KODAK has expanded its Motion Picture portfolio with the release of KODAK VERITA 200D Color Negative Film, which will be available in 16mm, 35mm, and 65mm motion picture formats.
KODAK VERITA 200D Color Negative Film is a medium-speed, daylight-balanced film stock that is claimed to deliver gorgeous, bold colors.
With shadows and detailed highlights that differ from VISION3, VERITA 200D is said to render beautiful and warm skin tones, higher color saturation, and deep blacks.
Developed in close collaboration with writer, director, and producer Sam Levinson and cinematographer Marcell Rév, HCA, ASC, VERITA 200D was commercialized in motion picture format to achieve a distinct visual aesthetic for the third season of HBO’s original drama series Euphoria. The stock has also been selectively trade‑tested by cinematographers worldwide over several years.
Compared with Kodak’s VISION3 color negative films, it features a shorter yet exceptionally rich dynamic range for a more classical cinematic look.
Levinson and Rév exposed more than one million feet of VERITA 200D in 35mm and 65mm formats during production of Euphoria Season 3, which premieres April 12, 2026, on HBO and HBO Max, and was shot entirely on KODAK film. The series is also the first television production to shoot significant volumes of large‑format 65mm film.
Additionally, numerous commercials and music films utilized VERITA 200D in advance of its formal release, as well as A24’s upcoming The Death of Robin Hood, written and directed by Michael Sarnoski, starring Hugh Jackman, and lensed by Pat Scola, ASC.
VERITA 200D incorporates KODAK’s proprietary advanced Dye Layering technology with an anti-halation undercoat and process-surviving anti-stat backing layer designed to reduce dust accumulation.
Exposure Index- Daylight (5500K): EI200
Use this index with incident or reflected light exposure meters and cameras marked for ISO or ASA speeds or exposure index. This index applies to meter readings of average subjects made from the camera position or for
readings made from a gray card of 18 percent reflectance held close to and in front of the subject. For unusually light or dark colored subjects, decrease or increase the exposure indicated by the meter accordingly.
As a specialty motion picture stock, VERITA 200D 5206/7206 is available by request through a Kodak sales representative.
