Processing Super-8 Ektachrome with the Filmomat

- In this video I show you how to process Super-8 motion picture film with the Filmomat and the new motion picture processing system!
A 15m roll of Ektachrome 100D is processed with the Tetenal E6 chemistry and the result is shown on the projector. Find out more about the new system on www.filmomat.eu
In the same way you can also process Double-8 or 16mm film with the Filmomat. Processing ECN-2 films can be processed as well, but need a bit of manual work to remove the RemJet layer. This might be material for a future video.

This is GAME CHANGING!! Developing movie film at home is now viable for me! Thank you so much for the tutorial, I will definitely save for this set up!
I've been waiting for something like this for well over a decade.
This is incredible. So happy to see new innovations for 8mm film
Chapeau! This is top-notch engineering!
Wow this machine is super cool. It is almost like decorative fountain.
I love your way to producing master pieces!! I will buy filmomat automatic processer! Please wrap it well and ship it. And don't lose your inspiration and enthusiasm. My photo life is up to you. Don't forget. ^^ from Korea.
Nice work! Love the filmomat! Can you share your formula and times with us?
The results from Filmomat look very good.. reversal process. E6
ECN2 probably better going through a machine processor.. to put in perspective. These machines are massive. REM jet is removed with water jets, then there’s cross over devices… if you visit a commercial lab your see for yourself. REM jet a real mission to deal with doing it by hand after processing.. yes your colour dev will be contaminated.
There’s a less toxic aggressive bleach you can use with ECN2, mix from raw chemicals.
Worth noting disposing of the used bleach
Should be given to a professional chemical disposal company.. you shouldn’t pour it into local waste water.. very toxic. In the uk you risk been fined.
I’m very excited by this machine. It is putting professional quality processing in more hands which is very positive. I’m very tempted to buy it for reversal processing.
I wish the project ever success.
With no more Tetenal E-6, I am thinking of creating a new program for the machine with a six bath E-6 process.
very interesting!!!
Hello, this device looks great! I want to ask whether this equipment is for sale
I want one of these units so much, This is such a fantastic concept for film development. How much do i have to mortgage the house to get one to Australia?....(the country that has nothing cool and even that's 3 months behind....)
So cool!!!
If we put aside the cost of machine, only for the chemical solutions.. how much is approx. the cost to develop one cart of Ekrachrome? We have to be honest here since some labs.charge around $18-25/ cart.
Extremely cheap
Wonderful!
Give me an ectachrome and I will develop it
Awesome :)
This is fantastic and I would say a game changer! I have a couple of questions:
1) I notice that there is no ‘remjet’ removal step here, how is it that this gets removed from the film?
2) is it possible to develop 16mm film in the Filmomat and how would the setup differ from Super8?
Congratulations once again on creating this product!
Thank you! In this video I process Ektachrome (reversal film), which has no RemJet.
The workflow for 16mm is the same, you just need to increase the distance of the spiral to 16mm :)
@@filmomat_official thanks for the info. Would you be able to process B&W reversal films such as the Super8 Kodak Tri-X 7266?
@@TheLucaaw Yes, black and white reversal is perfectly doable with this setup. You can for example use the Foma reversal Kit, or also the new Adox reversal kit.
That is quite the setup! Is the tank capable of processing with a ECN-2 developer?
With certain compromises, yes. There is no good way to remove the Remjet though. That`s the first thing. Then, bleach fixes for ECN are bad. But you could live with that. Proper ECN UL bleach would attack the tanks, so you`d have to substitute it. All possible. So, can you process ECN-2 S8 film? Yes. Will it be fun and convenient? No. Removing the Remjet only after processing will be no option either, btw: The CD is alkaline and will soften and solve the Remjet layer, and wash parts of it into the CD, rendering it unusable for other films. Thus, you´d have to run it as one-shot, which is not very efficient.
You can definitely do ECN2 with this setup and I will probably do a separate video about that at some point. In the La Palma video I linked, there is 50% Vision 50D footage, so you can definitely get really nice results. For end users there are several small Kits available, for example the Bellini ECN-2 Kit. Using the "original" Kodak chemistry makes little sense as you can only buy that in 20L bulk quantities (the Filmomat only needs 500mL). There are two main limitations: ECN2 needs 5 baths, but the Filmomat has only 3 tanks. This requires to split the process into two parts and exchange the chemistry in between. It's easily done in 5min. Second, like Ludwig already said, is the RemJet. The majority of the RemJet is removed during the process, after the PreBath and rinse. A small part sticks to the film, tough, and needs to be wiped off with a soft sponge after the process. This is a bit tedious and the film needs to be wiped multiple times, to get rid of all the RemJet. Of course its not as convenient as sending the film to the lab, but it's definitely fun to do.
At the end of the day, ECN2 was always designed to be done in continuous processors - so doing it in batch (no matter if with the Filmomat, Lomo Tank or whatever equipment) will always be a bit of a compromise.
It is really a nice innovation.. It will encourage the newbies in super 8 hobby . I have one question, the clear plastic tubes used here for chemical tanks , seems to me Acrylic plastic material. Dose E-6 chemicals has any corrosive effect on Acrylic? I also noticed , there are lots of bubbles inside the chemicals tubes once the chemical return back to the tank. In this process is there any possibility to oxidised the chemicals ? as we now , oxidisation de-grade the quality of chemicals for 2nd use. Your feedback will be appreciated . Thanks again for your effort.
how about scanning? i would like to learn how to scan too! could you make a tutorial?
scanning super 8 without a good dedicated scanner isn't worth it in my experience and good ones are very expensive.
Fuck, it's sharper than my bmpcc6k...
Hello
Good afternoon
The problem is color stability, either EKtachrome or Agfacolor S8, the colors deteriorate very quickly, the only one that could last at least 50 years was Kodachrome, the best amateur color film ever made, grain very thin, high color quality and long life, unfortunately, Kodak stopped making this film.
Zdravo
Da li se to gubljenje boje dešava i na Fuji velvia, ili provia, posle dužeg vremena?
Hvala

Goodnight
All chromogenic films lose color, only some are more stable than others.
It also has to do with how the films are preserved, which must be around 10º Celsius and 50/55% humidity without contact with gases or other types of different films.
@@josesaraiva9566Filmove čuvam na sobnoj temperaturi, dakle oko 22 stepena. Boljih uslova nemam, kao i mnogi. Negde sam čuo da filmovi brže propadaju ako se drže hermetički zatvoreni u kutijama.
Ispostavlja se da su najdugotrajniji crno - beli filmovi, jer oni nikako ne mogu da izblede.
I don’t even want to see how much this set-up costs.
It’s a dream but, cost prohibitive to the majority.
I just process it by hand.
