More satisfaction from this than most regular movies today

[@thenightbladefeeds]

How does 16mm look better than literally any other film stock? I swear every memory I have in my head looks like it was shot in 16mm.

[@horiyoshimitsu]

Wow. This looks like a movie from the 80's. And i mean that in the best possible way. All the luck for your short film!

[@MysteriousPerson1991]

thats exactly why i like it cause it is like an 80s movie

[@Warrior2044]

What are you talking about? It looks like a digital camera.

[@crs2crs2]

Film is film, there's nothing close to it. It just warms my heart. Looks amazing, thanks for the upload!

[@mondedusilence]

"it just warms my heart"

[@tadholtz3757]

I couldn't say it any better ! At 68 years old I am embarking on fulfilling a lifelong dream to make a feature 16mm film before I pass off the earth. I bought an Arriflex SR 16 and I am teaching myself how to shoot on film. There is no satisfaction like seeing the results of film coming back from the lab that I shot. I have much to learn but It gives me an incentive to go the next step like no other.

[@oscarbellera2259]

Now that we have the best quality possible in our hands we miss something that can't catch, atmosphere, the feeling of being there, cuz our memory or even our eyes don't see in 4k. Amazing. We need the film culture to get stronger! Great work!

[@Vahmrick60]

Well shot, good subject matter. The test is so well done, you could put a story together with it.

[@bob4analog]

Real Film just looks right. Digital cameras only imitate it.

[@korokosso]

The beauty of it brings tears to my eyes.

[@jdamicoofficial]

Looks so good -- timeless and iconic.

[@Xarithus]

Beautifully shot, and man those colors and grain look fantastic

[@RoodeMenon]

Video can never do this. Off the bat this felt real!

[@ingorichter649]

You can see the superb quality of the lens .... . But the most beautiful aspect of this content is the young man, what a beauty. 😍👍

[@dominiquetolley8246]

Thank you for putting the info about the camera. This is the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in a long time.

[@davida5296]

great test. thank you for actually putting humans in front of the camera and not just landscapes like so many other tests. really good lens

[@resist4resist]

This looks like an 80s film, except for the cars parked on the side of the road. Your hairstyle, dressing style is so reminiscent of the 80s. Kudos!

[@MaximumMadnessStixon]

Beautiful footage. This reminds me of why I love the look of film. Don't get me wrong, digital cinematography is great and has come a long way over the past 20 years. But something about film is just so... warm and nostalgic.

[@TheGiansi88]

This footage is stunning, my gosh!

[@fourth1000]

I love this... no stylized LUT... ny hyper color like I'm watching a movie while wearing Ray bands. Just the simple beauty of celluloid

[@plastique45]

I love the grain.

[@alexced3923]

So beautiful... A real movie.

[@chunkygroove9038]

Great work Emerson. You have captured the beauty of this format. Some digital cameras are great, no doubt, but they will never replicate the gorgeous, organic subtleties of film.

[@fthprodphoto-video5357]

Some extremely high quality footage here

[@Edsta]

this is so beautiful. i love the look of film!!

[@satsu_leitz]

Very nice 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Car scenes shows the latitude of the film perfectly, I liked it

[@imgiovan]

This is just amazing. Film gives such a natural and emotional look... I loved this!

[@JAWNIEAPPLETREE]

love the colours on this, super dope

[@Capo98y]

Everything looks more organic and live on film

[@silent6648]

I dig it, it looks damn-near like how Richard Linklater would shoot his films, especially the films very early on in his career.

[@JWP452]

Beautifully shot by Emerson Duggan! Great careers ahead of this group!

[@emergefamily]

This feels like a short movie in itself

[@christopherthorkon3997]

Stunning. Love the skin tones and the overall texture of the image. You just can't get this with video.

[@christianschonberger9695]

Fantastic! Shooting on film is definitely worth the cost and effort. That silky look and that gorgeous highlight rolloff. No way you can get that look and feel with anything but real film! Wishing you the best of luck with all your upcoming projects!

[@davo249727]

This is a piece of art

[@CassiusChen]

That's really gorgeous! With this smooth music, I'm totally moved.

[@WhirlOmar]

Love the footage of this.

[@vaaalsongs4867]

This looks absolutely amazing

[@technol-bismol3778]

A very beautiful film with potential I love seeing aspiring film makers in their natural habitat

[@hiknik6740]

Awesome shots, I love the feel of that beautiful picture.

[@windcine2388]

nice man, saw you work in the Here With Me music video too, stands out

[@HynekTuleja]

This is unbeliavable! Something like Louis Delluc’s photogenie!

[@tannerbrowningfilms]

Beautiful images!

[@СергейБодров-л5щ]

Great shot

[@DavisTibbz]

Gosh, the colors! Amazing.

