I'm curious what process you used to mimic B&W negative film (other than just desaturating); also, what camera was used? I'm looking at shooting a feature project on Super-8 color negative and going for this type of effect (I'm looking, also, at shooting 16mm b&w, since I own a camera, but would prefer the portability of Super-8 given the nature of the project). Let me know what process you used and how you got the look -- the grain is beautiful and if I hadn't been told it was color stock...
@Liontamarin I appreciate that. The look I liked the most on this was the footage shot on 500T, which gave me the grain. I thought overall the negative stocks turned out better than the reversal. The cameras were varied. The NYC stuff was on a Canon 814 Auto Zoom Electronic, while the subway, candles, and night street stuff was on a Canon 514XL. For the bridges, I used a Bauer C700XLM at 9fps.
@Liontamarin As far as the "de"-coloring, I used Digiffects Delirium Grayscaler plugin in After Effects and adjusted the different color channels. You should be able to use any similar plugin or filter to do the same.
@Feuillade That's true for black and white film, even yellow and orange can work well depending on how it's used. In this case, I used already colored film and made an attempt to mimic a black and white stock (not just by desaturating).
black and white from color neg. looks shockingly great.That music pushed it over the top!

@Mr20054 Thanks! Haven't heard this in awhile and it was fitting for Halloween (today).

If you want the black and white to look better, use a red or a green filter over the lens.
