ONE MINUTE FILM LOADING

[@cracyweirdo95]

I took a film photography class a few years ago that had us sit in a pitch black room with a very soft backlight and had us to all these steps plus add in the solution & and count in the dark until the film was ready. Will always be a core memory being in that small room with the smell of the solution and the darkness surrounding me. Fun times.

[@theoldcameraguy]

Sounds like good practice and a fun memory

[@jagman1953]

I’m not coordinated at all in the dark bag so I leave the film in the can until I get it on the reel. If I don’t do it that way I end up with film tied in a knot in the dark. Lol.

[@theoldcameraguy]

Paul Beck Yeah, I think a lot of people do it your way - makes sense.

[@istvann.huszar420]

Finally someone shows this part of the process too! Thank you, sir!

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thank you for watching!

[@RabidNemo]

Great tip on the diagonal cuts! I hadn't thought of doing that before

[@filmismorefun]

Quick and to the point! 🙂

[@theoldcameraguy]

Film is more fun Yeah, trying out this new “shorts” feature - you only get one minute of vertical video

[@filmismorefun]

@@theoldcameraguy is that though IG tv, or here on KZbin?

[@theoldcameraguy]

Film is more fun KZbin - it’s kinda like Stories for those of us with less than 10,000 subs. You record up to one minute of vertical video, then use the hashtag “shorts” in your title and description and YT will put you in their stories and shorts shelf to potentially widen your exposure.

[@filmismorefun]

@@theoldcameraguy Oh gotcha, thanks!

[@anneliesevoelker2502]

I miss photography like this.

[@garrettmain3712]

Arista fat tab reels for the win. They make loading so much easier.

[@theoldcameraguy]

💯

[@alecleo3434]

This is the best explanation i need. Fast, direct, accurate and no bs 😃

[@theoldcameraguy]

👍👍👍

The good old Paterson style daylight developing tank. A great demo for those new to developing film. For some reason that I have forgotten I used to use a hair dryer to warm the reel just to make sure there was no dampness that would bind the film.

[@theoldcameraguy]

This Is Our Retirement Thanks - We don’t have much need for hair dryers anymore...

[@LScott97]

I struggle with taking the film out of the spool after development.

[@chezquake]

You can open the reel, it should just be able to click open

[@andyandyfrogy1113]

Dave, I tend not to destroy the canister because I'm reusing them. But very good short tutorial.

[@theoldcameraguy]

I probably need to start bulk rolling at some point...

[@nicklopro]

Hey I'm developing film soon! I do it all the time, and honestly I already have developed the roll I'm talking about but I am now referring to the roll that will be seen being developed in my upcoming youtube short that I am promoting today. Just posted a teaser today because I am so burned out from posting a film photography short every day that I needed to post a silly teaser where I sing to my dog. Hope you understand. I'm sorry for drawing this out so much and I hope you forgive me.

[@nicklopro]

Hey man! Thanks for the follow on insta! Just popping in here to let you know I finally finished my 3 part youtube short series on developing film at home.

[@star_trashpanda404]

Does loading the film to the wheel needs to be done in the dark also?

[@theoldcameraguy]

Yes

[@noncanon8246]

In my photography class, we gotta learn this, but we’re gonna use a metal reel, cuz my teacher calls the reel that’s used in the short a cheat

[@theoldcameraguy]

I’m perfectly happy with the plastic reels - I’ve never tried steel reels before.

[@onhold8151]

Best thing I ever seen... But this you should do in the dark I presume. ☺️ #imkeentoshootfilmbutimnotthereyet //freddie

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks Freddie - definitely in the dark - I took one for the team and sacrificed this roll so people could see what I was doing haha

[@lovejolene7949]

What qould happen if i am in a complete dark room, but have no reel or tank so i use a normal container and dump the roll in neatly??

[@theoldcameraguy]

You won’t get even development and parts of your film will stick together

[@SneakyCaleb]

Which brand cannister and reel is that!?

[@theoldcameraguy]

Klaymor

[@geoshiesty]

I used to think I was an expert at this in hs photography 😂😂

[@Hanoshi3416]

Hello, Can old films go through this process too?

[@theoldcameraguy]

Yes

[@Hanoshi3416]

@@theoldcameraguy that’s great so, I just take the film to any studio and they will get the negative out even if the film remains closed and unopened for years?!

[@jamychong2876]

How dark?

[@theoldcameraguy]

Completely dark, no light

[@KAMLESHPATEL-mt1ld]
