Premium Member Wendell_Greene Posted June 9, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted June 9, 2004 Cameron used four different film stocks and pushed them all two stops: Kodak 5284 Expression -- used on the night scenes on the Vegas strip aerials and the Devil's lair scenes. Rated at 1600 asa Kodak 5248 & 5274 - used on day scenes, pushed two stops to match the look of the pushed '84 Fuji Velvia Reversal - his favorite stock. rated at 200 asa More information regarding Cameron's lense choice, processing and his approach to lighting the commercial can be found in the March 2003 issue of ICG magazine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Worth Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Keep in mind that the BMW Films are straight to video, so there's probably quite a bit of manipulation performed in post. Watching films on DVD isn't a perfect representation of the look of the negative or print it is transferred from. There's always the possibility of additional color correction, scratch removal, grain reduction, etc. You can really shoot any stock normally and give it a completely whacked out look in post if you're going straight to video.
