As much as I love film, I can't deny the cost of it. Often times, it is prohibitively expensive. It costs about 850 dollars for 1000ft 35mm, 12-1400 dollars per page of script when everything is factored in. As nice as s16 is, it is certainly not 35 amd is still a look. This is assuming you're shooting 10:1 ratio, which is an ok ratio for most narrative projects - ideally, 20:1 would be better. If you had complex shooting situations or long dialog scenes, you would need even more to shoot properly without cutting corners. Having done it in the past, I just don't believe in editing in camera as you're shooting.. you're really shooting yourself in the foot by being a slave to a format. You need enough coverage to have a good edited film.

Eclair NPR is 29 at 3 ft.. even the NPR is noisy in many quiet environments.

It says 35 dB at 5ft.. that's more or less MOS in today's standards.

I love the look of this stock. Unlike V3, it definitely looks different than digital.

The current modern cameras will be used until they last or until Kodak stops making film unfortunately.

Even if it was priced the same as V3, and that is still asking a lot. It would guarantee more success if it was cheaper than Kodak for sales volume. They should aim at selling more film by pricing it lower than Kodak. Otherwise, why would anyone want to pay the same money as V3, which is awesome and battle tested, let alone double the price of it. To put it in perspective, with these prices, you could shoot on Kodak 65mm.

I just bought it for 400k haha.. if you're interested, you can borrow it from me hahaha..

Thank you.

Mark, thank you very much. So your estimation is that this stock's color temperature is 4000 Kelvin?

Yea I hope so. They don't offer 1000ft rolls though it seems like. Do you know of they do? I mean I know you mentioned you didn't work for them but I'm only asking in case you know.

Mark, I really like the look of it but the cost of it is too high unfortunately.. I hope they can work out their pricing so that it isn't double the price of V3. Otherwise, have been planning on using it for some projects.

It is double the price of v3, which is a shame, because I really like the look of it.

I just checked the price and it says 1321 dollars for 1000ft 35mm.. you could be shooting Kodak 65mm for that price. Otherwise, I like the look of it.

You would get IN (internegative) which would be used for making release prints. Unlike negative stocks, you would expose reversal at the box speed or underexpose it a bit.. 1/3 of a stop.

It sounds like you're really right on budget.. I would shoot digital and have a better end product instead of relying on 1 take wonders just to shoot on film.
