In the digital age, more and more cinematographers and videographers are striving to recreate the unique aesthetics of analog filmmaking. This is not surprising – film imagery possesses a special magic that gives pictures a unique character and depth.
However, shooting on real film today is a complex and expensive process, not accessible to everyone. That's why the emergence of professional tools capable of authentically simulating film aesthetics in digital format is becoming a real breakthrough for the creative community.
