My wife hates the look of Aerochrome. Can't wait to show her this. Thanks Jason!

[@pn1555]

*ex-wife.

[@sputumtube]

Absolutely agree with her. Jason's obsession with turning vegetation red baffles me. No matter how excellent the composition, whatever the subject matter etc., they just look cartoonishly stupid to me. Still, each to their own I guess.

You know it's gonna be a banger of a shot when Jason says "This shot turned out... okay, I guess."

[@antlerbraum2881]

You know it’s bad if he sighs and says “this one…”

[@teaandtechtime]

Thanks for the shoutout and more v2 updates soon! Loved the video and amazed at the results you are getting. I can’t wait to check out which ones made it into the coveted portfolio!

[@ckhicks]

I wonder if you could do this with an XPan…

[@the.jonfernandez]

15:38 this might be one of the best can pops I've ever seen. The mist was glorious

[@FAKEROONEY]

At this point if Kodak doesn't put you on the Aerochrome box when they bring it back they are probably going to the photography inferno.

[@tlm2096]

I'd be excited to see what Attic Darkroom could do with this method given his proficiency at tri-chroming.

[@BUBLESNEEDVIEWS]

yesss the goat

[@davinmetcalf704]

Today is a good day

[@gatsbye53]

Yasssss! Baxter in the first 60 seconds!

[@tHaH4x0r]

12:20 Instead of merging the two layers together to only let it take effect on the red layer, you can 'alt+click' between the adjustment and the layer. That makes the adjustment only affect the layer right below it, without having to 'destructively' add them together.

[@GabrielSykes]

This makes me wish I could put individual comments in my "useful" playlist.

"So I trichromed it" -Attic darkroom, probably

[@codyhoerauf3495]

is no one going to talk about how perfect the Mountain Dew opening was at 15:37

[@bagnome]

In theory, you could put a prism in front of the lenses to split one image into three and that would get rid of the parallax. How you would achieve that, I don't know. I remember seeing someone 3d print a medium format camera and use a large format lens on it. Imagine doing something like that. Have a prism split the image coming in through the lens and have filters over three spots on the medium format film. Could be 3 6x3 images, or the same space as a 6x9 image.

[@jkerman5113]

He did this in a previous video

[@bagnome]

@@jkerman5113 He had three separate cameras. I think it would be neat to combine that idea with this. Have one camera and use a prism to capture on a single strip of film.

[@azithoth6860]

It actually shouldn't be that hard engineering wise I think, you can put the lens anywhere you want and the three filters are already in a line, so just slap a mirror and three right angle triangular prisms in a line. The image is reflected down and also passed through, ezpz

[@HumayunQureshi]

The monochrome combination method reminds me of my astrophotography image stacking/processing. I use a cooled monochrome 16-bit (65K shades of grey) CCD camera, that I use to shoot through luminance, and RGB filters for broadband, and hydrogen alpha, oxygen III and sulphur II for narrowband images.

[@markmanning8933]

Thanks!

[@grainydaysss]

cheers mark

[@julianprzybysawski8543]

IR 400 is a cool stock because you can rinse off the antihalation layer with ordinary tap water and get a real nice dreamy look. Mind you with this process it wouldn't be red cinestill halations, but a soft glow.

[@sonholee5769]

Glendale! That library there is really cool. It's an arts themed library. Which makes sense. It is a very rich part of Glendale.

[@PrebleStreetRecords]

Oh man wait until Attic Darkroom sees this. He'll (continue to) trichrome everything.

[@hazyipa]

This is the best one yet

[@timothysears6970]

I know it's going to be a good day when Jason drops another video.

[@Ivandotjpeg]

Hey dude. I was able to duplicate the aerochrome look on digital, straight out of camera. I know, it’s digital, but it’s also medium format. An old phase one digital back on my Hassie H1. The results are out of this world, and look just like the EIR stuff. Just like you, I miss the EIR stuff and have 6 rolls in 35 sitting in my freezer.

Fantastic. I love it, though I will likely still be doing my weird and slow trichromes with Rollei IR. Then there’s the Macophat IR that has been gathering dust… I love your channel. You and Baxter Rock!

[@sdkgodeacs]

Thank you for your service

Dude... I was so nervous I'd had to wait another fortnight for a Jason vid, haha!

[@ChrisEdgecombePhoto]

Fascinating, thanks for putting this idea to the test, not completely sold on the look but you cant deny the uniqueness of the images it produces.

At this point I think Jason is secretly sponsored by Mountain Dew.

[@mattgustafson4729]

You seemed excited at this prospect which made me happy. And that made me realize I'm invested in your happiness. That made me realize that your usual contempt in your narration has made watching your channel a bit like watching Mad Men or Bojack, where we hope for a glimpse of happiness through the gloom of the narrative perspective. Cool photos.

Can’t wait until Filmstock ATL 2023

[@andrewjohnson4728]

Awesome. Jason, you are truly a mad scientist

[@vincentbrillant8249]

Pro-tip: precise-align your layers as the first step by using the "difference" blending option to make the process extra easy! Also use the keyboard arrows instead of the mouse to drag and nudge the layers into alignement.

