...was caught on film...
Super-8? Tri-X Pan? Panatomic-X? Kodachrome?

Why can't people use the correct technical terminology?

I don't believe much is really caught on film anymore (as I'm sure you know). I used to prefer Kodachrome 8mm when I was actually fiming with my 8mm camera, and later a Super 8, but enjoyed using Tri-X Pan for fast action black & white still shots. Ektachrome was my favorite color film.

I have seen a number of older actual film shots on Youtube mislabeled video by the ignorant. 1930s video? I don't think so.

I loved Tri-X Pan. My darkroom was equipped with a Simon Omega B22 XL and a bunch of Nikon lenses. I bought film on the 100 foot spools. Those were good times. Recently I gave my entire darkroom away ... and still have an empty spot in my heart and the closet.

Perhaps it is a personality flaw that I hate people referring to digital image capture as "filming". I think it comes from reverence for real film.
