In this video, I dive into the concept of the "cinematic" look and what it actually means. One part of that is the look of analog film, which is what we'll be exploring today. I’ll show you the visual characteristics of real 16mm Kodak Vision3 film and compare it to what Dehancer, a film emulation plugin, can achieve. Is it still worth shooting expensive analog film, or can Dehancer replicate that iconic look digitally? We’ll examine both approaches and discuss whether digital emulation can truly replace the analog experience.
