MARIA | 500T 8mm + 250D & 500T 16mm + 500T, 50D, 250D & Double-X B&W 35mm “For character-driven stories like this, I prefer to shoot on film,” says Lachman. “There’s a life and depth to the film negative, through the exposure of the RGB layers and the random grain structure, that seems to breathe and feels very human. Also, for me, film is like oil paint in the way it renders color and mixes between the colors. Digital just does not have the same depth or texture from the flat, pixel-fixated plane of the sensor.” Ed Lachman Cinematographer Edward Lachman used three different film formats, 8mm, 16mm & 35mm to reference the times and the way Maria Callas would have looked between the 1930s and the 1970s. A portion of the Super 8 footage was shot using Kodak’s NEW Super 8 Camera.
