That's not what I mean.  "Video" looks different than "film".  It's hard to put into words.

Look at a home family video.  Look at the dimensionality of it.  Look at the way things look.

Now look at a film.  It has a different feel to it.  It almost makes video look fake, as backwards as that sounds.

Film looks "real".  Video looks "live".

 

 

I think that's because of film's frame rate- 24 frames per second. It's like the difference between watching a TV drama and a sit-com. Sit-coms have traditionally been shot on videotape, dramas on film. Things shot on videotape always looked "flat" to me.

But I guess that's all changed now with digital cameras, HD cameras. If I'm not mistaken, HD movie cameras use a 24fps frame rate to simulate the look & feel of film.
