Montana and Wyoming on 16mm Film - Travel Film

- 6 months ago, some friends and I took a 10 day road trip across the American west. We went through the Tetons, then Yellowstone and finally up to Glacier National Park. It was one of the most memorable trips of my life. Both Wyoming and Montana have always held a special place in my heart. The truly are incredible places of sheer beauty and wild splendor. I hope this film gives you a piece of what the American west feels like.

This was not just a travel film, This was a piece of art
Wow thank you so much!
Extremely impressive, it honestly brought the immersion of being filmed at least a couple decades ago until I saw the 6 feet apart sign at the very end.
Thank you!! I appreciate it. And lol true
Stunningly beautiful! There is still no substitute for real film and a skilled cinematographer. Your Bolex is of course Super 16 modded. What a great format!
Thank you so much! I agree there is nothing like film.
0:11 Hoooo leeeee what a shot.
Haha thanks Etienne!
Some of these shots are utterly breathtaking! They feel unreal almost like you’re looking at a painting.
Wow, thank you!
There really is some indefinable quality of grain and light to film that makes my heart ache. It is almost like looking at the world I grew up in transplanted into an alternate present where history went differently and film remained a high art and a ghostly record of a very different and more human place.
I feel that. Film to me will always have a transporting quality, where as digital feels too close to reality. Not to mention that film will always capture colors more accurately because of it being a chemical process so there’s something to True tones instead of manufactured ones. Just my thoughts. It’s definitely my favorite art medium.
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks man!
This is so awesome.
On my knees. I feel jealous of this astonishing and peaceful nature footage. Beautiful North America.
Wow thank you! North America is insanely beautiful. Blessed to live here
the colours are absolutely stunning
Thank you!!
Wow what an amazing little film! Everything is great: the compositions, the content, the sound and the music. It give the video a great and powerful mood.
You really created a masterpiece!
Keep up with your work, it's quite impressive! :)
Wow thank you so much!! I will!
Absolute beauty. As a native Montanan, this brings me great joy!
Ahh thanks man! I actually just recently moved to Kalispell. Couldn’t resist this beautiful place.
@@taylorwerfelmann Heck yeah man! I come to Kalispell pretty often for documentary work. Always bored not knowing anyone out there lol
Stunning pictures, every frame is perfect 👌🏻
Thank you! I really appreciate the love!
Awesome. FILM ROCKS!
YES! Agreed.
This is one of the most underrated video on CZcams.
Wow thank u so much!!
@@taylorwerfelmann No, thank you. The video is absolutely stunning.
@@jonesbbq307 well I appreciate that. Hoping to make more videos like this in the future
Captured the west very beautifully, well done
Thank you man!!
Amazing!
Loved this, beautiful compositions!
Thank you!
Viewing this from Ireland (which has many beautiful places) but there's a majesty and bigger scale to the landscapes in states like Wyoming and Montana - and you make a great case for film - and not to overlook that it's the person behind the camera - "watching out for the light" - that's all important - well done !!
Thanks so much! I agree I’ve also been to Ireland years ago. There’s just some sort of charm the west brings with its huge landscapes and hometown culture. Film was a no brainer for this project because it needed a timeless feel to it! Thanks for the support.
this is just beautiful!
I love ektachrome especially on greens it always gets the best greens out of any filmstock, colors pop and are really vibrant and nice. I also love neon on signs or colors on signs on ektachrome they pop out and jump out at you.
This is so well done! The visuals are incredible and the atmosphere you created with the sound design is so immersive
Thank you Matt!! Hoping to make another film like this one soon!
I have no words for this perfect video, with that 16mm and that editing, im speechless
Wow… thank you. That means a lot.
Great shots and sound. Great feel. Thanks for sharing.

absolutely beautiful!

