I was wondering if anyone had any experience finishing in b + w from the vision2 super 16 color negatives. I'm directing a 20 minute narrative short that has a very strong emphasis on classical black and white compositions (contrasty, crushed blacks, creamy whites, etc.) Think 50's / 60's Fellini, Antonioni, etc.
I am very torn, however, because my DP has showed me Plus-X footage he shot on the same SR3 that I absolutely love, yet I'm not as interested in the grain- basically I strving for 35mm quality b + w out of super 16, yet Kodak hasn't updated their black and white stocks in years. If I shoot color, will I be able to even get close in post to the look of a project that originated in b + w? We'll probably use a 2K/HD and I have unlimited access to a post house with Final Touch, VFX suites, etc. I'm hoping the effect can be achieved digitally versus chemically, but...
