I haven't seen the movie yet but have heard nothing but negative to very negative reviews so far in terms of the story. I keep hearing that the only redeeming aspect of the film is its cinematography. I haven't seen but only echoing what I've heard and read about the film.

Gold was shot on 35mm film.

Thankfully we have Kodak.

I just checked their website.. it says nc500 is a color negative stock. Kodak 65mm is around 1500 lol just sayin...

1000ft of nc 500 is now 1916.00 dollars... hahahaha

Even their black and white stocks seem to be over a thousand... you might as well shoot Kodak 65mm...

I suspect, with these prices, they will not sell enough or any and cease its production all together in a few months. Really a shame..

The answer is you don't... shame. I was super excited to have a new Agfa XT 320 in a way.

Unfortunately, with these high prices, Orwo will price itself out of the competition. Especially for longer form productions, it will be Kodak. Kodak has consistentcy and a track record as opposed to these grossly high priced products... shame..

I noticed too. It was 500 for 1000ft. I was ecstatic about it. With these prices, I will stick with Kodak. I will just buy a 400ft roll for a little test/fun.

1000ft of NC500 costs 956.00 dollars.

I am very excited to test this film as I really like the Agfa colors. The prices seem higher than Kodak though...

I use my Cooke 20-100 lens on s16. There is no trick really... if you have the space, you will have to back up from the talent. If not, you are stuck with 48-50mm equivalent field of view on s16.

I worked with a number of young dps in their early to mid 20s as a focus puller on some commercials. They will remain nameless of course, but they don't even know what a working stop is. Everytime I asked what stop we were shooting, I would always get the ost look with an I dont know yet answers followed by looking at on board monitor to find the stop. No lighting, shaping etc is involved. These were real commercials with clients.. i never heard of a 22 year old "dp" during the film days... it took some expertise to get the image you wanted to get without looking at monitors etc. Go back to film sets, it was always lit. I find that more artful. Of course established cinematographers are excluded.

In my humble opinion through observation is that nowadays all you need is to own a camera and a network of people to work as a cinematographer. I keep hearing productions hiring on the basis of what equipment is brought to table rather than just skill set. Nepotism was always the name of the game but with digital being so accessible and in a way easier to shoot than film, any person with a camera is a dp all of a sudden. This is not an ANTI-DIGITAL opinion by any means.

S8 was an amateur, home video format. 16mm was the news standard.

It's unfortunate that it doesn't have remjet... I smell a stinker... I hope I am wrong!!

I agree... s16 would be much better in terms of representing shooting on celluloid. I don't know why anyone would be happy with that kind of fuzzy result... no offense.

Hipsters are at it again. He was talking about Kodak Gold as if it is a great stock. I would put up some Portra up there. It should have been shot on s16 to make it nice and sharp to make the younger generations see what could be achieved with film...

I don't how well this will work, considering labs use ECN2... You could get it cross processed but that doesn't come without compromises...

I would stick with traditional units as opposed to led for more punch and better color reproduction. It will be cheaper to rent too.

Cool.. last time I dealt with u16 which is quite some time ago, it was only you guys and Cinelicious handling the format. Thanks for the update.

Unfortunately, u16 really limits you in terms of post. You are bound to one or two labs that handle the format.

Nikon r10 is great too.. I'm torn. I don't like the shutter angle on Beaulieus.
