Hi. 😊Um, if I try to do the double exposure, will it forever mess up my film count? Or will it return to normal again?

[@_MicahMullins]

Sofie Fatale it returns don’t worry

[@sofiefatale2915]

SUPER8 thanks a lot sir 😊 I am new to this (was a DSLR hobbyist) but I thought analogue is fun to try

[@_MicahMullins]

Sofie Fatale keep shooting! More videos about analogue photography really soon! Sub

[@sofiefatale2915]

SUPER8 Done 😉 Unfortunately my page doesn't have any video at all to show back to you :(

[@astralgoddess6558]

Until u use up all of ur film then when u get more it will go back to normal

[@Vanucoo]

Thank you, you get to the point and that what I'm looking for, i got sick of watching those girls reviewing mini 8 and talk about their trips to Disneyland.

Those are really cool photos

[@xenchi0303]

Very nice! Thanx~

[@31uur]

You took some really cool pictures!

[@_MicahMullins]

thank you so much!

[@hayaszn]

Hi I have a question. Do you have any tips on how to make the lightning "good" cuz whenever I set it to the light it recommends for me, the pictures turn out different each time.

[@hazellynuts95]

I have a question, do you ever cover your flash to prevent photos to come out pretty dark? Does it work ?

[@sabrinasockmonkey8260]

Instant cameras are good for any photography

[@lilliangarrett9166]

you probably explained this, but when you were taking the double exposure pictures and the regular pictures, was the setting still on inside mode? great video by the way! good job (:

[@Wendy-ex6pi]

Nice

[@kingklout5418]

Dope you gained a sub

[@yourlocalghostboy312]

Thank you so much

[@abisaivalenzuela5268]

good video! i try your double exp technique and it works awesome!

[@_MicahMullins]

Abisai Valenzuela I knew it would ( ; thanks for the feedback!

[@jowanaiggo2186]

How did you do it? I mean what's the best filter that we can use or just stick to the suggestion filter?

[@abisaivalenzuela5268]

Jowan Aiggo Do it the same way as he do. Just be careful with the excess of light when you open the the door of the camera

[@princewithnothrone]

hey! I tried doing the "double exposure" on my mini 9, but it doesn't work :/ , I wasted two films for that hack, but does it really work in any instax? like mini 9? just asking :)

[@marinagalindos8585]

Hi! I have an instax mini 25 and when I shoot the second image (following your technique) the machine does not take the picture.. :/ I dont know if I just dont tilt the cartuche quickly enough. Have you heard/experienced about smth similar with the camera you are using?

[@whatnecolesaid]

immmmmm.... wow thanks for this video!!!!!!

[@_MicahMullins]

Kneecole thanks! More like this to come! Very soon!

[@nandaelfirasoraya7990]

What the setting you use for the full color result ?

[@elisabethzl]

Hi, loved the video! Do you just scan the photos on a regular scanner or it needs an specific proffesional one?

[@alexislopez7104]

You didn't explain which lighting settings you used /: I try taking pictures outside and they are such fails cause I can't get the lighting right

[@alexcorralgarcia]

It’s pretty self explanatory

[@liz-op4iv]

Can you use the method that you did for the double exposure, with an instax wide 300 ?

[@brianlu1700]

does the double exposure work on the instax mini 9?

[@joanna_karyotakh7373]

What setting did you use?? Your pictures was cool af🦋

[@Ashley__Rose]

Stupid question but does this translate to the mini 9 as well?

[@ChenlesToes]

Hi, don't know if you have a video about this or not but how did you scan your photos?

[@lucy9500]

Do you need to take a photo of your main subject first ? I took a photo but the second one I took was what I wanted the main subject to be and it came out overlayed .

[@HellguzHellishwinters]

The shiny stains on the sides of the double exposures are due to to the fact you are pushing the cartridge with your fingers. Doing so, mixes the chemicals inside in abnormal way. (As far as I know)

[@andjelkabanicevic2444]

does the double exposures works on insta mini 9?

[@rafiqshamir7966]

what did you record this video with??

