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 ❤
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.
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!
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.
"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.
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
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.
@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
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.
Hey, I have a question about these awesome parallax effect images at the end of your videos. What kind of sorcery is this? Do you use a specific AE plugin?
I liked the shots. An interesting palette. And yes, the Fuji blimp is cool. But on to important things. Baxter is okay, right? I mean he's not sick or anything, right?
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
Hey Jason! I've had a roll of this sitting in my fridge for several years. It says it expired in 2017/19 (smudged date, hard to tell). I know you usually generally want to overexpose expired film, but slide film is so picky. How should I expose this film?? Should I just shoot it at box speed and hope for the best? Thanks
Baxter needs to stop letting his cameraman/editor appear so much in his videos.
Baxter's appearences:
- NONE 00:14
Our hearts are break...
See ya next time.
Thanks a lot bitch
Easiest unsubscribe I've ever done.
Just Unwatched the whole video
@@hi_c.v7289 be careful
This is some of your best work to date. Your composition is great.
I love how the only print available is the toilet one, the best one of course

Solid as always! Also I am in favor of bringing the Fuji Blimp back.
The entire set of images here are insaneo style. Love how the blues balance the golden light, and that sharpness 👌

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

hey! do you recommend shooting at 100 or 200? package says 100 if developed in E-6. 🤔
i knew there'd be another grainydays episode today i could feel it in my balls
mine tooooo
They were tingling all day
@@Chris_vK thats too far weirdchamp
feel you
it feels good...
That effect at the end was so dope
such beautiful photos. 😍 i've been trying to get the 35mm version for 2 years. now i want crossbird even more!
7:00 ah yes. Technically part of Jason's signature "Toilet Photography"
Love Leo Carrillo 👌🏽
Leo Carillo loves you
These are some of your best photos
Hey, glad to see you got around to doing this one! Sorry for getting your hopes up. I still have to shoot my second roll some time..
No Baxter = no like. JKjkjk this video was killer as always Jason! Beautiful images!

i love the shots from this film and what you did in the processing
That roll of Rollei Variochrome in my fridge is probably the rarest thing I own
Oh thank you god for another grainydays video
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
You’re a credit to your craft dude! Really love watching your videos.
Dry humor is the best humor. Thank you.
I just found some rolls in the older packaging. It was called Rollei Chrome CR 200.
Also I gotta say, I love your remarks with the sort of monotone voice!
I’m glad you finally tried it.
yo that ending animation, I see you 👀 so sick!
I find your videos way more interesting than Verbeeck's, you still the LA grainy hotshot 😍
I’ve never been more interested in the chemical science behind developing film than right now, thank you
I’m a simple man; Jason posts, I click.
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.
It’s always nice to watch a grainydays vid
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

Bro I was just there on Tuesday! Went to El Matador then Nicholas beach. Love the sunsets there
6:11 the guy in the water being sus lol
The Fuji Blimp is an essential to the grainydays brand
11:18 reminds me very much of edward hopper
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.
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.
Yes he's back!
Like every other video, I now want to buy a medium format camera. Plus that film

yesss I've been waiting for this. Thanks homie
Edit: 6:10 croc shot
me: YEAH, new Grainydays video
also me at 0:14: Let's get the fuck out of here
Cool vid

The Makina is back :D
I slammed my iPad 38 times when Jason said no Baxter, you owe me a new iPad Jason I don’t make the rules
As Confucius said “When a wise man points at the moon, Jason shoots the finger” 😆
Mumford and Son's x grainydays coming soon? 👀
Looks like Ektachrome shot through a really yellowed Pentax 67's 105mm radioactive lens
"Everything good in life is a double stroke."
Enough said.......
Yo, it's always nice to see your videos.
That hector guy has some great photos on his Instagram 👌
11:19 has someone shot ektarchrome with a warming filter? If so, were the results similar to this?
Dis the Groove
Chris is totally secretly Jack Antonoff! I'd put my money on it!
It’s kinda cool that we can see your ankles in almost every video.
So glad Logic made to the thumbnail
Hey Jason! I've had a roll of this sitting in my fridge for several years. It says it expired in 2017/19 (smudged date, hard to tell). I know you usually generally want to overexpose expired film, but slide film is so picky. How should I expose this film?? Should I just shoot it at box speed and hope for the best? Thanks
yeah ok so when are you going to reinvent the K14 process
also thanks for mentioning banjos
Seems like a cool film stock
Didn’t even miss Baxter “the magical potato unicorn”.
I used Provia expired in 2007 once and it had really similar results
Anyone notice Jason's watch @ 2:53 ? His watch is just like his cameras: vintage, analog, and beautiful.
messes up metering...exposes film at box speed for first time ever...lol Enjoyed the vid as always!
Finally, I have been waiting for this for a long time...
Does anyone know what he meant when he said, "It feels like we're going through a thing with Fuji now-a-days."?
They are in the habit of discontinuing much loved film stocks. If they ever kill Superia, life will lose all meaning to me.
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
So next video Is kodachrome in color GrainydaysXKelly Shane fuller?
Hard to find? Like here in Serbia its cheap af, Rollie Crossbird is like 8$ a roll and its always in stock
DQ shot at 9:53 is insane.
How I wish to have purchased more of Variochrome 😞
new grainydays video? say less
11:40 how’d you do that 3D effect???
@okami too much work for 2 seconds of footage
My Rollei Crossbird done in E6 looked nothing like Variochrome tbh.
It's pronounced "Roll-eye" or "Roll-i" btw. Awesome video as always!
6:22 I like this!!!!
Well, at 0:15 I knew this video was over.
I LOVE THE FUJI BLIMP, also, great pics 👌
i jumped when he swung the camera.
don’t scare me like that man.
shouts out to eBay, savior of all things cheap and weird for photography
Major wristwatch flexing 3:00
This video made me want to shoot again. It's been a few weeks. Great content as always.
Rollei suggests shooting at iso 100 if you want that orange look.
More videos plss. I am in lockdown and only you videos can cure my boredom :D
Killing it
The dude sitting on the cliff with crocs on looks like Diplo.
🔥🔥🔥
Pshh... Rollei crossbird more like my wife left me please jason you’re my only comfort in life
same
Still can't believe you wore your shirt inside out that whole time. 😂
Bring back the blimp!
this video made me buy guava la Croix and I can confirm its good at filling the void created when baxter isn't in the video
01:06 c'mon man that's Luke Skywalker 😂😂
How does he do the outros, where he makes the pictures seem like 3D?
Is Baxter OK?