Amazed at this footage, It is so beautiful I can't believe it. Just bought a 16mm and hope I can produce the same feelings in my shots. Great work man !
Thank you! It was such a joy to create. What 16mm did you purchase?
@@taylorwerfelmann I bought the krasnogorsk3 for quite cheap. I fell like its a good started for now as I have no experience with motion picture. You got an insta for your work btw ?
@@kingjulian2132 that’s sick! Ya from what I’ve heard and seen those are awesome! Ya my insta is @taylorwerfelmann
I am at loss of words... This is very beautiful sir, thank you for sharing this experience with the rest of us :)
Wow thank you! It’s my pleasure to share!
Beautiful shoot!

Same here man!! I so appreciate the love!
This one's awesome 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Just came across this jewel, wonderful work man.
Thank you Grey!
Stunning
damn this feels so nostalgic
Insanely good
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Beautiful film. Some of those mountain shots look like Remington paintings.
Thank you! 16mm film takes the cake!
Totally beautiful, well done. Why would anyone want cold, boring digital when real film is still available? The colour saturation, the warmth, the definition of the lights and darks and the contrasts can't be replicated by approximated pixel interpretations. You've done the film world proud with this. Viva le Bolex..!
Foreal! Can’t agree more. Wish it was cheaper but 🤷🏼♂️. I appreciate all the kind words! Need to get back out there and shoot a follow up to this!
That's really beautiful.
Thanks Alvaro!
this is some gorgeous work!!!
Thanks so much!
WOW. I'm from New Zealand and I'm heading over to the west of the US to travel next year. This film makes me sooo excited you have no idea
Heck ya!! Glad it made you excited! Enjoy your travels!
What a vibe
Thank you!
Holy cow. So good man.
Haha thank you so much! Means a lot!
Digital will NEVER look this good.
This is so beautiful!
Thank you Caleb!
This is incredible
Thank you!!
Magnifique !
Awesome video man, and thank you for sharing it! :) God bless!
God bless! My pleasure!!
Very beautiful!
Thank you!!
Hi ther! Great video.. Just wondering what you used to record sound and us this a reflex or non reflex camera..thanks..
Thanks! I bought sounds for it, and yes reflex!
Extremely beautiful 🌻
Thank you!!
I absolutely love this! excellent work! What film stock did you use?
Thanks Luke! Kodak 250D and 500T
This is beautiful :)
Thanks man!! Love the west
My girlfriend is a pro videographer/photographer and wants to start using film. She sent me this video and we’re inspired by the authenticity and personal touch that goes into film. We also want to see Utah and Wyoming like this. Thanks for posting
Yes! So glad I could inspire. Shooting film has forever changed my view of the medium. It’s an incredible experience! Get out there and do it!
Amazing
Thank you!!!
That first landscape shot is insane! I mean the whole video is great but damn! Do you remember what lens you used on that?
Thanks man! Ya I believe it was a 16mm or 24mm
Muy bueno !
You captured the energy of these landscapes with such beauty. I just got a h16 and was wondering were developed your film? Cheers!
Thanks so much! Wow lucky! Spectra film in LA!
Very nice!
Thank you!
How are you people so talented ❤❤
Haha thank you!
so beautiful
Amazing! I just bought a Russian K3 and can’t wait to go on a trip. What film stock did you use and where’d you get it processed and scanned?
Heck ya! I used Kodak 250D and 500T for the night stuff. I got it scanned at spectra film in LA.
Really enjoyed this! Which film stock(s) did you use?
Thanks! Kodak 250D and 500T
what film roll did you use? and btw this is amazing especially the night scenes omg
Thank you!! Kodak 250D and 500T
Makes me want to travel there
You should! It’s an incredible place!
this is very beautiful
Thanks Zunaid!
Hi Taylor, thanks for sharing these incredible places with us, you have chosen amazing lights too. May I ask you which film did you use it for? About lenses... maybe Switar Rx lenses? Thanks a lot, Francesco from Italy
Hey Francesco! I appreciate that! I’m glad to share it! I used Kodak 250D and 500T for the nighttime stuff. I forget the lenses. It was a rental camera!
Looks amazing! What film stock did you use?
Thank you! Kodak 250D and 500T
