- Film holds 11 stops of light, while your measily little video-camera
holds 5-6 stops. That is a huge difference, and will determine how deep you
can look in the shadows, and how high in the higlights.
- Due to compression, video throws away a lot of the colour-detail.
- Another major difference is that film is progressive, while video usually
is interlaced.
Making video look like film, is to treat it like film when you shoot it.
