    Hey Ritchie, i stumbled upon this article by PetaPixel.

    Mind if you wanna try replicating this look ?

      I have been looking at it. It’s an odd film. Ilford claims that it is a brand-new emulsion that they developed, which very well could be true (I’m a bit skeptical myself). I believe that Phoenix 200 is a reversal motion picture film without Remjet. By saying that it is a negative film meant for C41 chemistry, it produces a cross process look with bold and unusual colors and pronounced grain. It also has pronounced halation. Interestingly, Kodak has an Ektachrome reversal motion picture film that, with the Remjet layer removed and developed in C41 instead of E6, produces a similar (although not identical) look. Phoenix 200 also seems to look similar to cross processed Agfa CT Precisa. I’m not sure how possible it is to replicate on Fujifilm cameras, probably only to a degree.
