During the pandemic's "shelter in place", I started watching (and re-watching) older movies (anything pre 2000). I'm still on that binge.... I also got into 35mm film photography (developing it at home in my bathroom), and learning a ton about the chemistry, etc... I've discovered, and in some cases re-discovered, how much I prefer the older movies over newer ones. And my work in 35mm/analog gives me a new appreciation for movies shot on film. Movies like the original "Planet of the Apes" has found new appreciation in my eyes. There are some real, true, gems from the 60s - 90s.
Edit: I know this comment isn't about the audio, specifically - but rather, just about how movies have changed more generally.
- thanatos519 5y agoI sure miss my darkroom. Don't miss ST:TNG in 1080p. So glad it was shot on film.
- daveslash 5y agoSame. I miss the darkroom, and ST:TNG looks so great on film! In case you're unaware, you don't need a darkroom to develop 35mm film. I don't use an enlarger to transfer my photos onto photo paper (which would require a darkroom). Instead, I develop in the light but using a light-proof changing bag to load my film into a light-proof Paterson developing tank. After I pull the developed film out and let it dry, I scan the negatives using a photo scanner (I use an Epson v600, but there are plenty of options out there for scanning film negatives).
