Kodak Introduces Verita 200D Color-Negative Film Stock
The newly unveiled film stock was developed in collaboration with cinematographer Marcell Rév, ASC, HCA and director Sam Levinson, who first used it on Season 3 of Euphoria.
Eastman Kodak Company announced the availability of Verita 200D 5206/7206, a new color-negative motion-picture film stock, which will be offered in 65mm, 35mm, and 16mm formats.
Developed in collaboration with writer, director and producer Sam Levinson and cinematographer Marcell Rév, ASC, HCA, Verita 200D was commercialized in motion-picture format to achieve the filmmakers' desired aesthetic for Season 3 of the HBO dramatic series Euphoria. The stock has also been selectively trade‑tested by cinematographers internationally over a period of several years. Levinson and Rév exposed more than one million feet of Verita 200D in 35mm and 65mm formats during production on the show.
Numerous other commercials and music films made use of Verita 200D in advance of its formal release, as well as A24’s upcoming The Death of Robin Hood, shot by Pat Scola, ASC and directed by Michael Sarnoski.
“In addition to recent advancements to Vision3 with a new anti‑halation undercoat film structure, the commercialization of Verita 200D underscores Kodak’s continued commitment to providing filmmakers with a variety of the highest‑quality creative tools possible,” said Vanessa Bendetti, Kodak's vice president and head of motion picture, in a statement.
As a specialty motion-picture stock, Verita 200D 5206/7206 is available by request through a Kodak sales representative.
