Let's see what 1970s George Lucas has to say about grain....

Lucas in American Cinematographer, October 1971:

"I was well aware that there would be those in the audience who would be shocked by the graininess at first, but I was sure that after the first minute or two they would get used to the grain and simply accept it as part of the stylistic concept, the documentary approach."

very interesting quote!

and a very good post for hitting the 1000th post!

thanks for all the comments and discussion going on.
