      Color film is easier to process then B&W. One temp, one time, reuse chems until they're exhausted. The only difficult part use to be was keeping the temp but using a sous vide fixes that.

    A few notes on the process that I haven’t seen mentioned yet:
    -Wear gloves when loading the film and processing, so the sweat from your hands doesn’t cause the film to jam in the reel.
    -Store mixed color chemistry in empty 1L Water bottles and label them. Squeeze the excess air out so the chemistry can last as long as possible.

    • @cliffsmith23
      @cliffsmith23 Před 3 lety +6

      If you're storing photographic chemicals in clear bottles, make sure you keep them in a cool, dark place. Also, if you have children or idiots around, it's not a great idea to store toxic chemicals in bottles that might be mistaken for a drink. You can get lightproof concertina bottles for precisely this purpose. I used to have loads of them when I used and developed film, but I gave all my darkroom kit to a school about 15 years ago.

  • @Google_Corporation
    @Google_Corporation Před 3 lety +921

    You really shouldn't just open the developing canister and pull it out. I use those exact canisters in my darkroom so Im sure this will work for you guys too; rather than pulling the film out, take the exterior cap off (not the one you screw in, but the flat one that goes on top - fun fact: the screw-in cap is only light-tight, not liquid-tight), and pour the liquid out. Then pour in water that has been sous vide-d to the same temperature as your developing agent, agitate for about 30 sec, then pour out, and replace with new water until you get 5min of water bathing total. This is to make sure that as much of the agent comes off as possible; if any drops remain on the film, it can cause weird circles of artifacting. Washing it under running water both will not get all the agent off (developing agents are usually hydrophobic/nonmiscible in water) and potentially thermal shock the film, which could damage it.
    Also, when agitating, be sure to stop at the end of each cycle and tap it on the table and let it rest a little, so you release as many air bubbles as possible, as bubbles can cause the film to develop unevenly, leaving artifacts.
    I haven't finished the video yet, this is just everything in terms of easy-to-fix mistakes that I've noticed as of 7:07.
    Edit: oh yeah also don't pour fixer down the drain; it has silver/silver halide particles in it, which will mess up your drains/filters, leaving you with a massive plumbing bill to pay.
    Edit 2: 14:20 Clint what the hell you pushed it FOUR STOPS? Absolute mad lad!

      One thing I'll disagree on is the washing process. As long as the water is not too hot or too cold, it's fine not to sous-vide it. I also just leave it under a tap of running water whilst still in the developing tank and leave it there for 10 minutes. I only do that after having rinsed the film with wetting agent though.

  • @Reversefilms
    @Reversefilms Před 3 lety +718

    As someone who's developed a lot of film this was a little painful to watch at times xD
    EDIT: I've got some tips.
    SERIOUSLY wear gloves, and eye protection. Especially when working with the BLIX, that stuff is straight up bleach and you do not want it on your skin or in your eyes.
    Get some stabiliser for your films final rinse, stabiliser is usually super concentrated so you can make a lot from a tiny little bottle, it stops your negatives fading over time and prevents drying spots, the last liquid to touch your films should NOT be water, especially hard grimy L.A water.
    Also I'd recommend not sticking the Sous Vide directly into the chemicals to heat them, it's better to use the water bath approach like you did with the colour chemistry. Also get a film squeegee !
    another quick edit: Stabiliser is really only used for colour, c41 and e6, but you can use a wetting agent as the final rinse for B&W to avoid drying spots too :)
    Good luck in future ! :)

    Guys, remember to wear gloves and a mask when developing, the chemichals are toxic!
    Also, in film is better to underexpose because you can develop the missing stops later with the chemicals, although is trial and error.
    Yes, you can recover the highlights on lightroom later if you overexpose the film, but you will be adding a small amount of digital noise

    • @Folkert123
      @Folkert123 Před 3 lety +8

      Its not true that you can recover underexposed by developing them for a longer time. Pushing and pulling is always meant to control contrast, not exposure. Otherwise different iso films would be unnecessary. There are some great videos on youtube about this subject, you should look it up
      you can overexpose film for 6/7 stops, but underexposing only works for like 2 or 3 stops before colors and contrast starts being wonky (depends on the film) There are also great videos about this on youtube

      Don't listen to that sourpuss Steven. If you're passionate about learning photography, you'll get just as much out of film, if not more, than you would a DSLR or mirrorless. You don't have as much of a crutch with film because you don't get instant feedback about your photos, meaning you'll have to trust yourself for both composition and for exposure. Pick up some developing kits, a tank, maybe a sous vide (I've done without, it's not impossible just time-consuming) a cheap SLR and some film. If you take your time to line things up and put the hours in to learn, you'll thrive with film in ways that you might not with digital photography.

      @ipokefan4 Před 3 lety +2

      @@steviegbcool Probably not much. My comment was aimed toward someone who was still learning, someone without a defined style or much knowlege on photography. If you're someone who's been in the industry fro two decades, you either know all there is to know about photography, or are comfortable in what you shoot, and might even get frustrated at how regressive film might seem in comparison.
      But, if you wanted to be less reliant on your gear and more on yourself, your own artistic direction, I personally think film gives you that. You don't have the luxury of double checking every shot you take like with digital, and you certainly don't get more than a few frames/second with film either, meaning you'd have to line things up yourself and trust that you know what you're doing in the moment, rather than trusting you know how to post-process an image later. I learned photography on film, and might biased as such, but I do really think that having that background inform my work as a whole helps me more than it does hinder me, and I was trying to express that before.

When you got a cassette jam you would use a bag on location or best of all a darkroom. Open the back, cut the film and then feed it back into the canister. You could then send it off for machine processing. When you were a poor student those same reloadable cassettes were used to take the tails/short spools from 35mm cine shoots you might be given/buy cheap.

    My question throughout this process: "Why didn't they just mod one of their rooms into a dark room? It would eliminate that stress of ruining the films from exposing them to room light."

      It's expensive and hard to seal a room from light, I have a darkroom at home...

      They can't film it haha? Simple as that
      It's more entertaining for us if we watch the process with the bag then just stare a door they come in and out of
      Unless we want like thermal cam of them inside

      Benjamin S Huh? I have a windowless room and a roll of duct tape that beg to differ.

      It's often a good idea to do things in a relatively dimly lit room. If you expose the surface of unprocessed film directly to room light, it's ruined, but some kinds of accident may leave a one with some salvageable images. Having bright room lights versus dimmer lights may be the difference between losing five frames or fifteen.

    I worked as a one-hour lap technician and manager for years and years. This brought back some memories. Oh, the things I could do in a dark bag blind...haha.

    By far my favorite episode. Reminded me of my dad when he would develop his own pics of us in the Bahamas b4 digital.

    You are having fun so in my opinion you are doing everything right, Film is like magic and should be appreciated as such. I love this medium for that, nice work 👍

    I would love to see more film developing content! This was super entertaining and looks like something you could do a couple update videos on to show the progression of skill.
