CineStill 800T. Based on popular motion picture cinema film, this high-speed stock is famous for delivering a moody, cinematic aesthetic. Perfect for capturing late-night adventures, glowing neon signs, and moody cityscapes, this tungsten-balanced color negative film offers unique color rendition, distinct glowing halation around highlights, and great low-light performance.
NOTE: When shot in daylight, an 85 filter is recommended and/or shooting the film at 400-500 ISO.
Helpful tips for this film stock:
Lighting: 800T is tungsten-balanced, meaning it is designed to look natural under artificial, warm indoor lighting or night-time city streetlights (the older, better ones at least. Those new ones are gross). If you shoot it in natural daylight without an 85B warming filter on your lens, your images will have a distinct, icy-blue color shift. But hey, get creative! Nobody said you can't.
Exposure: Expose at box speed (800 ISO) for excellent low-light performance with cinematic grain. It also handles pushing incredibly well—you can easily rate it at 1600 or 3200 ISO (and tell your lab to push process it) for increased contrast and a grittier look in very dark environments. Alternatively, shoot it at 400 for some interesting looks as well!
Cinematic Halations: Because the anti-halation (rem-jet) layer is removed to allow for standard C-41 photo lab processing, expect to see a beautiful, glowing red halo effect around strong point light sources like street lamps, neon signs, and bare bulbs.
