The 8mm and 16mm camera props used in the film had real film inside them, with LaBelle being taught how to use the cameras so that what was shot with them on set could be developed for use in the film, as well as how to cut and splice film stock using the editing machines and film projectors of the period.

Steven Spielberg was 'hiding' from his own story — until 'The Fabelmans' Steven Spielberg says he's been hiding from his own story since he was 17. The Fabelmans is a lightly fictionalized version of his life, without raptors, sharks, or historical figures to hide behind.

Is 35mm film making a comeback? ›

Like vinyl, film has never actually gone away.

“When filming on 35mm, each frame consists of a single image taken when the footage is shot. However, when it is filmed digitally, each frame on screen consists of thousands of tiny pixels that are put together to create the image. This gives footage shot on film a more subtle and accurate depiction of the images.”

Film photography is on the rise, and recent developments from camera manufacturers suggest that it's not just a passing trend. Leica, for example, has started re-manufacturing its flagship M6 35mm film camera for ongoing sales. This isn't a limited edition run, either.

Of course, not every black and white image is super sharp, but compared to a color photo of similar variety, they're far sharper. Believe it or not, the best way to see how sharp your lens can be involves converting your images to black and white.

A low ISO film, such as 100 or 200, produces sharper images with less grain, but will require more light to capture an image. A high ISO film, such as 400 or 800, results in brighter images in low-light environments but can introduce more grain in the photo.
