I am always looking for new ways to create art. This is very interesting and I will definitely try this.

[@filmismorefun]

It does give a very distinct look along with a bit of randomness. I hope your images turn out interesting!

[@chartar5197]

I’m sooo exited to do this, I have a project I’m using photography for and I’m trying to get really experimental thank you for this video!

[@filmismorefun]

Good luck on your project!

[@chartar5197]

@ thank you!!

[@phatcrayonz]

I had no idea. This is so informative. I saw a photo on Instagram that was hash tagged filmsoup --I had no idea what that was so I can here to look. Thanks for this video.

[@filmismorefun]

I'm glad it was helpful 🙂

[@legylith]

Cool video, I like that we see a bit more than just your hands. And you ranting a bit more freely about what you're doing ! Amazing results !

[@filmismorefun]

Thanks Jules! I'm trying to incorporate more into the videos, but not lose the "getting quickly to the point" aspect of the content.

[@_joka9]

thats some next level stuff !! i bet having a roll full of multiexposures will get an even more trippy result! haha

[@filmismorefun]

_joka your right! Multiple exposures absolutely add to the effect and can create some really killer images. 😁

[@dangerpowers123]

Oh I'm trying this!! Thank you

[@filmismorefun]

Film Camera Reviews Glad it was helpful! Looking forward to the results.

[@musicfan6575]

Trippy results!!

[@Kuresque]

This is awesome, I'm going to try it out

[@filmismorefun]

You'll come away with some crazy results 🙂

[@jessepond2062]

Perfect simple video, loved it.

[@filmismorefun]

Thanks Jesse!

[@Roadheadsmedia]

Thanks for posting! Looking forward to souping some very old soda that I just snagged on eBay. Should be interesting.

[@filmismorefun]

Hmm. I've never done that! If you don't mind, let me know how it works out.

[@Roadheadsmedia]

@@filmismorefun will do! In your experience, is it fully necessary to let the film dry after rinsing the soup off? Why not just jump right into the c41 processing?

[@filmismorefun]

@@Roadheadsmedia You don't need to dry it out- I just jump right into processing after washing. Although, I know some people prefer to soup the roll before they shoot it, which is where the drying part comes in. I'd rather not shove a souped roll in my camera though, me personally!

[@annadenaro9919]

cool video, I am going to try this with one of my rolls.

[@filmismorefun]

Awesome! I bet you'll love the result 🙂

[@annadenaro9919]

@@filmismorefun unfortunately there was nothing on my film, I did vinegar and dishwashing liquid, and then developed as normal, and the roll was blank????? odd

[@filmismorefun]

Weird. How long did you soup the roll for? There was not even weird colors on the blank roll?

[@annadenaro9919]

@@filmismorefun 24hours, I let it dry for a couple of days.

[@annadenaro9919]

@@filmismorefun its the camera i forgot i tested a new old camera with that roll, ameras light seals have failed completely

[@acidsnow5915]

really need to try this one day! thanks for sharing this with us really enjoyed learning from you! thanks for shairng

[@filmismorefun]

Hey I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for the kind words!

[@caroldavis5921]

Great video, can't wait to try film soup. If you were sending the roll out to a lab, how long would you let it dry before sending?

[@filmismorefun]

It can take up to 4 weeks for a soaked canister to dry. I hope yours turn out awesome!

[@Strigoaicx]

I loved it!

[@filmismorefun]

Awesome! Thanks for letting me know :)

[@joanmichel]

Great results

[@filmismorefun]

Thanks Joan! 🙂

[@theanaloguecorner1119]

Super video! I'm gonna try some of this soups in the future! :)

[@filmismorefun]

Thanks! Yeah you definitely should. Crazy results :)

[@allysseriordan1073]

I enjoyed your video. I really need to try souping film one day. Have you tried with black and white or just with colour film?

[@filmismorefun]

Hi there! No I haven't personally, but I've seen where others have tried it, and it can yield some interesting results. For me, what I like most about souping is the crazy color shifts. 🙂

[@marxbrahms2b]

Hey I love your videos! Once I've put my film in the washing machine before loading it and it was a pain in the butt but the result is interesting. Next time, I'll go to swim in the sea with my film and I will also try your technique !!

[@filmismorefun]

Hi Claire! I bet that roll in the washer did look pretty cool after the laundry detergent hit it. 🙂 Also, I love the idea of swimming with a roll in the ocean. If you end up posting images from a sea-souped roll, I'd definitely love to check them out!

[@marxbrahms2b]

@@filmismorefun Hey there, I finished and developed my sea photos, I wonder how I can show you ? Some results are super dooope By the way, I clearly exagerate on the time, i let the film for 5 days in the sea water hihi.

