Brethren, my absolute favorite thing about this community is how when we figure out a new technique or way of doing something we get so hyped we want to share it with everyone else so the whole community can experience it for themselves. I can easily see how an artist could want to keep this for themselves and not share their secrets with others but I am so glad we’ve got such generous people in this community! Hell yes. Can’t wait to try this myself now
I know this is for b&w only, but what would happen if you tried this with a color exposure? 🤔 just a pseudo emulsion lift? or complete and utter destruction? explosions, perhaps? great video as always! love the fun ideas to try!
A video on instax mini 90 please :) I've been looking through videos to buy one but am still confused, your channel is my favorite when it comes to intant cameras!❤ XD
oh yes, it's awesome, I've successfully tried it before, but the difficulty is to peel it off the correct way, otherwise you end up peeling the wrong bit and having to do an emulsion lift instead. It's a very tricky technique. Well done achieving it on the 8 x 10 ! It's beautiful
Have you tried heat development for wild results when shooting? The film develops faster but can have cool effects. If you use the duo chrome green, the speckles become full on cracks. Color film shifts magenta or orange depending on the heat.
Yes, there is a fair bit of caustic paste that get onto things during this process. It's not a big deal in small doses, but if you're doing a lot of this, wearing gloves is definitely advisable. I had a shoot where I captured something like 40+ 8x10 images, complete with the messy goop that entails, and boy my hands were not enjoying that by the evening!
Where in the world does one find the 8 x 10 media as well as the roller assembly needed to squeeze the chemicals through the film pouch? Was that a new 8 x 10 camera???
Hey SG! The 8x10 processor can be found easily on eBay. The film is actively sold by Polaroid. The camera is an Intrepid 8x10 MKII, which can be purchased new.
Such a cool process omg!! So inspired after watching!🌟💛 I know in part of the video it said the best results will be 5 mins after exposure but if you have older photos you took a while back would it still work?
AFAIK, doing it on an older pic might end up just moving the emulsion part up off of the chemical backing and having a weird half-peeled thing. like half of the print stuck to the acetate and the other half stuck to the backing
Great video! Is it possible to do transparencies with Polaroid photos taken months ago? Or will be a complete disaster? And can I do that with instax square film too?
The stacking looks sick. Have you tried stacking them a little apart in 3D space in a fatter frame? You know how I mean? I think my motivation for this becomes quite transparent at this point...
The 8x10 polaroid film is horrendously expensive, I use overhead projector transparancy film and just print any image on it, it can then be mounted with any backing (paper, metals...) and will give the same effect as the large polaroids.
I don’t normally speak in this manner but everything about this comment is factually incorrect. First of all, Polaroid 8x10 is substantially less expensive than color sheet film. Portra 400 is $310 for a box of 10 images. Polaroid 8x10 is $180 and includes a positive, negative, developer pods, and on top of that they are hand made. Your second point requires more time to explain but might be worth a Google, but a 35mm transparency projected would have ~60x less image area. That difference is astronomical in how it affects field of view, lensing, composition, and a whole lot else.
Why does nobody make reloadable cassettes for polaroid cameras, where you can buy and cut up film or darkroom paper, load the cassette, and then when you take photographs it spits it out into a bag or a light tight box that fits onto the bottom of the camera. It would be way cheaper than instant film and you could use so many different film stocks, best of all you could take more than 8 photographs with each cassette since the paper/negatives are thinner than the instant film.
Every cassette is reloadable! And you can do this at home for free. I’ve been doing it quite a lot recently, shooting 4x5 and 35mm in the SX-70. Ridiculous video about this coming soon
Apparently there is some added complexity in making BW for the Go work well. That doesn’t mean they aren’t still trying though. Fingers crossed we get it and Go Reclaimed Blue sometime soon!

Totally agreed, holding this kind of thing close to the vest might be standard in other mediums, but not this one! So glad Petey laid it out for us ❤
we share in this house
the pure joy in your voices

Lets GOOOOOOOOO. Can't wait to try transparancies, and I can't believe I've never tried this before 🤯
Bucket-hat-Ben is a new Era and I'm here for it.
We’ve been let into our zone and it cannot be stopped 👒
🤯 the possibilities are endless
Man! Y'all are really doing something you love. You can feel it. Thank you for sharing this inspiring video!
And there’s nothin like digging into the craft with a homie who loves it just as much!
The gold leafing is just so incredible! Also love the image stacking. Great stuff!!
Oh my gosh I was WONDERING show you got that effect!! I can’t wait to try this!!!
I love when people play with things beyond their initial intentions! You guys came up with something so fun! Nice job!
Thanks my dude ♥️
The ideas are cranking! Thanks for throwing some crazy gas on the playful Polaroid fire!
We’re going dummy out here!!!
Pete the game changer 🙌
Pete really do be like that!
Just tried this. Super fun and already thinking of possibilities of creating paintings to go behind transparencies.
You guys are giving me ideas!!!😝 That could be dangerous😝 What a brilliant way of getting a transparency to work with.
This is so cool! I think doing something like this and then trying to manipulate a photo with like, a wet cotton swab would be really interesting.
the gold leaf is so cool
I know I’m obsessed
Look up Andrew Millar and his gold leaf Polaroids. Stunning!
What a cool idea- thanks!
Can't wait to give it a try
Can’t wait to see what you do with it Brett!
Wow! Really creative! Love it. Keep up the good work, guys!
Thank you Wout!!
This was BOSS.
OMG THIS IS FANTASTIC!!!!!
I know this is for b&w only, but what would happen if you tried this with a color exposure? 🤔 just a pseudo emulsion lift? or complete and utter destruction? explosions, perhaps?
great video as always! love the fun ideas to try!
Well done indeed you dapper gents. Fired off some pure gold...leaf?!?
Leaf me zaddy
This is so creative and not boring 😄
I’m extremely glad to hear that
A video on instax mini 90 please :)

