16mm processing filmprocessing singlecamera

film will never die.

In all videos such as this I’ve never seen anyone use an IR camera to show the full darkroom process. Nice addition!

This facility is now Kodak Film Lab London. Thank god it wasn't shut down and broken up/demolished during the film crisis

Fantastic. This reminds me on my time in a lab in Munich. So sad that they closed it down and demolished it in 2013 😢

I have worked in still photography labs and even own a lab currently but never done anything like this. It looks super fun.

[@volkerleiste6191]

is the lab still existing today?

[@tselinsky6452]

Nice video. I remember back in film school I'd balk at how much the labs would charge... but then you realize all the technology and skill and overhead involved and wonder how they could have charged so little. To boot all that toxic chemistry that had to be maintained and then disposed of. It's amazing people are still using film (certainly not me, I've shot enough of it in my time). I wonder how much longer labs like this will be able to justify staying in business, the film nostalgia is still keeping it afloat I suppose.

this is the best hidden chanel on youtube!

Nice video. As usual when people describe film processing, there are a few errors due to slips of the tongue. For instance, after the film has come out of the bleach, it is still sensitive to light. Stick it back in the developer and you will quickly find out that the image will be lost as the whole film develops black. The fixer doesn't just dissolve away the silver compounds that the bleach converted the developed silver into. The fixer also dissolves away the remaining silver halide on the film - this is the stuff that light sensitive stuff that kodak put there in the first place. Only part of the silver halide was exposed in the camera, and hence only part of it was developed in the developer and converted back to silver halide in the bleach. The remaining silver halide is still as light sensitive as ever. You could dry it and put it back in the camera after the bleach (if it still hadn't been exposed to light) and sure enough you would be able to film another image onto it. The primary job of the final rinse these days is just as a wetting agent. The wash after the fixer is the step that removes the salts produced in the fixing stage. Great to see a large photomec in use

Nice comment. As usual when people describe film processing, there are a few errors due to slips of the tongue. For instance, after the film has come out of the bleach, it is still sensitive to light, however the silverhalides that form the negative were developed and bleached away. You could NOT dry it and put it back in the camera after the bleach (if it still hadn't been exposed to light) and sure enough you would be able to film another image onto it.

I lived a year as a middle schooler in Rochester NY, home of Kodak, in the late 2000s. I got to use the dark room once in technology class to develop some 35mm film. Then the dark room was demolished the following year. It was really sad living in Rochester for that brief moment. Things were gloomy as Kodak slowly imploded.

Fantastic, I love to process my own still color film at home and I always wondered how it was done for motion film. Great video.

[@stevyz]

Great craftsmanship! Love his energy

[@blankthoughttv]

so cool. Id. Id almost sell everything and move just to get a CHANCE to work there.
