I used to work for the foundry, which is the equivalent of Adobe, but for the film industry. Before that I worked at a number of VFX houses. What I love so much about listening to "filmies" is that their insistence that film grain is authentic. (fortunately this video is matter of fact, unlike the vast majority of people spewing out opinion on such things, the presenter actually seems to know what they are talking about) Most of the film grain you've seen in the last ten years (possibly since about 2000) is fake. Certainly if there is any VFX work, then the film grain has been "degrained" and then put in back afterwards. (I'm not talking monsters, I mean set extensions, sky removals, general touchup.) And yes, that even includes movies that were shot on real film. Which was most films up until about 2010-12 The best part, most film grain you see is the work of maybe three people. https://www.fxguide.com/featured/furnace_discreet_-_beta_program_starts/ https://www.fxguide.com/featured/furnace_discreet_-_beta_pro...
