[@ericklemus3853]

Don’t...don’t give us hope

[@seabass_ian]

Do it. Please.

[@Gdogg88]

Yoooooo!

[@Condog]

Bring it back or I’ll pee on your car (not really but intimidation helps, right?)

I was an archaeologist in the 1990s, we used this in aerial photos to spot where colonial building foundations were buried, and Native American campsites. They slightly affect the hydration of the grass growing above, and it’s very visible in the photos.

[@TrenchForgeArmory]

Are these images published somewhere? I would absolutely love to see them!!!!! People talk about areal archeology as a novel technique - using machine learning and satellite data to find exactly what you were looking for - but it seems like people have been doing that for a while!!! SO SO SO COOL! Anyway, if you know how I might begin finding them, that would be so awesome!

[@joeltunnah]

@@TrenchForgeArmory yeah there is nothing new about that technique except the satellite part of it I guess. I don’t know if the work was ever published for the public, but they are stored for the states regulatory purposes, and with the firms that did the work.

[@lordbogus1985]

Asome!

[@cdegenova1761]

That’s really cool! Now I guess we use LIDAR? Also what system did you use to keep track of where the frame was taken exactly? Just write down the frame number and the associated coordinates?

[@joeltunnah]

@cdegenova1761 there were always landmarks, farm buildings, roads, treelines, etc. We were in populated areas.

[@vuhlandes]

I was JUSt saying how much I wanted to try this. after seeing this I definitely want to try it even more.

[@jarvostudios]

Please bruh

[@dawsonthecreative]

Dude same here, all my feed was aerochrome suggestions

[@hotdogavenger7144]

Bro same

[@FramesPerSecond]

How much is a roll of 120 worth to you?

[@leolensen4456]

aerochrome is lovely! you should definitely try some

[@tplyons5459]

If I can bring you to tears, in 1966-67 I was an Air Force photographer in Viet Nam and reprocessed miles and miles of 9.5 inch by 100 foot rolls of Kodak Infra red Aero Ektachrome producing individual images 9.5x20 inches. A 20 inch long slide is wild enough but in IR? Eat your heart out! :-)

[@jamesprivet]

Great story, thanks! What cameras were used to produce slides 9.5x20 inches long?

[@itscameronwalls]

“Anyways that’s it. Drug trip over.” *plant in the back shifts back to normal* Genius.

[@UltraClue]

Thanks for mentioning, I totally didn't notice.

[@Jägranhier]

HOLLY SHT!

[@panelsandbars]

Praying to the film gods that Kodak brings this back one day. I’ve always wanted to shoot with it.

[@Derginator]

“We have also got. Couple of new additions to our portfolio we’re looking at. I can’t tell you what they are because I don’t want to get people too excited in terms of announcing something and then not being able to deliver. But one of them would be something relaunched some that we had previously, and perhaps a new product that would also come to market...” ~Kodak Alaris’s EMEA regional business unit Manager Andy Church 1/1/2021 So there’s a chance, they already kinda have films for a lot of other common purposes so they may branch out. I think it’d be a good move for them to have a more wild stock like aerochrome.

[@panelsandbars]

@@Derginator I saw that but didn’t wanna get my hopes up! 😄

[@Derginator]

@@panelsandbars I’m not getting my hopes up either cause they promised a Super 8 camera a few years ago

[@constantinflux]

Totally getting my hopes up.

[@counterfit5]

@@Derginator guess I’m lucky I got one for $4 at a yard sale

[@PiratePhD]

The reason the barrier turned yellow is, aerochrome has three emulsions. One green sensitive emulsion that is then dyed blue, one red sensitive that is dyed green and one IR dyed red. Since the red bin reflects red and IR it looks green + red = yellow after development. Also the reason you need a (according to the datasheet) yellow filter, is that all three layers are blue sensitive and a yellow filter gets rid of blue light but lets through the rest of the spectrum.

[@jankubat2694]

I see you flexing the PRO400H in the fridge

[@oyteye]

The price of aerochrome 10 minutes ago: “yeah it’s pretty expensive but it is discontinued so...” The price of aerochrome 5 minutes ago because grainydays uploaded about it: “he’s just Kendal Jenner’d the sht out of it”

[@jackexplores4529]

Nah nah that shit been mad expensive since like March when aerochrome.shop ran out of their stock

[@zart3374]

Laughs in 2022 prices.

[@imabigsandwich1292]

That subtle hue shift to red with the plants in the background is a very nice touch, amazing video as usual Jason.

[@da009999]

Kodak Aerochrome: See The World through the eyes of Dr. Seuss.

[@TheBigpimpballer]

FYI if I recall correctly, this was an aerial observation film for reconnaissance planes in WW2. Helped scout out emplacements with camo that would stand out against the red

[@mikewileczek5143]

For anyone interested in the aerchome look I had one of my old camera bodies converted to a full spectrum infrared camera then purchased a kolari vision ir chrome filter. I mainly use vintage adapted lenses so the look is close to authentic as can be.

[@MaxRobertsdoesthings]

Yes! I love aerochrome and infrared. So happy you mentioned Richard Mosse. My professor in college was his colorist for "Enclave" and his more recent project, "Incoming" which if you ever have the chance to see I highly recommend it. It's shot entirely on a military thermal camera.

[@Martin-nu6ym]

The Kolari IR Chrome filter on a IR converted full spectrum camera is one of the ways to get the Aerochrome "look." I just use my 590nm converted camera and adjust in post - sometimes will use the RNI Aerochrome presets to assist with color options. The RNI presets does make it possible to just use on non-IR images.

[@UNSCPILOT]

When I get a mirrorless eventually, deffinitly getting it full spectrum modified just so I have a totally different reason to use it compared to my Rebel T6 or Rebel Ti

[@grainandpixels7454]

All these images looked amazing !!!! And the fact that Kodak themselves commented is crazy!

[@corbymo]

I still have two 120 rolls of fresh aerochrome in the fridge bought 2 years ago, but it feels more like having two gold bars than film rolls

[@areallyrealisticguyd4333]

35mm rolls are already rare enough but 120 rolls?? I'm jealous

[@ruffprophetproductions]

I’ll trade you for some 400h😂😂😂

[@wikikobo964]

Please world, let me watch this one video before the snowstorm kills my internet

[@espeeme8902]

God I wishes Kodak still makes this film. It’s so otherworldly.

[@callawaybros]

The red snake plant is a nice touch!

[@Antoshka1tony]

The change of color of the plant (in the right corner), and last animation...well done

[@sirohartmann]

Glad to see 35mm got some more love. Lately I've got the feeling it's worthless and I had to buy a medium format camera but this showed me that my Canon AE-1 can still be a nice camera.

[@tish644]

Ive got the same feeling but I recently got some scans back and they proved why I shoot my canon a1

[@FranciscoRamirezAraya]

35 is nice, the issue is scanning it right it's a bit harder. That's at least why I kind of love my MF a little bit more

[@lou.4554]

Appreciate the infrared plant in the background!

[@Eltargrimm]

Your enthusiasm is contagious man!

[@MercUndGut]

I'm working in remote sensing and we're using infrared cameras to automatically separate vegetation from other things (via NDVI, "Normalized Difference Vegetation Index"). Seeing this was nice, now I'M interested in the film myself :D

[@TommyGrisselFilms]

I hope you have a great day, Baxter (Tell Baxter I said that)

[@BadFlashes]

BOO @ 5:43 .... that's some jam in the middle of a PB&J sammy... when you bite in and get that strawberry goodness....

[@XxDunctheManxX]

Those abandoned houses were such a rad spot to shoot at!

[@connorgeorge4114]

3:20 looks like it’s from the game No Man’s Sky, cheers for the memory lane Jason!

[@PaulWon]

life is great when grainydays and bad flashes upload at the same time

[@tomdivasion7724]

Nice to see Jason appearing in a cameo role on this Baxter video

[@thescotlandeffect3454]

On watching this episode again I just so wish film companies brought out random film types just to mix things up from time to time. Oh and best episode ever 😊

[@harrisonkauder2576]

Dude this film has such a weird futuristic vibe to it! They need to bring it back!

[@TheIronSnail]

Yooo the vibes on this video are nuts

[@judemarino8914]

Great way to start my morning, daddy grain drops a video

[@runninblue9415]

Strangely beautiful.

[@DLivingston]

Here I thought I would not be watching a new video on this film. Then, this pops up, a week before I plan on shooting my roll. So cool!

[@JustinRobles13]

The red snake plant is a nice touch

[@digitalportraitist]

Vericolor 5072 is an absolute dream to shoot with I shot a roll back in the 80s when I worked in a government photo lab, great stuff.

[@braystaylor]

I saw The Enclave at the National Gallery here in Melbourne a few years ago and it was incredible! The soundscape they used with all of the stills and video was mental. Killer video mate.

[@amarameerholz3196]

I just happened upon this while high- this is amazing and we need more of this guy.

[@jackcurran5377]

Gorgeous shots. Hope Kodak brings this film back.

[@matemeszaros1446]

You r my favorite film photo channel. Great content in all aspect. Best wishes from Budapest, Hungary

[@yahyaharyantoo]

always loved your opening and ending sequence

[@theundefinedphotographer]

What a way to enhance reality. Maya Beano has some really dreamy work with aerochrome too. I took a break from shooting super 8 to save money, but now I might have to pivot my expenses elsewhere...

[@her.Hikari]

This video is just so damn enticing-- the reds, the humor, the Kodak comment. Everything. 🤌

[@Otokichi786]

I remember it as Kodak Infrared Aero Ektachrome, Process E4, ASA 100? I remember seeing it used for a lot of LP album covers in the 1960's, when Process E4 was still available at the "corner drug store." I recall that a color photo of a well-camouflaged sniper would really stand out from "the natural world," but I've never seen THAT image. I shot a roll of IAE with a Yellow filter and marveled at the red foliage and the black of objects painted green. Then I went back to Ektachrome and Kodachrome, since Reality is mind expanding.;)

[@radicaleyemag]

“Infra” was the project that inspired me to get into film. Love this film so much! 😭

[@mikejankowski6321]

Great video, awesome photos! Love that farmhouse.

[@quintaviusoliver8149]

Used a couple of rolls of this stuff back in 2018 and fell in love. Glad to see your incredible photos with the good stuff.

[@parz173]

Honestly there probably bringing back kodachrome. I ain't complaining as much as I want this film

[@HRIZNDOC]

I wouldn’t mind you doing a film loading asmr in the dark video to Lofi Hip Hop

[@Danilixo10]

The attic darkroom did a trichrome photography using ifrared film, they actually did get similar results, but there's a lot of difficulty getting red to come through an infrared film and they had to overstep something like 5 stops to make it work.

[@ElishaDavid]

I've been waiting my whole life for this video.

[@johndavidlevy7]

My favorite beach. 20 minutes from my spot. Shot a lot of my favorite photos there. Love these shots! Got to try some of this!

[@tenarituatagaloa9704]

so much inspiration, so little hope of fruition

[@faz-io]

saw The Enclave at the NGV Melbourne - six double-sided screens in an otherwise pitch black room with a Ben Frost soundtrack. nuts.

[@BrilliantBenGaming]

I really like the appeal of happy accidents that seems inherent when shooting film. Grainydays inspires me even with the excessive self-deprecating humor.

[@ВиталийБаранов-р8ъ]

Kolari Vision developed an infrared filter, that faithfully reproduces Aerochrome when used with full-spectrum digital camera. They have comparison on their website.

[@mikejankowski6321]

Thanks for the info. I bookmarked their website and will check it out.

[@UNSCPILOT]

Planning to buy one once I send my M200 in for full-spectrum conversion (with life-pixel because they're way closer), alongside A pile of other filters, will be interesting to test in astrophotography too since that's how I got obsessed with photography in the first place

[@saramshshrestha7641]

amazing those photos looking really amazing 😍.

[@lisaw150]

Magical film, and such a good video on it! There's a Bob Dylan portrait shot on Aerochrome by Elliott Landy. Best Aerochrome shot I've ever seen!

[@moritz.braeuer.leisureaccount]

I see Kodak Aerochrome - I like.

[@davvydavy]

A small idea to help with inspiration for the next roll -- clear glass reflects infrared light like a mirror

[@michabutkiewicz702]

Here I was lying on my bed fighting post mountain trip depression. Right on time man!

[@parranoic]

Just stunning, great job dude

[@sebm2334]

My days do i love your videos

[@hyperclearphoto6573]

Why am I only now finding your channel? I really like your style! Keep up the great work.

[@hanjeolee8032]

nice color changing plant u got there

[@aribetterlari]

Jason you magnificent film beast

[@steinsvideos3997]

I enjoyed that. Photography, irony and swearing in video. Sounds like chrismas to me.

[@johnkaiser2698]

Really cool film I didn't even know existed. Also I really like that you shared other artists in this video! Always like seeing your work, amazing channel. Never stop posting ✋!

[@philsmith7724]

The lens flair at 6:11 is fabulous...

[@anthonigrande]

i literally wanna hug you. also missed the infrared edit on the snake plant last clip sorry love you.

[@JTobiason]

Dang. I really want to try this. Sigh... Love the one of the boat man.

[@MaxKnechten]

This film is amazing.. Looks so awesome. Would love to get a new version of this :D

[@mattparkin7224]

You have no idea how fast I clicked this video. Aerochrome inspired me to pick up photography - I took up digital infrared for a while before moving over to film in the hope that one day I might be experienced enough to shoot a roll of aerochrome. I've since realised I might not be worthy until it's too late... (You might recognise my profile picture from a collection you mentioned in this video!)

[@ChrisVidouras]

Clicked for the film, stayed for the "Aerochromed" sansevieria at the back.

[@ki001]

You sick Dread 😄 Keep up the good work, love your channel... Aerochrome rocks.

[@chronicfish]

Although not an infrared film, with the mind blowing colors of Aerochrome, LomoChrome Purple is a good alternative.

[@ElishaDavid]

I'm wondering if that's what he's hinting at around 11:28. Curious what filter might help LomoChrome Purple produce something more like Aerochrome. Edit: After reading a blog post with someone who threw a bunch of different filters on LCP, it seems like an 85b bumps it up to a similar Aerochrome look. Not nearly as punchy and vibrant, but definitely gives a nice desaturated Aerochrome look rather than a washed out purple.

[@chronicfish]

@@ElishaDavid Interesting! Thanks for the info 🙂

[@hoxfrey9093]

The first shots are so good I had to like it. Good job!

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Awesome video my dude! That Bonsai tree looked killer

[@jeffjarboe3634]

I’ve mostly used C41 process with EIR/Aerochrome, I bought some 120 from Guy in Holland, that he had cut from original nine inch roll, So yes large format is possible

[@C.Abbenfield]

Wow dude! I love all the shots in the Video! I really feel like this is your absolute A game up tp this point in rrgards of composition and framing. Extremely pleasing to look at pictures. The aerochrome look is like the cherry on top.

[@nicklessrt]

Huh. Being red-green color blind, I didn't initially notice the green foliage turning to red. Some shots were super apparent, like at 1:40, but others I probably wouldn't have been able to tell unless somebody pointed it out. Like at 5:43, that doesn't look too off. I mean, it's a funky looking film stock, but I wouldn't have guessed what it was doing to the greens.

[@bamoida110]

I´m in Love with your Channel and super thankful for your content, you are such a HUGE Inspiration, thank you ! Ps: You are WAY to underrated, i really hope that you´ll grow but i guess Quality is better than Quantity, your Community is lovely. keep it up Jason.

[@KevinBjorke]

You might dig the Trichromie-Trichromy flickr group. Sheez, seeing the 6x9 I'm now convinced I was standing right next to you guys at the Petaluma train station, and just didn't know who you were. Now it will haunt my dreams.

[@schonja4927]

I have only read the first 200 pages of the Kodak fan fiction and I have to say the character development is on point..

[@gavinfulton1361]

One of my absolute favorite film stocks. I'll probably never get to shoot it unless Kodak brings it back, but emulating it in the digital space is good enough for me right now. I'm curious if anyone has figured out a filter/processing combo with Ektachrome to make it similar...

[@quest6097]

There is this thing called IR Chrome lens filter for digital cameras. If i understand the article right, it basically does the same thing as Aerochrome. Try google "aerochrome filter", the first link will be that article on PetaPixel

[@JoeLopez]

This is awesome! Great images and the commentary is outstanding as usual.

[@miguela.migallon5055]

Wow... I hope kodak make this film again someday!!!

i woke up from my covid depression sleep just in time

[@spyratekodaks7494]

Lomography might be able to make some aerochrome!! They like experimental stuff done on film, so they could!!

[@dhruvemital]

It feels a lot like using a 550-590nm filter on a full spectrum camera, which makes sense because of the IR applications!

[@FramesPerSecond]

Love aerochrome! I did a video on it two years ago comparing it with Lomo purple too!

[@MyNameIs_Dragon]

I knew the moment i heard you had a few rolls of this, the vid was gonna be fire.
