Watching yesterday's show now...it looks like they might have very gently FilmLooked the new stuff so that it flows well with the old NY stuff. Hopefully by Wednesday, it's all gone completely.

But again, maybe I'm just "seeing" FilmLook in it because I was so used to seeing it after so long.

And good lord, Chrishell and Jamie are like twins.

I hope they doing apply the film look to the HD stuff. It defeats the purpose of HD. I want to see crisper video.

Oh, my GOD!

THEY ARE NOT APPLYING THE FILMLOOK PROCESSING TO THE PRECIOUS HIGH DEFINITION BROADCAST!

It's been written in approximately 32 languages in this thread and people are still obsessing?!

There was absolutely no filmlook in the nuWildwind LA scenes. IMO,let's hope it stays gone.

Hopefully OLTL won't use it when they move into AMC's former studio.

No, but they'll have bad lighting.

Chill. No one's obsessing.

I'm sure people are letting their agreement be known as much as possible just in case the scenes in Wildwind were shot quickly as a stopgap (without the "film look" processing) or in case JHC gets any ideas about finding a new way to implement the effect for HD. People are trying to make it as clear as possible: "We all like the pure video look. We all hate the 'film' look - so please don't ever even THINK about doing it again."

The City used a film-like process on its tape, but I do remember reading that they used film inserts from time to time in the early weeks/months. Then again, this may have been the SOD writer's misunderstanding. I was watching a bit of The City today as a matter of fact, and filmic processes on tape aside, I think what really made the show pop and glow was the lighting and the colors and textures of the gorgeous sets. Let's see AMC L.A. give Erica a set like Sydney's penthouse, that set would have blown your mind in HD.

I think they are. Thank you.

I had high hopes that Burke, when she moved from City to AMC would bring with her some of these innovations--(The City also did a good job with quick location inserts--maybe these were early on on film, etc?)--not totally of course, but a few. But no, we got nothing good from her run or new at all at AMC (the only positive I can say is the show still looked better than it does under JHC)

I saw no FilmLook so I think you're just imagining things Truth be told AMC's existing FilmLook process is a bit "lighter' or more subtle than what The City and especially the first few months of Sunset Beach used.
