Thanks for this video. For someone like me, who really enjoys the editing process, it makes less and less sense to keep shooting film ($$$) when you can get such similar results (and unlimited attempts) with digital. Of course, the process of shooting film and getting it back is irreplaceable 😌
Hey Travis ✌ It's definitely getting increasingly more expensive to shoot just film and if you love editing the digital files then there's no point spending extra money really. I do agree though the process of using the old cameras and getting those scans back is what will keep me shooting film, but I will be mixing that with digital too.
I like the idea of film, but I mostly shoot digital! Question for you... when you expose for the highlights with your Fuji, do you eliminate all the zebras stripes or keep some in?
Hey Kevin! Totally get it, digital is certainly a lot more convenient. That's a great question actually, I have my zebra setting at like 90 or 95% in camera I think so it displays them just before things would actually be totally blown out. But sometimes I keep them on screen a little if it's a back lit scene for example or if the sun is just creating a nice glow just out of frame. I would want the zebras to be directly on my subject though. 👍
I was very impressed how closely your post edited film and digital shots matched. Did you edit the digital images to look like the film image, or were the final results as you pre-visualized them.
Hey ✌ Thank you appreciate that. Honestly over time I have grown to like a particular look and I edit the photos to get that look. It's definitely a little inspired by film but I don't really try to match the edits tbh.
This video gives me an idea that there should be a hybrid camera which should accept a film. With the settings, camera should display on the back how the final image would look (as in the current digital cameras), and when you press the shutter, it should expose the film. Then the camera should scan the exposed film and store the image data in SD/ CF express card. I know that making such a compact high resolution scanner for a camera would be a great challenge, so was the challenge what we have achieved with digital cameras today. Maybe, someone who works in this direction would finally achieve it. Also, this should not be seen as widely accepted system, but a system that some hobbyists would adapt to. To my eyes, I clearly see that film is still leaps ahead than digital. Sorry arguers, I won't take part in this film-digital argument.
I loved this video! I learned a lot :) It was also interesting to see your retouching process! I saw that you were using shade modification, a setting I never touch! You have to be careful I think to use it as we want. The white balance influences it a lot I guess. At sunset, or at sunrise, what white balance do you usually use ? Personally, I like to have the best possible image right out of the box, so that I can do very minimal retouching like what you just showed us for digital. Funny also to see that you retouch your films :)
Cheers Yann glad you liked it 🙂 Do you mean the colour wheels? When we are out shooting we normally just set the camera to either daylight or cloudy depending on the conditions. Totally agree It makes things much easier if you get it close in camera. Yeah the film photos just need a little adjustment most of the times not much at all really.
If you scan your film that’s digital only thing left is film look. Idk how people said film and digital is different. If you watch in youtube both are digital. Some times I feel people prefer film because pictures was shot on a film 😊
Haha Technically you are right Peter 😂 You still get that look but yeah it is a digital file. I do want to try getting some film photos printed directly from the scans like it was originally done.
Never realised that the world ‘film’ had two syllables until watching this 😂 great video mate
Accents can do wonderful things Haha Cheers 👍
@@MacnTeensVisuals That surprised me too, as I have seen only Indians with native accents to pronounce 'film' like that.
Fill’em photography, love it
😂😂
Filum.
😂 This is true haha
@@MacnTeensVisuals lol not to be rude
@@hoodyk7342 It's all good 🤣

Film, Digital or Both... What's your thing? 📷

I was pronouncing film all wrong...!
Indeed you were ;)
What happened to the X-T30?
Oh we still have it and still love it. I was using it to record the video 👍🏼

Oh no they're on to me 🙈

What's fillim
Filim, Filum, Film 😂
Phil-em?
Accents are a wonderful thing 😂
"aand unless you've actually shot fyllym and got your shkans back" love the accent, good video
🙈😂 Cheers, accents are a wonderful thing aren't they.

what model is the film camera used for the comparison in the video ?
The film cameras I use are the 35mm Nikon FE and the medium format Yashica Mat 👍
Please make the editing tutorial, though...
Haha Maybe, I do find them a little boring though, dont you? 😂

The source is what makes the difference. If you digitize a vhs tape it’s still going to look like vhs. So there is a difference.
Film looked better
I would have to agree for most.
@@MacnTeensVisuals i just don't know why they all stopped using film
@@AD-by8wx Really all comes down to speed I think.
