Even photography experts can't tell the difference between a digital photo that has simulated grain added to it, and tone manipulation done in post, versus a picture shot on film and scanned to digital.
I suspect its the same thing in cinematography.
Double blind tests do real havoc to all kinds of fetishism from wine-tasting to high end audio.
- hellofunk 11y agoYou are confusing the experience of the audience with the creative process of the artist.
- TheMagicHorsey 11y agoThat is a good point. It is different experience to shoot with film than to shoot digital. However, I haven't heard people argue for film from a strictly process point of view. It is, after all, a strength of digital that everything is just software--easy to manipulate, reset, copy, distribute. Having said that, you are still probably right. There is always going to be someone that prefers an analog process--maybe BECAUSE of how inconvenient it is--to a digital process. Some people also like working within constraints as it stimulates their creativity.
