Film grain

[Knut Jansohn]

It is not to make it looks like film only but maybe you would like to make it looks less plain and slick.

Therefor you can get this for free here:

CineGrain is the best option for high end post houses. (The content is half a terabyte and comes on harddrives in 4k.)

And https://www.indiescans.com is the best solution for those on a budget. Directly downloadable film scans in 35mm,16mm, and 8mm.

[Carl Ryan Stemple] “There’s a very subtle…fluidity to the grain in chemically processed celluloid that seems to flow naturally with the motions on screen”

its a result of crystal clouding, which makes it difficult to exactly simulate in electronic plugins. Each emulsion has its own signature, which is further modified by where it lies on the sensinometric curve and whether the processing lab was on the numbers… temperature, fps, turbulation, chemical solutions mixed properly… only a couple of hundred variables. Plus the enhanced temporal resolution of a slightly jittering image formation target.

You don’t know what you’ve got til its gone. Thanks Joni.
