In my experience with still film, slide looks great processed in c41 as it tends to exaggerate everything but I dont really like negs in e6 as the colour looks messy. Or at least the look is no where near as nice to me... Do you know if the results are similar this way?

i really dont know all the details cuz i work in video and when i need film shot i get someone to do it.

my friend's movie looked way better-- that film in the youtube looks overexposed and therefore the lovely color saturation of ektachrome is lost. hence the need for good metering.

the reason i know this is cuz i recently did some test shots on ektrachrome to see if it was worth it to shoot in film over video. actually shot in film too-- but the ektachrome looked fucking awesome when it was well exposed, washed out when not. negative film is a bit more tolerant of extremes. as you can see i have no theory, only empirical knowledge of this shit.

but for xperiment, try stuff.

i could email my friend and ask him what processed he used exactly-- he'd do weird shit like bury the can of film for 3 months etch-- but the thing is that even if i know, his video is on dvd and i'd have to rip it and blah blah . just experiment! go for it.
