Jordan Newell White Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 By April 2013, Fujifilm decides to stop manufacturing motion picture film, yet will there still be a lot of Fujifilm film left even afterwards? Like, even after April 2013 I can still contact a Fujifilm sales representative in order to get Fujifilm film shipped to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk DeJonghe Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 From what I understand, production has already ceased, stocks are being sold off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Newell White Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Well, most filmmakers, when they decide to shoot film, they end up using Kodak film, so should I be that worried that Fuji is ceased? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted December 27, 2012 Premium Member Share Posted December 27, 2012 You should be worried if you planned on shooting Fujifilm. Also I'm sad for the loss of variety as those Fuji stocks often had very nice aesthetics says me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Newell White Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Actually, I'm just a kid in college majoring in computer science that just happens to have an interest in the technical aspects of motion picture and television production, and while in the future, I plan to make digital and high frame rate content, I don't want to kill off 24 fps or actual film, because 35mm film helped influence today's digital cinema technology.

Site Sponsor Robert Houllahan Posted December 27, 2012 Site Sponsor Share Posted December 27, 2012 Digital HFR content? You mean Soap Operas? :blink: Very unfortunate decision by Fuji IMO and I am needing to get 3 or 4 rolls of Eterna to finish a film I am making, I sent an amail to the Fuji rep and no response yet but it is the holidaze.. -Rob- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Newell White Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 No, I mean Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy. He shot those movies at 48 fps, and I have a feeling more high frame rate content is coming, yet I still want to shoot 24 fps and Kodak film in the future, I think. You think I have a chance, especially in this economy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Newell White Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Oh, by the way, just where can I find the email for the Fuji sales representatives to discuss if there is Fujifilm left in their warehouses or whatever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Will Montgomery Posted December 27, 2012 Premium Member Share Posted December 27, 2012 Not to hijack this thread, but I saw the Hobbit in the 48 fps 3D format. It did look slightly more "soap opera" to me and I was much more aware of the flaws in the effects than I was in the original Lord of the Rings movies. Don't know if they cheaped out somehow on the effects or the new format shows flaws more but either way I wasn't happy with it. It did seem brighter than most of the digital 3D projections I have seen recently which is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