[@nicholastoo858]

Making a feature movie with film is my dream. One day.

[@andrearossi7863]

Awesome! Nice work, thanks for sharing.

[@ChrleBrwnJR]

This is phenomenal!!

[@lovedeathdisco]

PUCH MAGNUM GANG 🏍🚀

[@guntherweygers4762]

Just gorgeous!

[@jeffmcbeff6084]

Awesome!

[@slybugg]

Great colors and exposure, and a nice steady image that looks like 35mm. Better quality than almost all S16 tests I have seen on youtube or vimeo. I wonder how much of that is the Arri, how much the Zeiss primes, and how much is the Fotokem processing/CC.

[@revokdaryl1]

This is extremely inspirational. Looks absolutely fantastic! Now I want to rent a 16mm Arri camera and shoot some footage lol.

[@filmsbyhen]

This looks dope man

[@Maniclout]

Looks so vintage, I love that though

[@MyNameFerdi]

Those colors, i hope have this camera and the film can be buy in my coutry

[@kevinhaakede]

Why dont u have a millions subscribers on YT?! MAN! this is amazingg!

[@LivTheLife]

this is SO COOL ugh I love everything about this.

[@sean9920]

Wow this footage looks amazing. I have a short film that I hope to make one day that takes place in the early 50’s and I would love to shoot on an Arri SR3 for that older film look but with it being my first film it’s probably a good idea to stick with digital just to keep things less complicated.

[@strawberryjam3670]

Now this looks just great, like the movies were back then.

[@fernandochapa1433]

Everything look so important in 16mm

[@ludiktv2103]

Loving it...I just acquired an old Aaton S16 and can't wait to shoot with it, am I wrong to be sad upon the fact that show runners don't give a s.... about this extra mile we are willing to go to keep alive this passion of motion picture on film.

[@DoctorNewport]

Incredible. Holy shit

[@noonecares4044]

wow, looks like a movie

[@staswlad]

Great video

[@ngemu3400]

very impressive

[@grahamandrews9725]

god that looks nice

[@nickpacione7746]

You have skills brother

[@throningdale2702]

this is great

[@lrave17]

Beautifully shot mate, can we see your final film?

[@pellegrinipellegrini]

Amazing.

[@nekiy83]

thank you so much!

[@andresainderichin6525]

I only got one word: Whow!

[@greenalien8503]

Is this really 16mm? This looks way too good

[@BobbyD262]

Hey Emerson. If you export and upload your final file in 4K (even if you didn't edit in 4K), it will force KZbin to use it's better codec. Also if you export your final file in something like prores or cineform5, you will preserve more grain on KZbin. This looks gorgeous by the way!

[@walda6446]

This was amazing 💛

[@bluefilmsltd]

This looks like beautifully shot 16mm. How'd you get it so clean???

[@Statuskuo75]

Nicely done!

[@embo920]

Statuskuo75 thank you! i just looked at you channel and realized it was your super 16 film of driving down that road in the desert that made me want to try 16mm in the first place. now i think i will be making my thesis film for film school on super 16.

[@Statuskuo75]

@@embo920 excellent choice! It will standout for sure! Ultraprimes looks incredible.

[@chrisw443]

it looks identical to a hdtv 2/3rd inch camera. sensor is about the same size. you can tell theres more dynamic range, but these cameras are incredibly hard to find these days and cost over 10k anywhere online.

[@chrishultgren777]

Analog film remains superior to digital video.

[@michaelhoanshelt]

pretty dope bruv

[@canalptfobicosquepaiseesse9283]

Wow impressive! The only camera that come close to film is the pocket cinema camera , the original one.

[@muratatasoytr]

This is real color, real shadows, real motion and best Quality this is 35mm film

[@sinorox6849]

1000th like :D this was amazing loved it

[@morethanyoucaretosee]

Wow. Bro. I love. ❤️

[@MisterGraa]

Was this digitally color corrected?

[@embo920]

This was color timed at fotokem, I didn't do anything to it myself. Im not exactly sure what they use but its not as simple as them throwing a LUT on it. I got to sit w a colorist for like an hour and he tweaked each shot with me.

[@RoodeMenon]

@@embo920 Very honest colors there, great job.

[@lancelucero6849]

Very nice. Film rocks! What lens was on the camera for the test?

[@ojsimpson8426]

amazing - what kind of bike is that?

[@kennikuhlmann-clark9860]

Amazing how steady and sharp a real pro 16mm camera can be (it was hard to pinpoint any film artifacts (but there are a few).... Save for the depth(?), it looks almost like 35mm!.... Of course, the footage does show that cold stares, and pensive postures does not a movie make....

[@tomcasebeer1301]

Nice.

[@Stozubw]

super!!!

[@tianshuhan1489]

Fabulous, organic image is not about HFR&resolution at all.
