usually I'd say no grain, but the grain looks good here.

I wanted to feel the grain but not see it, so I made it very small in redcine

I really love the way RCX's "post grain" looks, but honestly I couldn't see a difference in the clip you posted on vimeo. The downloaded version yes, but the one on vim looked pretty much the same, so if web is your intended delivery I wouldn't waste time rendering the grain or applying it to only get in the way of your delivery web compression.

Yes that is true if you ar watching on a 15 inch laptop, but if you watch a 3 min piece with that feel full screen on at least 27 inch, it does give u a diff feel.

Vimeo/Youtube has high - pass (median) image filters, it is kinda nature of h264 compression - almost impossible to keep any of the naturally looking grain after upload/conversion. It das work better with youtube when you uploading 4K resolution, but still kinda "filtered". My intention is not to be keen on grain as long as it goes to the streaming service. But if it mastered as uncompressed, PRO RES 444, high bit rate MPEG, BLU Ray or broadcast HD version on some networks, I vote for grain
