The major difference I think is film grain is usually black where as digital noise is usually white. But both show up most in the blacks, so digital noise being white in the blacks seems to take away from the blacks significantly. While film grain is like texture, much akin to painting impasto. Digital noise and even the quality of old VHS tapes and my mis-calibrated TV all have a certain general resonance if you want to call it emotional, psychological, or cultural, that you can invoke. Occasionally I get nostalgic for bad video... like David Lynch's Inland Empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
