Hello all, had a few questions that I wanted to ask the community. I am about to start my next film and I am planning on shooting it on film. I am thinking 2 perf, 2:39. still sourcing the cameras but it’s looking like Arricam ST/LT and Kodak stock. Question: Is there a difference in grain structure between 3perf and 2perf if I am shooting for 2:39. By all reasoning there should be no change in grain from 3 to 2 perf seeing as I am using the same amount of the negative when shooting 2:39. Second Question: 85 or no 85? It seems to me that I will still need to use an 85 filter when shooting tungsten balanced film in a daylight scenario. I know that some might say if you are finishing in a digital realm you can correct it in the color grading. But my gut is saying that the fundamental make of tungsten balanced film will be effected in a way that will be hard to correct even with the powerful color correction tools we have these days. Any and all advice is welcomed. thanks much Séamus
