The last time I shot on film was back in 2000, a little 16mm project in one big reel and a whole heap of damage! The original transfer is ugly as all hell and mildly out-of-synch and shows up the inexperience with lighting for the medium. Still, there’s something delicious and permanent about film and I would love to shoot on 35mm someday… until then I shoot digitally like most independent film makers on tiny budgets. It’s an inexpensive format and with the advent of DSLR’s, film makers like myself can finally produce images that are clean and sharp and have the feel of film without the costs of the reels and the processing and then all that bother with cutting negatives etc. So I guess I’m all for digital, but I still love the magic of film. It’s not a war as such, but it’s fascinating to see polarising views on the subject. Some people will never shoot on digital, some who’ve shot on films their entire lives say they won’t shoot on film again (I’m looking at you David Lynch), and now here comes Keanu Reeves with an very interesting documentary about the subject, with some great interviews with big hitters. I’ll be VOD’ing this one, here’s the trailer…
