!6mm film stocks

[Blade]

I would like to hear from people who are very happy with their 16mm stock.

My film is coming out very grainey. Let me know what you prefer Kodak to Fuji stocks and Negative to Positive films.

I do alot of run and gun type of shooting, so lighting is always an issue.

 

Thanks much,

Tom

Kodak's Vision 2 stocks might be right up your alley. Go to their website and check outthe specs. You can get 100T, 200T, 320T, 500T and some daylights I'm not exactly sure about. I know you could at least get 250D.

- Reversal Film

- Negative Film

- Positive Film

Today's color negative stocks (e.g., the Kodak VISON2 films) usually have the latest technology, and would offer the lowest graininess for any given speed class. Higher EI usually means more graininess, but even 500T is now widely used for Super-16 production.

Graininess normally increases if you underexpose -- underexposure puts more scene information on the faster (grainer) emulsions in the film, and also causes the grain to print in a more visible portion of the tone scale. It's especially important to not underexpose when shooting smaller formats.
