Baxter needs to stop letting his cameraman/editor appear so much in his videos.

[@DogsandFilm]

Baxter's appearences: - NONE 00:14 Our hearts are break... See ya next time.

I love how the only print available is the toilet one, the best one of course

[@briansavage932]

This is some of your best work to date. Your composition is great.

[@eliteprofashion]

I love the part where it looks like you are taking a picture of the girl and then the camera pans to the umbrella

[@cggg490]

Umbrella perv.

Solid as always! Also I am in favor of bringing the Fuji Blimp back.

[@KelseySmithPhotography]

No Baxter = no like. JKjkjk this video was killer as always Jason! Beautiful images!

[@kudobass9090]

I’ve just finished watching every single one of these here grainy days. Even that hour long Iceland one, with too many waterfalls. And the ‘interviews’. (Meaningful look to camera.) In some alternate universe, there’s a whole channel with Ten Questions victims. When you find that particular wormhole, pull me in. So anyway, thank you Jason. I need to go sell my furniture. Film will never die. It’ll just keep eating people’s souls, and living in the shadows. As I now will, also. Peace. I love you.

[@owenrodgers8020]

i love the shots from this film and what you did in the processing

[@ReimannPembroke]

I think is safe to say that Rollei Crossbird is the most badass name for a film stock out there. It also conjures images of someone crossing their arms and flipping me off with both hands. Crossing the bird, if you will. The shots look sick!

[@TheMoneymoneymoney13]

Hands down my dude you're my favorite photographer! For the past few months ive fallen out of love with photography 😔 major self doubt and imposter syndrome but your videos have really helped me to pick up the camera again. Thank you Grainydays if I ever get half as good as you, I'll be one content human ❤

[@davidwoods80]

"Super orange-yellow crunchy dried cat-piss vibe". You've the literary skills of Joyce, Hemingway, and Shakespeare. Just kidding. But you're definitely a master of snark, something I highly value. And that transition to the Squarespace plug? WhooEee. Must have taken hours to think that up.

[@EnvyDesignGroup]

You’re a credit to your craft dude! Really love watching your videos.

[@martinhendry]

The entire set of images here are insaneo style. Love how the blues balance the golden light, and that sharpness 👌

[@GlennnnnS]

That roll of Rollei Variochrome in my fridge is probably the rarest thing I own

That effect at the end was so dope

[@tim31415]

I have been using Crossbird for many years and still have a stash in the freezer. As you point out, this is a E-6 film, not C-41. When it first came out, it was marketed as an E-6 film and was not called Crossbird. I looked for any old canisters of it to get the specifics of the original packaging, but could not find any. My suspicion is that sales were originally poor, so Rollei rebranded it. Many people are afraid of E-6 as they believe it is "hard to use". Also, cross processing is a real hipster sort of thing. As for the film with the yellow cast you like, it was sold under various names. Lomography repackaged it and it was also sold as ReraChrome. I have a bunch of the ReraChrome as it was one of the few films available in 127. More power to you if you like it. I shoot it with a blue color correcting filter which gets rid of the cap piss vibe.

[@searchingrecords]

hey! do you recommend shooting at 100 or 200? package says 100 if developed in E-6. 🤔

[@ByFrosty]

Dis the Groove

[@NuralIdrisoglu]

Also I gotta say, I love your remarks with the sort of monotone voice!

[@Photo_Cyclist]

Lol'd hard at that guy taking a dump. But then I looked down and I realised _I_ am taking a sh*t too. Damn you

[@SamuelElkinsPhoto]

Love Leo Carrillo 👌🏽

[@ThePhotoDept]

Leo Carillo loves you

[@mattdyer9544]

Was wanting a proper demonstration of crossbird in e6. It's about half the price of any other slide film in the UK. Only problem is it will be even harder to find now

[@runiih]

The Makina is back :D

[@andrewhowarth4578]

@3:49 It's more amazing that any of us film geeks ever managed to get laid, let alone find a girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse. Seriously, loved the shots and your in-video spot for Square Space makes Rudy Giuliani's UFO/MyPillow/MyBlanket/MySlippers spot look like an effort from Four Seasons Landscaping. I shot Agfachrome back in the days when I had hair, and I'm going to look for some at my local thrift shops. I expect it will be five dollars. Andy

[@GreatWaterCircus]

Cool vid I use to shoot Agfa 200 Chrome... it has a very cool look, the colours are mute, more illustrative in look... also Konica 200 E6 centuria was a very cool color rich film... back in the day there were many stocks... all gone now. But Im interested in this Rollei Crossbird as its still available in NZ ...Thanks for the vid

[@NguyenTran-ng7hg]

More videos plss. I am in lockdown and only you videos can cure my boredom :D

[@sandrofrias1635]

This video made me want to shoot again. It's been a few weeks. Great content as always.

[@tim31415]

I just found some rolls in the older packaging. It was called Rollei Chrome CR 200.

[@oscar8010]

The Fuji Blimp is an essential to the grainydays brand

[@jakobmueller2065]

I used Provia expired in 2007 once and it had really similar results

[@AeromaticXD]

Seems like a cool film stock

[@toulcaz31]

As Confucius said “When a wise man points at the moon, Jason shoots the finger” 😆

[@JasperBunschoten]

Rollei also has Chrome CR 200, which I know is old Agfa slide film (Agfa RSX II 200). I wonder if it is the same stock as Crossbird? In any case, nearly all of the current Rollei film stocks are just rebranded Agfa films, whether it is colour or black and white film.

[@anonimo120797]

me: YEAH, new Grainydays video also me at 0:14: Let's get the fuck out of here

[@pavlovcikjan]

Watching this just while waiting for my first Crossbird come back from its E6 bath. Curious to see if it comes looking any similar to yours.

[@LucaLazzari]

Like every other video, I now want to buy a medium format camera. Plus that film

Good video!

[@EuroGunOrg]

Looks like Ektachrome shot through a really yellowed Pentax 67's 105mm radioactive lens

[@KetiX]

This could be expired Fuji Sensia film, which was super popular to cross process. It looks exactly like crossbird in C41 and was also re-branded as Agfa Precisa after Agfa went down.

[@shutterlag192]

messes up metering...exposes film at box speed for first time ever...lol Enjoyed the vid as always!

Jason you sound like you have a cold. Hope you feel better :)

[@kylewood8327]

I thought the look was cool. Only issue now is the E6 processing, like hear in Tx you have no options. Gotta send it to Denver

My Rollei Crossbird done in E6 looked nothing like Variochrome tbh.
