Why is it more complex to make holograms with film instead of plates?
It’s because holographic film sheets can easily move during exposure. If the holographic film bends or moves even one thousandth of an inch during exposure, your hologram will not turn out. Instead, you will see gray blotches, irregular-shaped rings when you try to view the hologram, or worse. One way to minimize film movement is by sandwiching the holographic film sheet between two glass plates. For details, see our article “How to Use Holographic Film”.
