Hello, I am researching some film intermediate techniques for an upcoming project, and am curious to see if anyone knows any labs that offer digital projection to ektachrome as a film intermediate, or have seen any examples of this being done before. I know cinelab offers DFD transfer to specific stocks like 500T or 50D, so I imagine it's possible but I haven't been able to find any examples online and am thinking maybe there is a technical limitation to this? When I say digital projection I mean projecting digitally shot footage onto a film reel and then scanning back to digital to achieve a "film look". Not necessarily wanting to go in this direction, just was curious to see if this was possible, and if so what it would look like. Any info would be appreciated, thanks!

Got it, this makes a lot of sense. I’m looking to shoot a scene that is lost highway-esque ideally on celluloid but am limited to 16mm because of budget. I also would ideally like to stick with mostly practical lighting in this scene. Do you think it’s possible to achieve enough light through car headlights so that at least the subject is properly exposed?

I'm looking to shoot nighttime on 16mm and was wondering what the furthest you can push XX 7222 and vision 3 7219 while still maintaining a useable-ish image. I don't mind high amounts of grain, or loss of detail, but am mostly curious if anyone has any examples of these stocks pushed past 1600.
