Whatever the film buffs claim about the superior qualities of film, I think
this only applies to material that has been lit, choreographed, shot, edited,
graded, copied and shown as film, by experienced people dedicated to handling
the stuff, in other words, cinema films. If it's shown on television it all
ends up as a video signal anyway so it ought to look the same, but somehow
film shot for television nearly always looks worse, and of course a film
insert in the middle of well made video material simply highlights this fact.

And television shot for television looks very silly when it has the
film-effect randomly applied to it.
Look how terrible Neighbours now looks on Channel 5 - far from 'improving'
the quality it just looks completely ridiculous.

Does anyone know what they do to the sound when applying this process? It
sure as hell isn't left untouched.
