Good video, like the commentary...gave it a thumbs up. However, not much of a "vs." to speak of. I have no idea which shots are Gold 200 and which are Portra 400. Would have been nice to hear you're thoughts on which one was more forgiving, and what you had to do in post to get them to look pretty good.

It’s like someone put Jason and Caleb’s personality on a map and selected the point directly between the two. Nice video.

Kodak Gold 200 is such a perfect, reliable choice for film photography. I’ve used it with my Minolta X-700, and it always delivers great colors and sharp results. Definitely a go-to film!
