eli5 why period films shot today never look old?

588 views

I’m watching Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and all the tv scenes with Rick look like they’re made to look old, but they don’t look the same as old tv shows. Why is this? Does the technology from the 60’s and 70’s not exist anymore?

Additionally to the expense of recreating the filming technique is that what you are used to seeing now is after decades of film degradation, which can be hard to mimic. In the 60s people weren’t thinking as much about preserving previously said tv shows. Desi Arnaz can be thanked for pioneering that idea.
