20C Fox latest to sign agreement with Kodak
6 of the major Hollywood studios have now signed deals with Kodak for the supply of Motion Picture film - this is very important for stills film because it keeps the extensive production facilities in Rochester rolling:

Awesome, but surprising. I thought all of the major Hollywood folks had switched over to the Arri Alexa and the latest range of RED cameras.

I think film is very hard to beat as an origination medium in motion picture, for a whole host of reasons. What I have found when shooting 16mm colour neg is you can just point and shoot and it always looks great - it always looks like film with the dynamic range and tonality you expect from a movie. I don't think digital is like that, I think it has to be worked at much harder (eg. lighting and post production). In the larger formats and in a large production this must be amplified.
Looking forward to seeing the 65mm in Star Trek Into Darkness. http://motion.kodak.com/motion/About...ogCategory.htm Love this: Quote:

Pinewood Studios
Spent a fair bit of time in the projection room at Pinewood Studios. Having looked at REDONE footage put up and then a clean reel of 35mm film it was clear that digital really did have a plastic look to it. I suggested to the projectionist at the time that it would be a good idea to run live feeds from the editing systems straight into the barco digital projector which I think was implemented a few months later. As great as it is, the two 35mm projectors sat next to the big grey box were simply amazing machines. Also, as someone who has done a bit of acting, being in front of a 35mm camera really does put the pressure on to hit it first time and to perfection. Too expensive to bugger up. So pleased to hear that Kodak have a good deal in the bag. I thought that with the high cost of sending prints to the cinemas it would spell the end of it all. Glad to hear that the old troop still insist on film. Lets hope new directors have the same punch and request. I love film.

It's like they're just "going through the motions" (not in a bad way, they just tend to experiment and go a bit off-piste more) if I'm shooting with a DSLR or digital medium format. But, as soon as I whip out a film camera, doesn't matter even if it's just a teeny little Nikkormat, they seem to just hit everything perfectly almost every time, pose, expression, everything. Their whole attitude changes. I take my N90s with me on every shoot now. I make it obvious that I'm switching to a film body, but don't tell them when I've switched back to a DSLR.
