My understanding is that the quality of 16mm film was low enough that viewers could tell even over broadcast NTSC.
And the next affordable step up (the same 32mm film and cameras used for most feature films) just so happened to have high enough quality that we can now do 4k remasters.
- tablespoon 4y agoMy understanding is Babylon 5 was shot on 35mm film -- the same used for movies.
