I was kind of surprised that ostensibly new 8mm film stock had the same color shift and lack of saturation that the old, period films have.
According to their YouTube page, the stock used in this film were Kodak 50D and 200T, which are both current film stocks sold by Kodak. If you go to Kodak’s website and view the demos, you’ll see that both stocks produce gorgeous color with very fine grain.
It would seem that they’ve done a hell of a lot of post-production work to make these films look like what we stereotypically think old films should look like. A neat effect, to be sure. I’d love to see the raw shots before they did the post-processing, though.
