From my testing, I think 7203 holds up pretty well to 5219, but there is a visible difference in details and depth of field. Especially in wide shots, 7203 is far behind 5219 in terms of resolution.

I can not say, because I haven't shot any tests on 7207...

@Giray Izcan interesting take! I will definitely shoot my next S16 project on 200T.

@Giray Izcan Thank you. Yes, indeed, 200T is the sharpest of all color negative stocks.

@Tyler Purcell Thank you Tyler!

It took me longer than expected, but I finally managed to set up the page to view the resolution test and download all the test images. Please let me know if anything doesn’t work, what you think of the test, and feel free to share your thoughts or start a discussion on the topic. www.florian-noever.com/filmresolutiontest

Very interesting idea! Such a test would be an immensely helpful resource, especially for people who don't have the opportunity to test these things before shooting. My test is nowhere near as extensive and was conducted with the tools I had at my disposal.

Thank you all for your valuable insights! I have completed my bachelor’s thesis and the resolution test. If anyone is interested, you can soon check out and download the test images created as part of the resolution test at the following link: www.florian-noever.com/filmresolutiontest. Thank you! Florian

@Robert Houllahan Okay so, it doesn't matter if it is analogue or digital sound it will always be printed on a sound negative and the combined with the picture negative, right? What do you mean by answer printed, what does the process look like? What I still don't get is how for example the Scan Station has an Area Scan Sensor but is able to do continuous scanning, is the light source generating powerful enough flashes for very short exposure times to scan continuously? Do the Scanity and Arriscan use flashes as well, or continues light?

@Dan Baxter thank you for your detailed response!

Hi, I am interested in learning about the software used in the camera department during principal photography and the specific areas they cover. I’m familiar with ingest and data management software, as well as color grading tools. Are there other areas that also utilize specialized software? Thank you!

Hello everyone, My name is Florian, I’m studying cinematography at the Film Academy Vienna in Austria. I am currently working on my bachelor's thesis, which focuses on working with motion picture film in a digital environment. I’m very interested in film and its processes, and I've had the chance to gain some experience shooting short films on 16mm and 35mm. The goal of my thesis is to create a guide to help film students and enthusiasts understand the current technical possibilities for working with film. However, I’ve found it challenging to find specific information and reliable sources. I thought it might be helpful to reach out to a forum with members who have years of experience working with film. The information I’m seeking is mentioned in the title of this thread. I want to know about the tools used on set when working with film. These can include film-specific tools, such as the IndieAssist, as well as tools that are also used with digital cameras. I’m grateful for any information you can share. Thanks in advance! Best, Florian

Hi everyone, I have a few more questions that came up during my research: I’m still trying to understand how sound is handled with the ARRI Laser and what kind of sound format is used. Also, what film stock is the sound recorded on, is it Kodak 2374? I have a basic understanding of the two ways to create a 35mm film print today, but what is the workflow for making 70mm prints? Which recorders are used, and which scanners does Fotokem utilize? What machines are used for contact printing? Are optical printing machines still relevant? I know that scanners either stop at each frame for digitizing or continuously scan. Are there specific terms for these types of movements? Do the Lasergraphics scanner stop at each frame, or do they continuously scan? From what I found, only the ARRISCAN provides pin registration, while the Scanity and Lasergraphics scanners use optical perf registration. Is that correct? Thank you in advance! 🙂

What software is the industry standard for post stabilizing?

Thank you all! I think I now have a basic understanding of today’s workflow for creating prints. One thing I’m still curious about is the specific tools used in post-production when working with film scans. I know of software for dust removal and image stabilization, but are there other tools commonly used?
