Film formats explained

Useful demonstration (shot on film, no less) of cinema film formats, including 8mm, Super 16, 35mm, Super 35, open gate, anamorphic, etc. Don't pay attention to the color grading (or lack thereof); this is a demo of different film formats.

Resolve 19 Studio, M2 MacBook Air with 24 gigs of RAM; also Mac Pro 3.0 GHz 8-core, 32 gigs RAM, dual AMD D700 GPU.

Recording time in 1,000 FT 35mm works out:
4-perf: 11 minutes 6 seconds
3-perf: 14 minutes 48 seconds
2-perf: 22 minutes 13 seconds

400FT Super 16mm Film: 11 minutes 6 seconds
