16mm vs Digital

Director Natesh Hegde (Pedro) has made the aesthetic choice of opting to shoot his new venture Tiger’s Pond on 16mm rather than digital.

“It’s true that digital cameras democratized the cinema medium. But I really do not like crisp and flashy digital images much,” says Hegde. “Also, I would like to practice cinema with precision. Overall footage for ‘Pedro’ was five hours from which we got a 1 hour 49 minute film, so with this shooting ratio film stock won’t be that expensive. The texture 16mm gives is crucial for us.”
