Raeuber Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 As a movie fan and camera enthusiast I'm looking for a site that lists movies / TV series and what kind of film or camera equipment is used during production. Are there sources where one can find this information? I watched "The man from U.N.C.L.E." yersterday and it has a great color look. Since some villain mentioned Kodachrome I suspect that they used Kodachrome for its production but could not find a single site answering this question for sure. Since this is one of the best digital movie camera sites I thought I should ask here first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 You mean like this: https://shotonwhat.com ? > https://shotonwhat.com/the-man-from-u-n-c-l-e-2015.htmlBtw, IMDB also list some tech info, e.g.: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1638355/technical?ref_=tt_dt_spec tupp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tupp Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 @CinegainGood find on shotonwhat.com. That's a great reference. @RaeuberKodachrome film/processing was discontinued in 2010, so it wasn't used on the recent "... U.N.C.L.E." film. Kodachrome was a reversal film, with fairly involved processing. Reversal film is usually not the first choice for narrative work, because reversal film is sort of intolerant to off exposure. If you under-expose/over-expose by 1/2 stop, you could be screwed, which is not good when trying to stay under budget and on time in a long, expensive project. The only time that I ever shot reversal film as motion picture footage was for home movies (8mm/Super8mm) and for one high school project (Ektachrome stock). Nonetheless, Kodachrome was an incredibly saturated, snappy vivid film, and it was used a lot in still work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikkor Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Kodachrome hasn't been used in movies forever, on stills it died definitely five years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raeuber Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Thanks a lot for all the replies. shotonwhat.comThis is exactly what I was looking for.I knew Kodachrome as film for slides but since I have no deep knowledge of film making I was not sure if Kodak did not produce film for movies too.

It was used as "Techicolor monpack" and in 8mm cameras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted January 18, 2016 Super Members Share Posted January 18, 2016 Kodachrome was used in 16mm motion film. I have two rolls at home. Use them for testing cameras and practicing loading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