[@Stop4MotionMakr]

[@stevenwagner7520]

Very well done. I will need to try you Photoshop process with my IR and conventional trichromes.

[@Icon206]

You're my hero

[@mcb187]

Actually, Rollei IR is slower than SFX, it is Aviphot 200, with an ISO of around 125. But the dev times push the film. Rollei 200, 400S, and IR are all the same film as well.

[@athmaid]

3:12 easily one of my favourite photos you've taken. Reminds me of vaporwave and Drab Majesty

[@CraigSmithviking]

Hi Jason. Have you seen the short film Paradise on The Darkroom Rumour? . Lots of Aerochrome shots. Cool film too about the fires. Take it easy man. 👍And keep on glugging the hot stuff. Come on Kodak!

[@nicksucio]

loved that shot at 5:41

[@dooterino]

I reached out to Steve at Chroma Camera with the in-camera trichrome idea (basically a combo between this method and the beamsplitter method), and while he's very busy at the moment there was definitely some interest! With some luck we may all eventually be shooting beautiful crisp one-shot IR trichromes!

[@garrettmain3712]

The end of this video is the exact opposite of a Peter McKinnon tutorial and I am here for it.

[@pete2226]

Tack! (That's thanks in Swedish)

[@ckhicks]

“Parallaxative effect” was a winner before you even made the video, bravo.

[@GabrielSykes]

Gonna have to try this, I've also been meaning to grab a Kolari IR Chrome filter for my full spectrum digital camera, which gets very close to the aerochrome look, but it's expensive and not film.

[@CookieMonster-nt8hh]

these videos will be the death of me at some point. Jason will say something like "not a speedy, low-light piss missile of a camera" and ill just choke to death on whatever im drinking at the moment. And so ill die as i lived: laughing at semi-funny immature jokes

[@Klektic]

haha im glad u cracked another one open

[@GrainOnTheGo]

BLESSED BE WE COME CLOSER TO AEROCHROME WITH EACH PASSING DAY. But peace will only be had when Kodak gives us what we demand.

[@michele3095]

he dropped 🥰

[@D3lor34n]

Nifty.

[@hagentrondheim3675]

Amazing results. I am tempted to try it myself (3 exsposures after another...) One question: shouldn`t the infrared have a different focus point ? Or is everything in focus anyway.

[@Ashfielder]

I remember seeing lots of doubters on Reddit thinking you’d used a digital cam to achieve the look. I like that they are wrong.

[@Minolta_Gal]

Very nice results. If I had the patience I would give it a go. But I do not. 😂

[@zeusdeux]

[@JOWAL5]

Babe wake up, new aerochrome video just dropped

[@MessyBunGarage]

Looking svelte, Jason. Oh and nice video too, I guess.

[@dxps26]

for far less pain and suffering, you too can get aerochrome results with a hot-filter delete on any digital camera.

[@spincity850]

Nice that KZbin support 4:3 now without adding the 16 9 black bars etc.

[@jakegreenephoto]

[@emfolkerts]

I wonder if stand development would help preserve a bit more usable shadow detail

[@TheJeffBean]

“My IQ is so low I couldn’t even find the test,” and then breaks out “paralaxative,” as if that’s not the most brilliant thing I’m going to hear today.

Here comes my therapy 😌

[@user-cd8ri1mc6s]

I want ISO 3200 C-41 film developed stock. That is my Dream. Portra 800 will do nicely without a problem. However. You need your Aerochrome, don't run out of the Mt. Dew (A Tennessee Invention by the way, invented in Knoxville by the way). You know what to do. Bring your Leica and X-Pan. And We'll supply the light. Bring some of the Lomography films. I love light like a drunk likes his MD20/20.

[@parkermillican]

are you able to mess with the geometry of two of the images to line them up better with the center image?

[@Obama___]

[@thomaswynne9970]

[@jankorueckert]

Hejo Jason, what do you think about the roomer Aerochrome is coming back into production in 2024? As well... nice video mate. I love to watch them!

[@VariTimo]

Couldn’t a VFX artist like you fix the parallax a little more?

[@Yolligraphone]

So is this how you shot "aerochrome" in your last road trip video? The one where you took three photos of the same subject at the same time with three film stocks and two cameras? Just curious!!!

[@Christotheb]

There must be a way to 3D print a camera based on the old technicolor concept where the light path is split into 3 after the lens. The additional benefit for this would be the potential to use different stocks for the different filters to account for the different filter factors, and the ability to switch focal lengths and not have to worry about aligned focus. The downside would be the unwieldy tetris like behemoth, but oh well. Guess I'll stick with digital IR for now

[@hagentrondheim3675]

IR has a slightly different focus point as visual light...

[@Christotheb]

@@hagentrondheim3675 all wavelengths do in fairness.

[@parranoic]

You can buy a 10$ point and shoot and a 15$ 590nm filter and get this look really easy.
