Apart from hollywood (which is a world apart! very invasive indeed, but very much a world apart) and similar lucky parties, where even the unviable is daily done - but also where even some big filmakers have started to go digital, - going 35mm film is simply not an option for filmmakers. It has never been. Film maker doen't mean eccentric billionaire. film maker is just someone who makes a film. Let's talk about normality, about normal people, what people does, how theyt do it, the pro and cons of their choices. That way, it doen's work. Apart from the big and untachable, of course. People, normal filmakers, professional or not, don't normally grab a 35mm cine camera to make their films. People use digital cameras, possibly HD cameras, and recently, Red cameras. The Red series of camera will expand, and more and more people will make films with Red. Hundreds of thousands, if not more, will make films with Red Scarlet
It never happened that some one wants to make a film, buys or rent a 35mm camera and kilometres of film, puts together a crew and actors and makes a film, with a big smile on his face. How many of your friends do it? It may have happened some times. But get real. It doesn't work like this, it doesn't work. People use HD cameras, DVCPROHD, JVC, SONY, CANON, HDV cameras, and of course RED. Who cares if hollywood drunken toxies can see or appreciate the molecules of film, and love to talk for hours about that? Film is nothing special. Film doens't work.
