Watching this video as I’m developing film for the first time. This was a huge help, thank you!
I've watched like 8hrs worth of "develop color film at home" videos over the last week.
This is hands down the best one here.
Covers in 17minutes what takes most folk to handle in 30-90.
Which is great for us busy, ADHD folks.
srad is to-the-point with tips & doesn't at all ramble on.
Which is super refreshing.
Seriously can't like this video enough.
Glad I could help!
Well, the problem with your observation is that she makes mistakes by both misstatement and by omission Any poor sucker who tries to learn to any quality color processing by watching only this video is never going to make it. Her over extended opening discussion of the use of stabilizer is just wrong. Her discussion of agitation is pointless and unhelpful. She obviously had problems mixing the dry chemicals into solution, but rather than use this as a learning experience for others, she just edits around most of it to look better. The technical processing info she provides is just reading the Cinestill instruction papers. Overlay her simpering style of deliver and little smirks and wicks at the camera, and you end up wondering why you waster 17 minutes of your life watching this mess.
You are so "real" and "matter of fact". You put people at ease. I want to just listen to you tell me about your trip... anything! Good job.
Great video - I’ve been developing black and white for a while now and finally decided to take the plunge into color. (Just got CineStill’s liquid Cs41 kit). My Paterson tank is leaky, so I also prefer the swizzle stick over inverting. Thanks for posting!
Glad I'm not the only one who deals with the leaky tank issues 😂
I like you! Funny and genuine. You answered several questions I had the other videos didn’t mention or explain
Great video. I just started developing (only b&w so far) at home this year and this makes me want to try color. A tip I learned is that when you finish your roll of 35mm film you rewind it until you hear the lead slip off the take up reel. It sounds hard but you can hear a ka chunk. This leaves a couple of inches of film sticking out of the canister. It's the part you first roll on before you get to "1". This allows you to just slip it onto the reel without having to open the canister. Good luck.
Before you put everything into the dark bag/ closet, if you retrieve the film leader out (through the slit) and pre-load it onto the spool a bit, past the ball bearing part, it'll be much easier to get it onto the spools. You don't have to use a can opener and your fingers will be safe :)
yo that's genius!
Yes but you are more likely to have a scratch on your negative. The film canisters only meant to go one way
@@chriscuthbert5225 of all my years of developing film and bulk loading film, I've never had a canister scratch my negatives.
@@chriscuthbert5225 Not sure that's true, I got a development lab to show me how they do it the other week and they use this method because they need to feed the film into an industrial machine which is designed to pull it from the canister.
I literally had no idea this much work went into this. This is so cool mom!
Thanks bb 💓
I just found your channel looking for some reviews of this developing kit I got for Christmas and I love 💗 your videos and vibe
Legitimately the best video in the CineStill C41 Kit! You should really put that in the title of the video so people will find it when they look for tutorials on the Kit.
Good idea, thanks!
It’s much easier to start winding the film leader onto the developing reel *before* you put it in the changing bag or darkroom. I never open the film roll. When I get to the end of the roll, I use scissors I placed in the bag to cut it off.
I agree, the only issue is a lot of people rewind their film all the way so they have to open them. At that point, if you try to get some of the film out you risk light leaks-but it can be done if done properly
@@apostalote nope, all you need in that case is a “film leader retriever”. I got one made by Matin, on Amzn for $14. Works perfectly.
@@joeltunnah Okay that’s awesome to know I’m gonna order one right now
I love your videos. I am an analog photographer and find very interesting things here! Keep on this nice job!
This video was great, love your chilled out/quirky presenting style. I'm definitely building confidence to give this a try, I only recently did black and white for the first time but I'll get there. :-)
Jsyk, the agitator isnt necessary nor us the bottle opener. Just always leave a tongue of film sticking out of your roll, then wind it on from there and clip off the end with scissors. Inversion is better than agitation, so just do four inversions every 30 seconds tapping the tank to release bubbles every now and then.
Great video and very informative. Thank you for sharing.
I use the same tank and the Cinestill Liquid chemicals. I used the powder for a long time but actually think the liquid produces better quality. I've been developing my film for years. I think people think it's much more difficult than it really is. Anyway, nice video!
Interesting! Have you tried cinestill's powder version? It only came out a few months ago I believe
@@srad. I actually don't think I have used cinestill powder. I used unicolor powder many many times though. Then, if i remember correctly, I went to order it one day and it was sold out. So i ordered the liquid and liked it much more. Might have to give the cinestill a try though...
@@fomhI would give it a try, they made the powder version so it would be cheaper to ship. I don't notice a difference between the two, but my attention to detail for these things isn't the best 😂
@@srad. neither is mine lol i don't aim for perfection. i prefer dusty imperfect film. i'll try it. thank you!
Hi! Hope you don't mind me asking how you scan your negatives? Which scanner do you use and could you give me some guidance for scanning on a budget :) thank you! great video it was really helpful and has pushed me to try and develop myself
U can try a Epson Flatbedscanner. They cost around 200$ and deliver good results altough the look of the film is unpredictable. Alternativly you could buy a special lightpanel (wich arent cheap) and scan with your digital camera. After that you must convert it to a positve in an editing software. This method is a lot faster and the quality is good.
