So when the teaser came out about 15 hours ago, people immediately pointed out that something looks off, especially RD's face and body.

The Art Director of the show then pointed out it was the improper conversion of 16-bit to 8-bit images that crushed all the shadows. Source: https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/04/art-director-for-mlp-movie-explains.html

"Shadows" in this context does not refer to the usual definition of an area where light is blocked, but instead areas of an image where it is the darkest. You usually see it together with Highlights and Mid-tones if you have tried image processing in Photoshop too!

So what I did was crank up the shadows so that those dark areas don't look so dark and make it more subtle compared to the brighter areas. And it took me only 20 minutes max.

Honestly this trailer looks amazing and I'm so freaking hyped. Save me!
