Film Isn't Dead...So Shoot It!

[richardk]

We all know that motion picture film use has greatly declined with the introduction of digital formats.

It is also now really inexpensive! We've got 35mm ends and recans for a fraction of what they cost just months ago. For example, last year a 400' recan of 5219 was .38 cents per foot. It is now just .18 cents per foot.

Shorter lengths are even less. A 300' short end of 5207 is now just .08 cents per foot.

So, if you are concerned that film is going away and you won't be able to shoot it, now is the time to take advantage of low prices while film is still around.

Thanks for pointing this out to all of us. I'm interested in going back to traditional filming with actual film. As digital takes over, it's nice to jump back to the old means once in a while.
