No expiry date in Jason‘s videos. Always fresh.

[@hlsmurderer6531]

Dude, the shot at 3:14 is the most paintingest photo I have ever seen. Wicked stuff!

[@gatsbye53]

Hey man, saw you on NBC. Boy was that a surprise! They must have cut all of your Aerocrhome demands to Kodak for time. Keep chugging those Flamin Hot Mountain Dews!

[@pedrobortoli6852]

And just like that, Daddy Jason blessed our thursday with a retrochrome video

[@Leicam10]

The amount of wasted time in this channel if you think about time spent by Jason taking the photos, filming, editing, someone processing and scanning the photos and all people watching it. Mind blowing.

[@mikejankowski6321]

YAY!

[@Leggeaux]

My dude would load film on the surface of the sun if he could

[@denniscastro2055]

I think that first photo looks straight up like a painting. Very dope. I will see you one day.

[@davidgodfrey1815]

Love the voice and attitude on life. You could do a video about watching paint dry and I would watch.

[@angelah6357]

Omg you were just on Lester Holts show!!!! You are a rock star!!

[@vincent4696]

I shot exclusively motion picture film from Whatevergraphy when I was in Taipei recently. They hand roll and develop film at their studio. Best part, Kodak 500T, 250D and 50D are all about 6 USD per roll.

[@formosan]

Nice! I'll have to save my rolls to process there. Can you recommend other film photography shops in Taiwan?

[@loudiddly]

That bottle of Mountain Dew just looming in the back honestly filled me with an unpleasant amount of anxiety

[@HudBud4444]

Tbh I am so happy that you got to mess with a similar stock in medium! I jive with the tones that you got with the E-6 processing regardless, but C-41 is good too. Also the grain on these reminded me of wallpaper for some reason and might look sick if printed on sticker paper and applied to a wall.

[@sheelios]

"1 dollar short of a very nice joke" is genius.

[@Jakejackson1980]

Nothing in life is better than seeing that Jason Kummfieldt has uploaded. Keep up the banger videos man

[@Kevins_Camera]

Hell yes bro you saved my ass on this long drive! I really hope you will come out with your own film roll within the next 5 years!

[@Igniam]

e6 wins for me that StarWars desert colour scheme just hits the right cord with me, or i'm just a sucker for shallow colour, grain and that smoke!

[@pault5795]

These colours really remind me of Maria Lax's Some Kind of Heavenly Fire. you may come back to them and enjoy them later, once you are in your Piscasso blue period.

[@Al_Bx]

It looks cool. I like it. E6 and C-41.

[@lukasvanderlende]

time for the best 10 minutes of my every other thursday

[@pntnsht2795]

Silent flex with the Cine Zeiss in the back

[@jonathanbull296]

The expectation was off BUT the images still look like paintings honestly! They look awesome👏

[@nello1591]

Thank heavens this video showed up to break up the monotonous nature of my daily gutter installation grind. God bless.

[@andyfraser6953]

I like them man, that low contrast goes a long way towards that painting aesthetic

[@jahosaphat]

The cost processed shots looked goodly.

[@MickBenjamins]

This look is awesome

[@bengiu]

i didn't expect my thursday to be blessed by daddy jason

[@LaskyLabs]

Well, it's a shame I've only got two rolls of Retrochrome... But in good news! I found a three pack of old Fujicolor 200 for a reasonable price today! I think this was just after they stopped using a fourth color layer but before it was discontinued and then returned as Fuji "Gold" 200. I'm excited to shoot some on some green days, and since it expires 09-2024, I've got plenty of time. Look at that! I made it through this whole comment without mentioning my excitement for Fugugfilm 400 once!

[@MatthewTovar0]

hey! they look cool. well some of them and a few of those few are real cool. in all seriousness, i think some of shots are really interesting and fit the desolate landscape perfectly.

[@nickystewart]

I really like these shots. I think the cross-processed ones look the best!

[@tombuster]

kodak's got to brink aerohrome back, Jason's bout to get a heart attack

[@manuelrodriguez7200]

Hate the film, love Jason. Still always happy to see a video from you.

[@bratspinat]

i like the cross processed pics!

[@yohann2768]

I think it looks really cool ! Some tones seems to blend together like in a painting. I would have loved to see what it has to show on darker, more contrasty setups. In the woods or by a lake. Hard to find in California between the droughts and the fires.

[@jaimewarner]

Don’t you mean Redtrachrome?!! #1:11minsIn

[@Coqrogue]

I feel like the post rock community for a new source for album cover art.

[@johnkaplun9619]

No more doin the dew, no more aerochrome.

[@renzocicillini420]

Love the retro tones, will buy some

[@daegar2]

I always buy whatevergrafy imax project kv3 500t for my pentax 67.. always very good and very special/cinematographic results. Eterna 35mm is also very good

[@tshaowmasy]

let's goo new grainydays

[@camerakungfu]

Comin' straight off the NBC high!

[@DunkelRuhrOutdoors]

This video is smooth as a snail...😌👌

[@danfarmer_photo]

Well, I liked the results. Also, I am a new subscriber... Instant like bro! Finally a photographer without the KZbin fake bullshit. Keep at it man.

[@sethobates]

Intriguing! Would love to see how you catalog and store your negs and digital work some time. Especially as your output rate is probably a lot higher than many of us… or is it all just thrown into a room of chaos?

[@MeowjinBoo]

thank god i have 20 rolls of it still. I dont wanna say which shop has it now cause its gonna jack the prices up haha.

[@jordanscoots]

Every so often I see a new video from Jason on the feed and for a brief, grainy moment, I forget the sharp, eternal pain of existing

[@labradorhund7769]

I don't know ... I don't know what you love so much about retro chrome in the first place to be honest. But I hope there's some more coming your way.