[@filmismorefun]

@@marxbrahms2b Hey Claire! Yeah, definitely I'd love to check them out! If you want, hit me up through Instagram @filmismorefun 🙂

[@rodrigodecuir]

have you noticed any difference between doing the filmsoup before and doing it after shooting the roll?

[@filmismorefun]

I haven't souped before shooting so I can't compare, sorry. I always drop an exposed roll in the soup. I've seen pretty dramatic results from others who have done it both ways though.

[@MehriJamshidi]

you went like this: 1: shoot the film 2: soap the film 3: developed it with soaking in soap am i right? could you please let me know how you kerp the tempeeture on 38.5 for developing color film at home; i have no equipment for the fixing the tempreture. what should i do?

[@filmismorefun]

1. Shoot the film 2. Soak the film 3. Rinse the film 4. Develop the film To keep a consistent temperature, you could use a water bath (a large pot or container filled with heated water). The develop tank sits in the pot of water as needed to keep the develop chemicals inside the tank at the correct temp range while developing. If you need a tutorial for home developing color film using this technique I have a video that might be helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6vCY36KdryGmKs

[@MehriJamshidi]

thank you so much for your help. hope I can do it properly.

[@filmismorefun]

@@MehriJamshidi you're welcome. 🙂

[@alaryani100]

Thanks to God for Digital

[@filmismorefun]

😂

[@WietsedeJong]

May be a tip: you could soup your film after you spooled it in the developing tank. In think it would bee more "consistent' over the whole role..

[@filmismorefun]

Hey that's a great idea, I'll definitely try that next time. Thanks! 🙂

[@WietsedeJong]

@@filmismorefun hmm now i am thinking about it may be its to consisted i doubt if you would get the cool patina's. May be sipping trough is one of the tricks... Maybe cut down on the souping time helps. Never the less just found your channel and subscribed last week. Nice to see this content..! I am not much of a collour shooting guy but this inspires me.

[@filmismorefun]

Hey I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I think you're right, there would probably be probably less globs and orbs if it wasn't souped in the roll, but it's the crazy color shirts that I'm after most, so still worth a try!

[@tuttoshithole]

That's a cool idea. Also, this would means that quimics could be used again in "non-soup" films, right? There would not be damage on the quimics?

[@tuttoshithole]

@@filmismorefun By the way, probably the 10000th person to ask you this tho, where did you get that home developing kit? I need one! also, how is this called, "home developing kit"? English is my second language. Cheers!

[@trimatije]

so you didn't boil it? im planing to soup bw film so i think i'll need more damage to make it visible

[@filmismorefun]

Yeah, for black and white rolls you may need to let it sit in the chemicals longer or use boiling water. Or maybe both! 🙂

[@trimatije]

​@@filmismorefun Thanks for the answer! I've put first film in shaker last night (have two more waiting) so hopefully I'll see from there xD

[@Iyadtchel]

what does the sock do?

[@filmismorefun]

@@Iyadtchel add flavor

[@annadenaro9919]

is the second flower shot a double exposure?

[@filmismorefun]

Yup, the second flower shot was a multiple exposure. That image was one of my favorites!

[@filmlovephotography]

How many days of use, has to be for the dirty sock, and what is the best sock size? 😂😂 You can put the film in the soup already in the tank. Nice video. 👍 big hug

[@filmismorefun]

Thanks Pedro! I prefer a separate container for the soup rather than in the develop tank. It was mentioned by someone (I'm not sure if 100% correct) that it is more effective if the film remains inside the canister. The sock must be worn for a week at least, for full effectiveness. 😂

[@sennosc]

How long it needs to be in rice to dry it?

[@filmismorefun]

I would let it dry for about a week before developing.

[@sennosc]

@@filmismorefun thank you!

[@GioMilko]

nice soup yo

[@filmismorefun]

Thanks. It was tasty.

[@СФЕРА-н2ч]

hi, I did the same, but my film stuck together. What to do? Please help me.

[@filmismorefun]

Hi. Did you rinse the roll yet?

[@_2socks]

What happens if you soup it after it’s been developed?

[@filmismorefun]

Hi Ryan. I'm not sure. I've never tried souping developed negatives, but I would imagine that there would be less of a reaction if any at all, because the emulsion is fixed during development. If you do give it a try, I'd love to hear your results!

[@SweetLouPhotography]

dude i've had my film in soup for like 3 months now lol, probably should have shot the photos first (yikes)

[@filmismorefun]

You're saying it's been sitting in the soup for 3 months? Wowza. Depending on the acidity of the soup I'm not sure you'll have an emulsion on there to shoot lol.
