Just a reminder from [Martin Scorsese](http://insidemovies.ew.com/2014/08/04/martin-scorsese-kodak-film-letter/?ref=cjchilvers.com) and the reason I recommend some kind of analogue output your photographs:

> “Everything we do in HD is an effort to recreate the look of film. Film, even now, offers a richer visual palette than HD. And, we have to remember that film is still the best and only time-proven way to preserve movies. We have no assurance that digital informaton (sic) will last, but we know that film will, if properly stored and cared for.”