[@vergiliaarguillo7306]

Cool video. Direct to the point. Hahahaha. I hope it will become successful to try the double exposure. Huhu lol

[@niania7486]

Hi... will that trick work with instax mini 70? Thankyou in advance

[@tanisha2659]

I actually just tried the double exposure and I realized that the middle of my photo was very white compared to the edges? I don't understand how that could happen?

[@undergroundlady5892]

So fcken neat! Thanks. For the double exposure after I open the back...I gently press on the cartridge so the top part is semi out and hold it by the bottom doesnt fall and wait a few seconds and clip it back in? And take a photo of a diff subject...

[@_MicahMullins]

yes exactly. You are waiting for the motor to stop when you wait that couple secs

[@schmooncakes]

Really like the shots you took in this video, you should definitely link your Instagram in the description

[@MrToriii]

what do you use to scan your pictures ?

[@Emma-rc6ze]

This is awesome! I'm excited to try the double exposure! When you run out of the cartridge and put a new film cartridge in will the counter work again or is it forever locked at 10?

[@_MicahMullins]

it will reset every time you put a new cartridge in.

[@Emma-rc6ze]

Thanks!

[@DemiAdinda]

Thank youuuuuuuu

[@samantaalvarez595]

Can I take pics at night ? Not objects but panoram?

[@regirgst]

Does the double exposure technique works with instax mini 7s too or does it only works for instax mini 8?

[@_MicahMullins]

Regi Ragusti it should work with all minis

[@marakleindalit3202]

I like your double exposure video technique and would love to try it. just a few questions will it tarnish the camera by doing it? If in case it was exposed to the light and got a white outcome will I get the same result when I try to do it again using the same cartridge?

[@_MicahMullins]

maraklein dalit It should work completely fine. won’t break your camera but you might ruin some film. something to know about film is that you can’t let it get exposed to light.light can only go through the lens to the film. so be very careful not to let any light hit the film when you have the back of the camera open.

[@marakleindalit3202]

SUPER8 ok noted on that. thanks. will it work to all the instax mini? because what I have is the hello kitty instax

[@laurasparkles1135]

Hey, interesting video! Thank you for teaching :) I have a question, do you know if it is possible to darken the Polaroid pictures after they were taken? I took some photos on the beach in Thailand but the sun was waaaayy to bright even on the lightest setting, so the photos are just white. Maybe you can help me :) Thank you!

[@_MicahMullins]

Unfortunately that's not the way film works... sadly there is nothing you can do

[@laurasparkles1135]

thats sad :/ but thank you for your answer :)

[@bmack1199]

Will this work for mini 70?

[@melmurp]

what to know how to take a photo without black photo

[@nikaornik9196]

Hey 👋...so when you do the double exposure photo it uses only one film right? bdw this video is awesome and so helpful👌thank you

[@_MicahMullins]

yes and thanks so much!

[@noodlesmccheesecakes7733]

Does it work on a mini 9?

[@dootdoot5124]

This is probably a really stupid question but does this work with the instax mini 9?

[@SAYURRO]

I think It does cause mini 8 and mini 9 are basically the same thing except for the selfie mirror

[@heynaomi5616]

Is it work on mini 9?

[@mylifeonabike107]

Nice video, nice tips!! But I tried exactly as showed the double exposure thing with my mini 70 and it didn't work, do you have any idea why? Or how another way of doing it? =]

[@_MicahMullins]

what was the final result? all white pic?

[@hih5226]

No se descompone? Contesta por favor

[@bryanotero123]

You might want to put oil in the motor, i think it got dry and need lubrication.

[@snow7022]

I love it, but does this trick break the camera?

[@FranziskaDeubel]

Snowflake mo i'm wodering too 😱

[@julsoon08]

how do i avoid the film being completely exposed the moment i reopen the back?

[@priscillam9928]

juls o if you hold the film to where it doesn't come out (and gets exposed) i think that should help. Just make sure you tilt it back a little

[@sorayapineda9761]

Do you think this would work with my Polaroid 300?

[@_MicahMullins]

NOPE.

