Were people really still filming in 16mm by the 90s? Why didnt

bump for blair witch

Because you're autistic and the average viewer wouldn't know the difference.

>CP 16s are still often used in small productions and in film schools. Many of these cameras were donated or sold off when news crews adopted videotape.

According to wikipedia, at least. I'd say it makes sense, given that they're supposed to be students who are renting a school camera to make something professional looking.

isn't the set up of the film them shooting a documentary? back then film students still used Bolexes and B&W 16mm

>Were people really still filming in 16mm by the 90s?
Yes. Lots of popular TV shows then were filmed in 16mm, including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Stargate Sg1, and Sex and the City. Some movies were, too; I know at least Clerks and Leaving Las Vegas were filmed in 16mm.

Actually, isn't this movie supposed to take place in 1994? That makes Clerks pretty comparable to the premise of BWP, as a somewhat amateur film made on a tiny budget.

Does not exist, such wasted potential.

People like you are why Adam Wingard was allowed to make a terrible sequel to this movie.

I'm talking about something so subtle that it would be impossible to notice it unless you're looking for it frame by frame. Like a disturbing shadow flashing by or some strange face appearing in the dark that is only visible with an image editor.

That still doesn't sound like a good idea. What do you think it would add to the movie? The point of it being presented through found footage is that you experience the story the same way the characters do, and they never see or understand what's fucking with them.

Video was completely frowned upon in the 90's. If you used it you were not taken seriously. Some indie films used video and got some attention but it really was George that set the precedent for digital when he decided to shot Episode II completely digitally
