I don’t really see why directors proudly exclaim that they’re shooting on film and then make a DI and project exclusively digitally. Really all there is to gain is natural grain (I could be a rapper…), but a good chunk of that is scrubbed away anyway. I just recently saw Spectre and it was almost devoid of grain. I mean, the trailer for TFA look like they were shot digitally.
So what is the actual reason for shooting on film if you’re not going to finish it on film or project it on film? What is there to gain?
