SFX

Process: ECN-2

Use: KODAK SFX 200T Color Negative Film is opti- mized for traveling matte shots, so foreground action photographed against a blue or green screen can be sepa- rated more cleanly from the background when it’s scanned into the digital format. In complex composite shots, this film can save time in postproduction.

General Properties: KODAK SFX 200T Color Negative Film is a medium speed film balanced for tung- sten light. It intercuts seamlessly with other KODAK Color Negative Films used to record live action footage. This film features microfine grain, unprecedented sharpness, high resolving power, wide exposure latitude and accurate tone reproduction for the most difficult compositing applications.
