I played around with the idea of calling this article “How to shoot film on a Budget”, but it isn’t very detailed and I can’t remember all the exact prices and different costs all that well anymore (for instance, things like the cost of costumes or how much was the exact price of the rawstock).

Since video has been so prominent in filmmaking lately, many new filmmakers don’t get the exposure to film that they used to and often don’t know the differences in these three film formats anymore – and why they are used in the particular areas they are. Many new filmmakers want to shoot with film, because of the benefits they’ve heard film has over video, but they don’t know which size film to use, or why. I listed the three most used films, and a little about them, for your reading pleasure: 35mm film has been around since motion picture’s beginning – over a century and it still looks great! “Citizen Kane”, “Star Wars”, and almost everyone’s favorite 2006 movie “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” Convert this post to … Read entire article »