7:50 lol is so real, a youtuber struggle
Are you noticing that developing chemicals and kits seem to be currently sold out everywhere online? I can’t find any anywhere. I’m a little bummed too I wanted to get into film developing but no one has these kits all of a sudden. Know anywhere that might?
Unfortunately no, I have a kit backordered from b&h that will hopefully be here the end of the month. Guess they're in high demand with most of the labs closed
srad Thanks for the reply! Yeah that’s about what I figured. I’m just gonna wait at this point and see what starts coming back in stock over time
Nice one, helpful video. Delivered well too :)
Thanks a lot for putting this together! Tip: If you can, use a Jobo tank instead of a Patterson tank because they don't leak liquid.
Never heard of that actually, will check it out. Thanks!!
I'd love to see your scanned negative photos you did...Thanks
Lol "do you mind?" Bump for doggo
Awesome video! Will be developing my own film soon! Liked and Subbed, and GOOD PUPP
what about iso? is determining film ISO irrelevant for developing color film?
The iso doesn't matter when developing color film :)
Thanks for posting this video. I'm going to jump in! B&W is super easy and this looks like one extra step up front...temp control. Question. What video camera were you using for this video. The quality is great!
Canon eos 80d! Good luck:)
What stabilizer did you use?
Great video
Very good job on the video. I see one issue you don't have any protective gloves on your hands or your feet when you're pouring the chemicals in your tub.
Yea, like I said in the video I forgot I ran out and need to get some more :)
Jasmine said "this is my video now"
Cool. I did this for the first time two weeks ago, set a timer on the developer for 2 minutes 47, I look at my phone after the first minute and realised I had set 2 hours. It worked out fine somehow.
Haha that'll definitely make the heart stop for a second! Glad it turned out well.
@@srad. They seemed to come out okay, they're not all scanned yet. the most recent post @eardefendersguy on Instagram is the first 6. It's a garbo camera but they turned out okay.
@@Dan-ms4oq they look pretty good. To push film you leave it in developer longer so I imagine they should just look a bit overexposed
great video, just one quick question. After the rinse with the Stabilizer should I give it a last rinse with wetting agent? I'm noticing my films turns out kinda cloudy. I'm using the Cinestill CS41 liquid kit BTW!
Hey! You should be fine doing the wetting agent if you wish. However sometimes the cloudiness is caused by an issue with the Blix, like cross contamination, too much agitation, its too diluted, etc. So if you use the wetting agent and that doesn't help I would recommend using less agitation or mixing a new kit together. Hope this helps!
Where can i buy the stabilizer? I cannot for the life of me find it. :/
Omar Garcia try going to b&h or use photoflo, it works similar although supposedly it doesn’t last as long
Sorry for the late reply but it comes with the c41 kit I get!
thanks for making this process less stressful. i am about to do my first batch of C41 after doing some B+W. one thing i can't quite figure out is how long will the chems last if i keep them in the dark and cool. i might only do like 4 rolls a month. when you say you got 30 out of that batch, how many times did you develop and then store and then develop again? over what amount of time too.
thanks so much for a great channel, its very inspiring.
I had them stored for a couple months, I really cant remember exactly but I probably did about a roll a week? It all depends so take that with a grain of salt haha
@@srad. thanks, and i won't quote you on it :)
@@allmediaguy1 The developer only delivers its best results within a six weeks timespan. For personal use you can store it longer but increase the developing time because the developer looses its potency.
@@miracleyacht__1538 thank you for the additional information. looking forward to my first go at it
Thanks for the Video. How long do the chemicals (Powder / mixed solution) last after being prepared for the first time? How many weeks until it gets bad? How much of the powder would one need for 500ml?
The longetivity depends on how its stored. I usually get a few months out of mine, I keep it in a dark, cold closet
GooooooooooD Job
Do you add time as you reuse the chemicals?
Yep, once I hit about 12 rolls I usually increase time by 30 seconds or a minute
You are so fantastic!!!!!!!!
Hi, which part of chemical needs to be recycle?
The developer and Blix. The stabilizer can go down the drain :)
@@srad. Thank you so much! I always forget...
You are so calming to listen to and sweet. Job well done!
How do you scan your negatives: )
I use an epson v370 scanner and usually the program that comes with it or the negative lab pro plugin for lightroom !
@@srad. Thanks :)

Stabilizer and a wetting agent like Photoflo are not the same, and one does not replace the other. Use a stabilizer; mix in a few drops of Photoflo. Do not use a bath of Photoflo after the stabilizer, as it washes out the stabilizer chemical. Paterson tanks are crap; buy the AP brand or the same thing as several different store brands (ex., B&H; Freestyle). Paterson tanks leak and break.
Can you use a red lightbulb while your reeling your film in the dark
Nope, has to be completely dark
The red lightbulb only works with a special kind of black and white film. This type of film is called "ortho chromaitc" check it out because its very intersting.
0:31 ok
did u do it
Sub'd Mob!
Girls that develop film are cool.
