FILM STORAGE ARCHIVING
After you get your film from the lab, it
needs to be stored in a climate- and humid-
ity-controlled space. Search online for a film
storage facility near you. With
proper storage, we know film can
last well over 100 years. Many
moviemakers do not think about
this enough. I know many mov-
iemakers, myself included, who
have rolls of film packed away in
a closet, and extreme tempera-
ture and humidity changes will
have adverse effects on the film
stock. Taking proper care of your
film stock will allow you to get
the best quality updated scans as
technology evolves.
Upon first glance it may seem
like shooting on film is a difficult
proposition, but in reality, once
you understand the fundamentals and shoot
a few rolls of film yourself, it will become as
easy for you as shooting on digital. What Yen
and I found out on the set of 1985 was that
the cast and crew treated the movie with
more respect and brought their “A” game
because no one wanted to be responsible for
messing up a take. Our days also ran faster
because there wasn’t a video village and play-
back to slow us down; we were able to shoot
quickly and efficiently, which overall saved us
money on production. MMMOVIEMAKER.COM WINTER 2019 37#bridgingcultures #bridgingpeople #unirculturasBridging Cultures & Bridging People
