In this video I and my crew are going deep into comparing the workflows for shooting 16mm Kodak 250D Vision3 7207 Film and Digital 16mm on the original Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera. We're shooting, developing, scanning, and grading the film for an opening titles sequence for a fake TV show to see what workflow is most practical. How much does shooting on 16mm cost? Can you replicate the "film look" using a plug-in like FilmConvert Nitrate? We wanted to find out!