[@isaacsherbino]

Love this! I am curious to know how you color graded the look in your video? I would love to recreate it.

[@ryankiesel7275]

yo Jason, when we gonna see that nikonf2 with leica glass??? very interested!!

[@stevefoote715]

Hey, for that last roll, try processing it black and white??? Works for Kodachrome, which I still have and get good results from. Worth some processing acrobatics for a roll thats worse than Baxters’ lawn ornaments…skol

[@nonessentialanalog]

Started hoarding retrochrome earlier this year. I have a safe stock. Too bad it'll be gone forever

[@francescomusso9465]

hes back

[@HntrSvrsn]

Yo new grainydays

[@Strawbsmedia]

Babe wake up grainydays posted

[@dontshootphotos3372]

Is that a Zeiss Zoom Cine Lens in the back that I see 👀

[@themad4dog986]

BROOO minute 7:03!!! It's the Kill Bill church yooooo!!!

[@OrangeBrick8]

Bro what’s up with the Cine lens in the background?!

[@67davejb]

personally I like the colours. Do you think dropping the ISO would have had an effect to the colours?

[@glassglowz]

How do you do that "zoom in" effect on your photo at the end of the video??

[@milandinh4543]

Heya! I love the way all the scenes in the desert look. Could I please ask if this was done using a filter or in post or how did you achieve this soft glow effect?

[@northwest_rain]

I would take an educated guess and say that he uses a Tiffen Black Pro Mist diffusion filter. With the intensity of the diffusion I'd guess a level of 1/2 or even 1.

[@boronizer848]

Maybe I should start with downing Flamin Hot MD on daily basis to get videos every two days 🤔I really wait for their arrival like my insecure inner photographer is craving for every like in Insta.

[@MetallicOatmeal]

"Can we fix that ATTITUDE in post?"

[@alifhisham5991]

this is not a film related but could you share your colour grading process for your videos? I’m into video but have a biggg love for your colour.

[@charm2501]

YES

[@walkermason143]

It’s the church from Kill Bill! 7:05

[@rendragydna]

my local store has a few 35mm i might have to scoop up the rest

[@rendragydna]

they dont do e6 prosessing but it looks really neat crossed prossesd in c41 u might want to give that a shot

[@lucindaguarderas6050]

And just like that retrochrome sold out everywhere lol

[@Atsah]

Have to say the 2 rolls of 35mm I managed to shoot a while ago are by far the most beautiful photos I’ve ever shot, I’m not sure anything comes close to punchy, sharp slides with a colour shift 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@elijahbrune]

Is that the guy from NBC news?

[@bngr_bngr]

I have several rolls of Ektachrome from 10-15 years ago. Do people really pay that much for expired film?

[@DavidSattler]

This being motion picture film, wouldn't you also need some sort of print film / print film emulation to get the final image?

[@8bit239]

which analog medium format camera would you recommend to a beginner. i find analog photography interesting. but i don't want to invest a lot of money yet.

[@photographer7]

Judging by previous videos, I'd say you found your "look" with this film. It may not come with a free bowl of soup, but it looks good on you, though.

[@spectrazone]

LET'S GOOOOOOOO

[@shadyman7821]

Damn, don't make it hot bro! This is my secret stash!

[@Lomogeek]

I'm bummed it wasn't the same as the OG Retrochrome but some of the shots came out ok. I'm also saddened that all all sites that carried Retrochrome are out of stock, guess I'll be hoarding my last few rolls.

[@karwaing844]

I'd love to have a Digi Prime as a paperweight...

[@sharp_swf]

4:3 ratio chad with based color grading

[@bordersofelmet]

I liked the pictures; they remind me of watercolours.

[@RM.TokyoPhotographer]

We need Kodak Aerochrome, #Fujifilm Pro400H or Superia 400 medium Format im patiently waiting for #Fujifilmjapan to make a Superia 400 for medium format...

[@alexandredevenderets6531]

Sir, are you selling the remaining rolls? Thank you. Interested

[@19sixx14]

how do you always manage to load in sunlight?

[@MichaWha]

Shot that last year and didn't like it... but of course I had it developed in E6... C-41 looks kinda good.

[@evansmyth4193]

New video. And I didn’t commit any violent crimes to get it. Bonus.

[@Shaka1277]

Harman used that same tagline - Harman Retrochrome confirmed?

[@czelendzerii3985]

Yes

[@vibhavcar]

which camera did you use to shoot this video

[@Fotospectra24]

I knew I’ve seen you on Grindr.

[@Shohaiko]

What the hell is that Supreme Prime doing on your desk?

[@eliteprofashion]

Woo

[@stephenbatman8115]

Great images. Only disappointed that you neglected the Mountain Dew challenge.

[@geuros]

E-6 processed looked very flat, very post-apocalyptic (kinda fits what you shoot), but I didn't enjoy that. Those cross-processed look much better and I kinda enjoyed them.

[@TheDomis4]

oh no, i missed that its gone out of stock and i've only one roll left :(

[@Lord._.Farquaad]

Nice

[@AeromaticXD]

The colours do look nice, even if it’s not Retrochrome

[@coleshepard1440]

this is my coping mechanism to stress

[@BarrettBaker_photos]

Hey’ I’m 35th!! YES!!!!!

[@gigamedia1786]

Yo what backpack is that?

[@dcallan812]

NIce 👍👍

[@TannerShootsFilm]

No Mtn Dew?!

[@777syth]

You'll Look back at these shots after Kodak resurrects arrochrome and maybe hate them less.

[@tribesesh]

"Can we fix that attitude in post?"

[@latenightlogic]

Grindr?
