't fit with the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 AMC's production values are horrible. Sound, lighting, wardrobe/hair/makeup, sets, set decoration, the starchy cheap visual appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 Well, the sets could use a little work but the actual taping style looks fab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members R Sinclair Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 I liked the shakey/film look combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steve Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 I love the new look. Unfortunately, it's the only part of the show I enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 I've seen public access that looks more like a film than this. I'm with Kenny, AMC has the absolute worst waredrobe, makeup, lighting, sets and now film style. Y&R looks fit for primetime and it's shot on video tape. Sets, lighting, etc. are what give you that film look, not a cheap hand held camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AMCHistory Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 AMC's production value went down the tubes with JHC. I know Jean Burke was pretty much a joke, but Pine Valley actually looked good under her watch. I hate this white washed look all the scenes have. Its like the lighting people are not even trying.

Members R Sinclair Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 Cowudders said the first thing she was going to change about AMC (being that she had a bigger budget to work with than the budget at Port Charles) was going to be the lighting. She said that she didn't like how the show was lit in this "yellowish" (her word, IIRC) light. Of course, in my lay opinion, it's what gave the show its flavor -- its look. OLTL has that harsh white light and dark shadows, and GH has absolutely the worst lighting on all three ABCD soaps, which is ironic since it tapes in a state of the art production facility in Hollywood, rather than a tight ass Manhattan studio. Then, of course, Carruthers comes along, and adopts that harsh, washed out white light for AMC as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
