Now I guess it's possible it wasn't ready yet for the trailers that just feel like the regular Alexa LF noise to me (and Fraser went up to 2000 ISO).
Someone from the Dejonghe Laboratory I believe, who did a lot of filmouts, said that to really get texture and the feel of it you need to print on Vision 3 camera stock. And I've seen that on all the examples I've seen. I've yet to see Dune but I'm curious to see what the final result looks like. I remember David Sandberg saying they tried a filmout on Shazam but the results were not there, so I think he must have printed on print stock, hence the less than perceptible results.
It bums me out to see that Fraser and Villeneuve tested 35mm and 65mm film for Dune, but felt that 35mm was too grainy (?), and 65mm had issues apparently with the conditions they were shooting in, in addition to Villeneuve somehow feeling film was too nostalgic. |
It’s definitely an odd way to go about it, to want a film-type look but something that’s so subtle it’s almost like an aftertaste or a memory rather than an active participant. I know you don’t rate film emulation, like at all, but for their purposes they could’ve done this effect a lot cheaper than filming out the entire movie and scanning it back in again.
