      @kendrictonn hey, I've got a question for you, Mr. Artist, re this image. There's something about it that's quite arresting. Trying to put my finger on it. Something about the colors and the details. Looking specifically at her hair and face. It seems light, dark, detailed >>https://twitter.com/bigthink/status/1213315191338938368 …

      Your Netflix binge-watching makes climate change worse, say experts. The emissions generated by watching 30 minutes of Netflix is the same as driving almost 4 miles: http://bit.ly/2SSrPxg  pic.twitter.com/X8OftDUtbE

      Hmm. I agree there's something oddly arresting about it. I think what's doing it for me is that a lot of elements are combining to give it a slightly painterly quality? Explicated in follow-up tweet.

      I know that in cinema film there's a quality called "silver". Saving Private Ryan shot on film and did a special chemical process to leave the silver molecules in the film (normally they're washed out). This picture seems "silver" to me.

      > The retained silver increases the contrast and grain, while the reduced dye desaturates the picture. Sometimes there is also a slight alteration of color balance, usually towards cyan. Maroons and blues tend to go black.

      > Maroons and blues tend to go black. note that there's almost no blue at all in that image * black * white * brown / flesh * red * ...silver? also, I think that of what catches the eye is the combination of fine detail plush dark tone ; not normally found together ?

      Yeah, and the red is only barely still red. Both photography and videography are dark arts to me, but I presume this was run through a color grading filter in post-production. Which often feels thoughtless, but works really well right here.

      Replying to @kendrictonn

      yep, I realize that the MANNER in which it was achieved was as you say ... but the underlying EFFECT is "pixels of this color, pixels of that color", and that's something that could be presumable done with paint and brush and, besides, I care more about effect than technique

      Oh, def, I'm sorry; I'd be surprised if you didn't. I brought it up because it's something that can be done mechanically and thoughtlessly, but--cue Rakham--got something that feels really good here.

          Hehe I can feel myself wanting to reach for meta-discussion of conversational habits developed to suit the specific needs of Talking on the Internet, but it seems a bridge too far rn XR
