FILM MANIPULATION

Film manipulation was an awesome experience. Learning about the experimental side of film stock gave me a new appeciation and discipline when working with 16mm as the actual canvas. Seeing the finished product was even more awesome. Regardless of the awesome process i do not see my self using film when it comes to video extensively in the future. If you look at it from a resource point of view, the "grain" look can be applied digitally and without spending money. i know its not "real', but its not all about staying true to film stock. And in this day and age film is almost directly associated with HD. unless its a dream sequence or a flashback i cannot see myself using film that much. That being said, photography is completely different. i actually prefer shooting on film and in my opinion film manipulation and 35mm grain looks better than DSLR cameras. Maybe this is because photography and capturing an image has almost nothing to do with image quality, unlike my opinions on film.
