fuzzynormal Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 For me, it's more about how you create it than what is used to create it. The camera is only a small but important part of the process. You can shoot actual 35mm, but punt everything else --and you won't be able to create much of a film look.

Bioskop.Inc Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 The "Film Look" was/is an obsession created by the digital medium trying to compete with or emulate celluloid (you can't, they are different mediums). "Dogma 95" gave everyone the middle finger, by saying "Fuck it, just make a film". Personally, today, its all about "How I learned to stop worrying & love my own look!"
