hey /p/, weird question. What's up with the magazine-esque film grain on these types of photos? If I'm shooting film, how do I get this effect?
there's something distinctly "japanese" about these types of photos but I can't put my finger on it. is this just a retarded question or is there something here?

actually just looks like a basic film emulation effect you could do in any photo processor by clicking four buttons

I'd rather think it's a render and not a photo.

tic-80 is pretty recent so this is probably just some film sim

This look is reminiscent of what you might get out of a film stock like Fuji 400H. That film was notoriously cool in color tone compared to Kodak.

To get this effect in digital I would: bring back the highlights and lower contrast to create the neutral look. I would shift the white balance slightly towards the green side, and I would apply a large grain with subtle, low intensity.

so were older magazines just using fuji then? I feel like I see this film grain specifically in Japanese magazines but may I'm being turbo autistic. I've got some modern fuji 400 speed film but I doubt it's the same formula as the classics.

correct, this is a pic of a uconsole by clockworkpi. just seeing the advert triggered my film grain autism though, I've always wanted to recreate it in film

Those old stocks like Pro 400H are all discontinued now, so it would be impractical to shoot with them.
The sample image you provided to me looks like digital grain. It would be similar to what I would get out of my X100VI with grain set to "Large" and "Strong". picrel

Its graded to green, but most crucially, ultra soft even lighting, fine digital grain overlay.

thanks, so basically just make sure you have super even soft lighting and shoot at super low iso to minimize actual film grain? maybe using a tungsten film stock?

the image you have posted has been used in promotion for the clockwork pi since before it existed. it is almost certainly a render, probably this graphic is produced by ray tracing a 3d model. I have seen this sort of processing/effect on a few renders, I would guess that it is a built in filter in a popular software. I have heard it described as high frequency noise

Unless you're shooting slide film the white balance of the film is irrelevant. And unless you have a bunch of colors that are going to shift when grading for green so is the film stock, really. I would just use Portra or something for the tonez.