Thank you! Yes we're so stoked about this
So cool!! I need to try this one (even if I'm afraid to do everything wrong haha)
Haha live it up! Embrace the mistakes 🫵♥️
I'm usually not into manipulations but this I could get behind, looks pretty cool!
And even if you get behind it, we’ll still be able to see you! 🪟
Whenever I do this, the white stuff sticks to the back of the transparency. Any tips to keep that from happening?
Brilliant stuff!!!
Would it be possible to make silk screens from these or is the black to transparent?
This is amazing! (Also caught that humble brag lol)
How creative!!!
Can you remove the developer that sticks on the transparency?
Another banger 👌
Have you tried heat development for wild results when shooting? The film develops faster but can have cool effects. If you use the duo chrome green, the speckles become full on cracks. Color film shifts magenta or orange depending on the heat.
I have not, that sounds awesome!
I'm curious, how would this be achieved? heat gun and/or hair dryer? 🤔
@@neonhalos I've even taken the photo and set it on a hot car lol
@@DaarkCloud hey, that still works! lol
Would you suggest wearing latex/nitrile gloves for this process?
Yes, there is a fair bit of caustic paste that get onto things during this process. It's not a big deal in small doses, but if you're doing a lot of this, wearing gloves is definitely advisable. I had a shoot where I captured something like 40+ 8x10 images, complete with the messy goop that entails, and boy my hands were not enjoying that by the evening!
The coolest shit I’ve ever seen. ❤❤❤

Yay Pete!
Does this work on instax or just Polaroid? Thanks!
This only works on Polaroid B&W!
Great video! Is it possible to do transparencies with Polaroid photos taken months ago? Or will be a complete disaster? And can I do that with instax square film too?
This will only work with Polaroid B&W 600 and SX-70 films!
@@InAnInstant Thank you!
Can it be done to an instax?
Edit: that's a no, but apparently it doesn't destroy the image either! That was fun, thanks!
The stacking looks sick. Have you tried stacking them a little apart in 3D space in a fatter frame? You know how I mean? I think my motivation for this becomes quite transparent at this point...
Yes! Those frames of Pete we stacked with look great with a staggered float frame
BTW: Pete’s such an model, If I don’t smile in a picture I look angry haha
that's so cool
Is it possible to make a dark room print from these transparencies?
That's def something to try next!
@@InAnInstant Better to waste your money and watch, then waste my money and attempt LOLOLOL.
I KNOW THAT GAME
@@InAnInstant Let's play, pal...We're waiting.
Could you do this with Instax Mini pictures?
Apparently you can, but it's a much different and far more challenging process - I have to do some more research on how to pull it off
can you do the same with coloured 600 film?
This will only work with the B&W stuff 🫡
The 8x10 polaroid film is horrendously expensive, I use overhead projector transparancy film and just print any image on it, it can then be mounted with any backing (paper, metals...) and will give the same effect as the large polaroids.

Is this using 600 film? Polaroid film types are confusing.
This works with any Polaroid B&W film!

one could use the transparency to make cyanotype copies
Love this idea!!
They should make black and white for Polaroid go
I, for one, agree!
Apparently there is some added complexity in making BW for the Go work well. That doesn’t mean they aren’t still trying though. Fingers crossed we get it and Go Reclaimed Blue sometime soon!
@@patrickjclarke ok
Yo!💥💥💥💥🙏🏾
WOOHOO! FINALLY ahahaha
Dang, I'm the first
I plead the first 🖐️
Why now. 20 yesrd ago we hsve a friend that work on a insecure company and we have free polaroid cartridge we lost all this techniques to experiment
Yeah - so when you said 'he developed his own technique' - I was a bit like well we have been doing all of this since the 70''s man - so what was new?
He developed the technique with no exposure to prior methods.
@@InAnInstant mmmmm
Wasting the film kills me lol
Wasting it? What kind of picture or process wouldn’t be wasting it in your opinion lmao
@@InAnInstant well the film are expensive so making for special ocasions pictures are really great ., but transparent arent. Really good thing
