Getting a "film out"

[wparrish24]

Which would be a better camera to shoot on for a film out?
5d Mark II (full frame)
EX3 w/ dof adapter (1/2" sensor)
HPX 500 w/ dof adapter (2/3" sensor)

None. None of them shoot film they all shoot video. But really I think it comes down to preference.

The HPX500 has not only the largest sensor, but the lowest compression scheme, so that one will have the sharpest image, and then will look "best" when doing a film out.

A film out means getting a celluloid film print made from the digital source, IE going from video to a film print.


It's a giant waste of money. As more and more exhibition goes digital, the need for a 35mm film print lowers. Unless you have already been accepted to one of the 2-3 film festivals on the planet that require a 35mm film print - DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! It's expensive (about $400 per minute) and that is money you will never get back.
