Scene from Fellini's 8 1/2

ipublica Says:

Oct 26, 2010 - Can anybody of you tell me how Fellini could get at this incredible sharpness and b/w contrast in this film. It's a miracle to me. I have seen nothing similar with digital video, neither SD nor HD. Was it has personal genius to get there or was it the quality of the equipment. Please kindly reply me because my preference is monocrome flim and photography, using digital technology. Sincerely hope that anybody finds this comment ...

This is my favorite movie, I think I saw it 100 times already and I am still wondering what kind of gear I would have to buy to produce this quality of b/w video? The contrast is fantastic and all the greys are there. I guess only an expensive video cam or DSLR can do that. I have experimented quite a bit with either unsaturating color photos or shoot directly in b/w with my former Canon 400D and found that the RAWs are always color.

Apr 8, 2011 - you dont need a digital cam and the result would not be as good as a scanner. all you need is a regular scanner and time to scan in all the pictures from the reel. time is what produce labor costs.

Jun 9, 2011 - To be fair...Fellini is not a filmmaker. He is an artist. And there are very few of those in the medium of cinema.

Feb 8, 2012 - I wanted to go to film school... until I discovered Fellini. Then I thought "why even bother?" I can't even fathom creating something as 1/1000000th as magnificent as he ever did. So I decided to go to med school instead.
