How to pull rewound film out from a 35mm roll FAST!

In this #shorts video, I show how to remove the leader from a roll and get the film back out of the roll.
This is useful if the leader was accidentally rewound back into the roll, if you want to pull the film back out of the canister to shoot the roll again, or you're getting ready to load it onto a developing reel.
It only takes a few seconds, and all you need is another negative (or a new roll of film)
Step by step Directions:
1. Slowly twist the rewound roll near your ear listening for a click
2. As soon as it clicks, stop rolling
3. Take another (flat) negative a few inches long
4. Lick or wet one end of the negative on the emulsion side
5. Insert the wet side down into the canister (about 1"-2")
6. Slowly roll the canister spool CCW until it pulls the negative piece in
7. Keep tension on the spool with your fingers and pinch the negative
8. Release the spool tension as you slowly pull the negative back out
9. Your leader inside the canister should come out with the negative!
Sometimes it takes a few tries, but this method is my go-to and works for me almost 100% of the time.
Things to watch out for:
- If you need to do this for multiple rolls, use a different section for each new roll. (I just cut back the wet slobbered-on part to a dry area and re-wet).

Hi there. I'm Chris. Film is more fun is a place where I share about whatever busted up old camera I'm currently shooting and tinkering with, or my meanderings in film photography. It would be pretty rad if you said what's up. I'm 99% friendly. Definitely do that. Disclaimer: If you want technical proficiency go watch 'The Art of Photography' (love that show). These videos are more like an elderly person navigating a tv clicker.

[@keso_r]

Thanks! Just accidentally rewound my first roll of film ever and thought I missed it up! Tried a couple times with this method and it worked 😁

[@simplyelectronic4840]

You can also use a bottle opener and pop the top or bottom off the film casset and just take the whole role out. I find it easier

[@TheAntonioBrand]

[@omerszybowski9508]

I've tried and succeed, but after I inserted the film back to the camera (its a film I have already shot once) and wind, it was kind of stuck, do you know what can cause it? I rolled it back and took it out, I'm afraid the pictures I already took will get ruin, is that possible? because of the water... thank you!

[@filmismorefun]

Hi there. The water shouldn't affect it much. Sorry, I don't understand what you mean when you say 'rolled them in and took them back out", do you mean you pulled the negatives out of the canister all the way before developing? If so then yes that will have affected the images.

[@user-pn7ev6cv8l]

Thanks int works!!! Дякую

[@filmismorefun]

Great 👍

[@ans6966]

Hello i just want to ask what is the reason why does my film cam would suddenly rewind even if the roll is not yet completed

[@filmismorefun]

What kind of camera are you shooting with?

[@aravindharavindh2202]

I can't get a new film roll

[@filmismorefun]

In my video for 'shooting both sides', I show a way to 'flip over' the film using tape. You don't need a second roll to do this way. Maybe it will help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npmrmGpvg6-FjcU

[@Reefir_]

I did this accidentally. Is it okay to send it to the lab like this? Im new to film as well

[@filmismorefun]

Yeah, it's no problem- they will remove the leader at the lab. 👍

[@hitthestreetsphoto1253]

Wow that was filmed in front of a live TV audience

[@muffledghoul]

thank you so much! you are a life saver

[@youngkikoskicrew2051]

I tried it one hundred times and i failed i guess im doing something wrong

[@filmismorefun]

Hey there. Try the full step by step tutorial that's pinned to the top of the comments. Maybe that can help.

[@josephpinetown8627]

Can the film be damaged when you wet

[@filmismorefun]

I would recommend using an old developed section of negative, or the leader end of a new roll.
