<p style=”margin-bottom: 0in”>I think too that the gamma of video and film has much to do with the difference in look.
Video has a more washed out harsh look and you can bring it down by adjustments to the gamma curve.
<p style=”margin-bottom: 0in”>Lighting in the shadows or I should details in the shadows is another thing the hurts video and that would take you back to lighting which you already know.

<p style=”margin-bottom: 0in”>I’ve never done video to film but there are some post software like Magic Bullet which will make video look just like film. I have seen test from it and it works!!!
<p style=”margin-bottom: 0in”>I have also read however that if you know you’re going to film out that you should not do anything to the video and just shoot it straight and the film transferring company will make any adjustments as needed.
I don’t know if you have gotten that far on your project yet but I would talk to the film transferring people and see what they say. It may save you much time and some money…
<p style=”margin-bottom: 0in”>Keep us updated on your project and what you learn.
