Handle the camera
Get hands-on with a professional Super 16mm camera and experience the physical language of shooting on film.
THINK16 / SUPER 16MM
Slow down.
Look.
Commit.
A hands-on filmmaking experience built around Super 16mm film. For filmmakers who want to understand the image by making it.
Explore Think1601 / WHY 16
Film makes every decision matter.
Digital filmmaking gives us abundance. Film introduces consequence. Every frame has a cost. Every exposure asks you to look, measure, decide and commit.
Think16 uses that discipline as a learning experience. Not nostalgia. Not a museum piece. A contemporary way to reconnect with the craft of cinematography.
02 / THE EXPERIENCE
Expose with intent
Work through exposure, lenses, framing and the discipline that comes from having a finite amount of film.
Follow the image
Understand the complete photochemical journey from camera to laboratory processing and scanning.
Learn by doing
A small-group environment where questions, mistakes and discoveries become part of the learning.
03 / EQUIPMENT
ARRI / SUPER 16 / HI SPEED
