FYI: not so long ago we used to deliver movies to various countries and the contracts stated must be shot on film, (by then we used digiBetas) , so to avoid problems we exposed 100 ASA film and then in edit suite we ran an infinite dissolve over the whole film. A beautiful soft grain look.... We managed to get away with it for years. The depth of focus we "fidgeted" during the shoot by using longer lenses. So,instead of 80 mm we used 120 mm but from further distance to get the classic 80mm CU.

...and never mind how we faked a letterbox ( 1 : 85) from then 4:3....