Very nice framing of landscapes, not a foot of film wasted.
Wow thank you so much!
Wow che bello 👏
that was beautiful. Makes me want to grab my K-3 and get out
Do it! Wish I had one sitting around haha
amazing
Thank you!
Also how did you get audio was it overlaid with music bed stuff? or did you record digitally on the side?
Ya! So I used music bed for the actual soundtrack and then the audio of the Forrest etc came from a sound effect licensing library. I forget the name!
What kind of lenses did you use?
Beautiful and wonderful sound design. What stock did you shoot this on?
Thank you! 250D and 500T
@@taylorwerfelmann Awesome. Did you use any filters for the 500T or just color correct afterwards? Did you overexpose your shots at all?
It is so amazing!!! How did You record the sound? But not with a ReeltoReel Tape Recorder?!?
Best regards from Germany
Thank you!! I actually found the sound online! I did all the mixing etc. and thanks Germany! Always wanted to go there!
Amazing work, would you mind listing what lenses you used please? Cheers!
Hey man. Honestly the camera was a rental so I don’t remember everything. All I remember was a 24mm and an 16mm I believe!
What settings did you use?
Beautiful footage. Ive been messing with my Bolex more lately, random question! Are you loading your film in complete darkness?
Thanks Dennis! Ya I played it safe and did in total darkness. But if you are having light leaks it could be a million different things. A lot of those cameras leak out of the cover of the film holder. Lot of guys tape up ever edge. I didn’t do that but obviously the one I used leaked with the final night footage so 🤷🏼♂️ I always go with better safe then sorry.
Absolutely incredible. What did you use for light metering?
Thank you!! Sekonic L-308x!
@@taylorwerfelmann nice! That’s what I have too. Any tips for metering / lighting for my first roll of film through my new h16? Do you just set the iso to match the films and meter normally like for 35mm?
@@HunterSkowronPDXsweet! Ya I do. I basically try to meter for the mid tones if that helps. That light meter especially can be tough to use because it’s not a spot meter. I take a lot of time and care to find the mid-tone and meter for that. Or try metering different light in the scene and then shoot it somewhere in the middle depending on what you’re looking for. I’m always overexposing when in doubt. Easier to save in post.
This was amazing. Really loved this! Could you please tell me the name of the lake at 0:22? Seems like an incredible place. Thanks!
Hey thank you!! It’s called McDonald lake in Glacier national park :)
What is the red undulation appearing on the right side of the frame? Is it light leaking into the camera?
Ya idk what happened, I think when I removed that spool it got a little exposed to light!
Just wow. What do you use to color grade?
Thanks Kami! I used premiere and my good friends “wedding lut” that he sells on his site called lutcompany.com highlyyy recommend it. I use the lut as a base for every project.
B E A utiful my man ! 🔥🔥
Thank you!!!
16mm film produces the most beautiful images I've ever seen. My dreams are in 16mm. If I could buy a pair of glasses that like, filtered my vision so that everything looked like 16mm, the only way they're coming off is when you peel them from my corpse.
Yes. Yes to all of this.
Beautiful footage, did you use noise reduction? The grain is so fine.
Thank you! No I did not actually.
so beautiful, I just picked up a super 16d EBM can't wait to stick a roll through it, was this s16 or did you zoom/crop? either way looks amazing.
Thanks man! Ya 16mm is a blast! I did not crop, I rented the bolex from sharegrid, it’s funny cause I can’t remember if it was super16 but I’m almost positive considering the frame size I got. Haha never even realized till you said that.
@@taylorwerfelmann deffo is s16 bud :) looks lovely
What makes this great is that you didn't wave the camera around. Good work.
Haha. Something about a steady shot with atmospheric sounds just hits right.
@@taylorwerfelmann Also, I used live out there, sigh.
God is so good! You are so very talented !
Amen! And ahh you are too kind ❤️ glory to Jesus!
What type of camera? Absolutely beautiful
Bolex h16. Thanks!!
Stunning. A dream. How much did it cost to buy the film and develop it?
I think it was around $800 but I can’t fully remember
