Other media: 120 Medium Format Film
As stated in a previous blog post, we wanted to use a variety of media formats to create our shoot (perhaps a sub conscious decision to experiment with multiple media, in regards to referencing different kinds of arts? Maybe we were thinking about it too hard and for so long that it embedded itself deep into our brains, who knows…?)
Gavin and myself used two 5D MKII’s to execute the majority of the shoot, being 21.1 megapixel full frame sensor DSLR’s retailing at over £2,000 each, the results were obviously very sharp and they handled the shoot incredibly, but even with the advancement of digital technology, there is an undeniable magic that traditional film still possesses over digital. The dynamic range that analogue film can capture within a scene is still beyond any digital sensor, more so even than a 40 megapixel digital back
Here are a couple of examples of our 120 film shots:
