Lomochrome Metropolis

[@Stop4MotionMakr]

"Its cheaper than therapy" is the golden quote of this vid.

[@Chairman7w]

I'm gonna disagree, and instead go with "Surprise Sausage Steve".

[@thedondeluxe6941]

I like this film because it reflects the grainy, desaturated nature of my soul. Also, my soul is best rated at ISO 160. Like most Lomochrome films.

[@Donara8706]

I totally agree with this comment

[@davidbelgrave1971]

I hate for the same reasons. It's nasty and green as my bile, and I usually push my bile two stops. Each to their own I guess.

[@Justinyoon12345]

[@linusziegler7086]

The colors of this film give me weird “how to get a cinematic look in Lightroom cs4” vibes :/

[@CarlBergsdorf]

Then we have gone some weird full circle?

[@northof-62]

Great to see you young people getting into film like I did in the late 60s. The experience was very much a trip for me, so I hope you get that feeling too. Cheers!

“Crushing soviet look”

[@vikmanphotography7984]

"dystopia" would have been a way better name

[@monsieurgolem3392]

Just what Im looking for.

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

Metropolis is already a very interesting film. I'll be happy to shoot it sometime. I also want the Fuji 1600 Natura back. !

[@theundefinedphotographer]

"Living in the Matrix", "cold, crushing, Soviet look". Jason providing some visual and verbal poetry for the end of the world. tbh, Metropolis never really appealed to me, but after understanding the kind of look it's going for, I think I'm starting to warm up to it. Got some brutalist buildings around there that might look good on it

[@justinkingery2489]

". . . Metropolis actually delivers a cold, crushing, Soviet kind of look." Perfect description. I need to pick up a few rolls. Some beautiful shots here, Jason. Thanks for the review.

"Surprise sausage Steve" quote of the century

[@2mfnokin]

This fulfills my dank meme quota and my dead inside quota and my photography video quota i am ded inside

[@Nieuwhollands]

Love the look. I'm thinking I'd probably use it as if it was a black and white film and be pleasantly surprised by the colour accents in the images. Can't wait to get my hands on some.

[@topherick]

These are the first shots I’ve seen with this film that actually look remotely decent. Still not a fan of how washed out the colors are, but I’m sure there exists a situation where the film might shine. Appreciate the work you do!

[@Mrcloudpotato]

I really love how you added field recorded to this video. Feels immersive AF!

[@josephstitt137]

It’s really cool seeing you shoot the same locations I’ve shot before. Gives me new perspective on some of my favorite photography spots.

[@d3vartz]

Your work and photos should live forever! Luv from Poland!

[@alexandermeisel4585]

Quarantine with Grainydays videos is better than no quarantine without grainydays.

[@mikejankowski6321]

What a great video! While I already like your style, it was particularly suited to this film. Your description and commentary went along with the flavor of the images. Soviet style. I usually go for saturated colors where I can (or B&W), but I am excited about this emulsion. It is different, and that is attractive. And if you are going to shoot film, grain is yet another tool to exploit, which you did to great effect. Gotta shoot some. Been to Union Station many times, but not to the surrounding area you covered. Ideas and inspiration for the future. Thanks for the video, great work!

[@MWSJoey]

Really dug up the photo at 9:35, I actually enjoy what the grain does in that photo. Ironically it's just after you're talking about how fine (large) the grain is at 400. Really wanna pick some of this film up now actually, too bad shooting right now is a bit rough around the edges. Maybe things will start looking better in a few weeks.

[@pipinfresh]

Natura 1600 needs to happen. I hate that there are no high ISO colour films anymore.

[@JuliusFalk]

Love it, Jason is the kind of man who schleps around a heavy winder just to advance manually. I can relate, I have the same camera and its looks and feels too sweet with that winder

[@DSUNMoneyALLGONE]

I should be studying, yet I’m literally watching every video in your channel. Great job Jason!

[@jrscheepers845]

Same Here David, same here

[@metalfingersfilm]

bro, i've seen this film shot a bunch and idk i just cant really get behind the colors! :/

[@plowthor]

You actually take good photographs unlike many photography you tubers.

[@franklynLP]

Cool, now if i need a new film that looks like a heavy expired one i can buy that from lomography.

[@TimFitzwater]

Solarfuchs that was kind of my thought - I don’t mind the expired film look - but not sure I want to over pay for it.

[@franklynLP]

@@TimFitzwater It retails at 12.90€ a roll, thats 3€ more than a roll of Portra 400. Its nice that they try to bring new things to the market but at that price i can get much more interesting stuff.

[@TimFitzwater]

@@franklynLP Agreed.

[@BriteFrog]

I'm betting the colors would be more vibrant with 30 year old C41

Hey now, 110 film is fun. Lots of really great cameras that suit that format.

I'm happy that lomography is still creating films and I was excited for this film... Sadly not so much after seeing reviews of it.

I've tried not to use up all 10 Kickstarter rolls over the miserable UK winter just past - it's Definitely a cloudy winter's day film, you get a whisper of a hint of what it can conjure up in your indoor shots - It doesn't quite complement gorgeous SoCal sun lol. Oh and it works surprisingly well w direct-flash portraiture in weak ambient light (think pre-dusk, in between freezing rain showers lol).

[@andreasschroder7880]

Yeah man! Three hours ago I ordered five rolls of that stuff in 135 for a project about Corona in my hometown. Perfect timing!

Sounds like a perfect combination

Interested in seeing the final product.

[@andreasschroder7880]

Gerardo Cueto I will post some of the pictures on my Instagram pendaimonionpictures. But since DHL got pretty slow around here, the lab will need two to three weeks because of Corona and I will need some time to actually shoot the project I guess it will be in June at best.

Will do you do video about your loves of the M42 lens ?

[@swibb5790]

Dear Jason, would you recommend a Viogtländer Vito? As a beginner film photographer, I want to get one of those (as a more sophisticated point-and-shoot (if you can even call them a point and shoot)) since they look awesome, are surprisingly cheap (~50-100$) & I was told Voigtländer Cameras were something more advanced, let's say, back in the days. But there are like 100 different models, so I thought I'd ask you for advice - maybe you own(ed) a Vito, or know someone who does. Or can you recommend other, similar Cameras? Thank you =)

[@AlexSinclair]

I dislike the look of this film, but it's hard to argue that you did a good job with its limitations, and that this video explored a lot of different shooting scenarios. Like if you're trying to figure out if this film is for you or not, then I think people found their answer here.

Man I always wondered what it would take to bring back a pre-existing emulsion like Natura 1600. In my head it's just skipping the R&D bs and just hitting up the machines again :D Worst part about Fuji is they would have the money thanks to all the digital fanboys buying their stuff so it must be a lack of heart unfortunately. I'd want a comeback for Venus 800 as well.

[@TimFitzwater]

I thought the “chrome” name almost always went with E6 slide film? Kinda a weird choice. The look is a lot like much of the expired C41 film I’ve shot - not bad but not sure if I want to pay a premium for it. I guess the main advantage would be consistency? Interesting none-the-less. I really liked your images.
