Kodak Launches VERITA 200D: A New Colour Negative Film Stock.

Kodak has officially announced the release of VERITA 200D (5206/7206), its eagerly anticipated first new colour negative motion picture film stock in many years. Available in 65mm, 35mm and 16mm formats.

VERITA 200D is built around a shorter but exceptionally rich dynamic range compared to the VISION3 family, delivering detailed highlights, high colour saturation, deep blacks and warm skin tones. It's a stock that pulls toward a more classical, dense cinematic image.

In advance of its formal release, the stock was used across a significant body of commercials and music videos, a number of which Cinelab processed and scanned. That pre-release work with this stock gave our team direct, practical experience with VERITA 200D under real production conditions. Getting to know the new stock well.

That experience extends to features. A24's The Death of Robin Hood, written and directed by Michael Sarnoski and lensed by cinematographer Pat Scola, who used VERITA 200D across select sequences alongside Kodak 250D and 500T. Cinelab handled film processing and 4K scanning on the production. [Read more about The Death of Robin Hood]

Kodak developed the stock in close collaboration with Sam Levinson and cinematographer Marcell Rév, whose work on HBO's Euphoria Season 3 became the stock's highest-profile showcase. But the breadth of commercial and music film work that preceded its launch speaks to how widely VERITA 200D had already been put to use before it was formally available.
