the only reason im at the university i am at is because of the opportunity to shoot on everything from super 8, 16mm and super 16mm as well as edit on steenbeck… just somehting about the old skool craftsmanship involved that makes you appreciate every take, every frame that little bit more.

Film still has a much more natural look than digital. And higher resolution, with no square pixels. And no problems with motion. Digital still has a long way to go.

I remember a 16mm project I did in college. I was the DP and miscalculated the time on the remaining footage, letting the camera roll out so we could change mags. When it came back and we watched the footage in class and I saw the 45 second shot of a light I felt so embarrassed. My prof had us watch the entire clip (it felt like an eternity) and I learned a hard lesson about the precious nature of filmstock.