[@timlee8667]

plz respond if ur still doing youtube plz! i have an instax wide300 and when i try to use the technique, when i open the back lid the camera would not take the shot and think that it’s a new cartilage and slide out the dark slide. is it because i’m doing it wrong or is it just impossible with the wide 300

[@_MicahMullins]

Tim Lee I thought it had a double exposure setting but I guess I was wrong. But I think it should all work the same way I have never personally used the wide. Very sorry.

[@timlee8667]

thanks for the reply :D I'll try to use this technique when I buy normal instax :)

[@14ktGoldSLuMWizard]

would this also work on a wide instaxl? i own the wide 300

[@_MicahMullins]

Im sure it would a$ long a$ you keep the film from coming out so if you can lean the cartridge back slightly It should work. But if your question is "will it work with that film for that camera?" the answer would be a simple yes.

[@14ktGoldSLuMWizard]

MRMICAHSOFT(Micah Mullins) thanks man! Nice photos btw

[@_MicahMullins]

14ktGoldSLuMWizard let me know how it works out!

[@timlee8667]

i tried it with the instax wide 300 but the cam would always think that the slide is a dark slide

[@klasnostradamus2832]

how do you not ruin your film by opening it because i thought that when you open it they all get messed up

[@heidicruz5562]

is there a time limit for double exposure? like before the film develops right?

[@_MicahMullins]

Heidi Cruz as far as I know, no...

[@_MicahMullins]

shouldn't be as long as its not exposed to any light

[@victoriasouls9364]

What camera are you using to film this video?

[@_MicahMullins]

Victoria Souls canon 70d but the boarders are just editing.

[@victoriasouls9364]

MRMICAHSOFT(Micah Mullins) oh thanks

[@lov3sickjay]

So how many films were you able to use after you did the double exposures?

[@_MicahMullins]

If you do it right you should be able to use all 10 shots in the cartridge. Thanks for asking!

[@lov3sickjay]

Omg thank you, im getting mine on wednesday and i really wanna try doing double exposures haha ☺️

[@_MicahMullins]

LJ Pacheco definitely give it a try and let me know how it goes!

[@mf6598]

how did you make the plastic cover stay in so it didnt expose prematurely?

[@_MicahMullins]

mollie fabry- I'm not sure I understand the question???

[@ハム太郎]

That ginger guy is so cute

[@thevibestation5174]

The pictures look more vintage if you’re wearing colorful clothing

[@yo5ir194]

The photos look kinda blurry

[@Not_Hawk]

Btw the light leak is because u dropped the film cartridge and some light messed it up :) if you left it out longer then it would have been completely destroyed. But it wasn't 😊

[@_MicahMullins]

HAWKLEDOODLEDOO !! Yeah! I eventually figured that out ahahah

[@Lisabethg]

I tried the double exposure but my pics became all white?? I have the same camera and did it like that too..

[@_MicahMullins]

you have to be careful to not let the film every see light

[@mindanuraminda]

booties and cream samee

[@sophiaakentt]

The reason for the light at either sides is because when you open up the door you're exposing the film to the light so it messes it up a bit

[@_MicahMullins]

This light leaks were actually from when I dropped the cartridge lol

[@sophiaakentt]

@@_MicahMullins omg wow its been 2 years

[@DoriiCeja9]

The cartridge has to be brand new to be able to do the double exposure right? Or else the film will become exposed? Another question: by opening and tilting the film, it will stop for the black plastic cover of the film to come out?

[@_MicahMullins]

It doesn’t need to be a new cartridge.

[@AuraSimmer]

I think the fact that i opened the back of my camera it made my film go bad......can that happen?

[@_MicahMullins]

Stormer 19 it's very unlikely, only the very top picture would be ruined and that shouldn't even happen if you did my double exposure method.

[@AuraSimmer]

SUPER8 Okay....I had a sudden realization to see if my film was expired and it was. But thanks

[@littyk4946]

With the double exposure thing does it affect the thing that tells you how many films you have permanent

[@_MicahMullins]

nope resets every time
