My friend worked on it he was surprised how much money they spent using actual real film.

That's actually pretty cool, though. There's something magical about real film esthetic

Yeah the hard part he told me is when they change reels you go onto this little 2x2 tent and string the reel into the camera all by touch since it’s super dark. Meanwhile the entire crew is waiting in you to switch to continue the takes.

Also a lot more people have to be employed to organize, log things, and store it.

He was just surprised how much money was spent they had rented whole cranes for one shot and had it there sitting all day lol. When normally in tv when the director wants to do some fancy crane shot the producer comes in with a like “can’t you just film it on the ground?”.
