We may have solved the mystery of why film just looks better

It just won’t go away, will it? However much you can prove with specifications that digital video is indisputably better than film, there’s a stubborn feeling that there’s more to it than the simple-to-prove facts. We think we've indentified one, subtle, process that helps film...

Re: I Saw The Light Today....

Not claiming the truth and nothing but the truth on this one of course dut what I watched was a very low light sample shot in a low light situation in a bar like environment possibly without any light setting and it certainly had all the ingredients which only VHS / NTSC can master allthough a mild ...

I Saw The Light Today Chinon And It Was Fun Good

Chinon New S8 HD Cam. Not much bigger than a Fuji Single 8 cartridge. http://www.chinon.co.jp About $830 or a little less in €. There were more fun stuff there too - a film cartridge like the Instanmatic 110? photo camera looking like the Kodak Photo cam cartridge using 16mm film for photo but...

Re: I Saw The Light Today....

To enlighten a bit; I saw Sony 4K cam and Sony 4K Tv, running 4K demo though. It looks no better than my Sony HJ10 1980x or something and the colour flaws in low light filmshooting (think of a pub) remiined me of old VHS imagery minus the contour effects but the colours in low light was really bad (...

ARRI Admits Digital Decifit Vs 35mm Film....

Re: Demos comparing 35mm quality to different digital camera

I think this kind of evaluation is difficult due to so many variables and all the personal taste for anybody touching the processing an evaluating the finished product - it will differ a lot and, what sort of equipment do you view the clip on?. I have watched the clip 3 different ways and here are t...

Re: Demos comparing 35mm quality to different digital camera

the film looks much better and seem to cover a wider range of high and low light. the look is by far more aesthetic. the digital/digital cams imagery looks more or less constructed/designed and look un-natural by comparisation. surely there may be more to get through digital/digital cam post process...
