This is exactly how we processed film in the jungles of Vietnam. We were glad to get anything on film. Instead of water pitchers we used M1 helmets.
Seriously????????
😂
Very nicely done I also would like to see a reversal process tutorial Thank you
love the adhesions. primitive method exploring chance. love it thank you
Hello.
I would never have guessed that you can take color film and cram it in a bucket, then develop it with b&w paper chemicals and still get something discernible. I have been debating getting my grandpa's 8mm camera going again after 40 years of sitting (a battery operated Konica). I can make a slitter for it as I have some metalworking experience. I also found a more, eh, "proper" way to work with b&w to get a positive out of it without spending all my lunch money on fancy chemicals or processing. The recipe is under the developing section of super8camera.com, between the Kodak instructions and the Color stuff. I could also make a developing tank where the film wraps around hourglass-shaped pillars so it doesn't double up on itself or leave shadows on the film. I have messed with an old Voigtlander Avus with 120 Arista film but that is about it for darkroom experience. You've convinced me I should go ahead and try it.
Thanks

Wow, thanks for the awesome tutorial. Your dark tank is such a great idea! Think i'll make one for myself! What type of fixtures did you use to allow liquid to go in, but no light to reach the film inside?
Cadet Cuington I will cover DIY dark tanks in the future so stay tuned.
Ive been looking for that video. Is it out yet in 2024?
That pipe gives me a great idea to use to develop 5x7 camera film. Which is the video showing how you did the inlet for the chemocals?
are you Jonathan Townsend?
hi,,how will the kodak intermediate film look when finished??what exposure do you use to film with this type of film,,??kodak told me with my intermediate that EI is 4,,does this film need lots of light to expose properly in filming??i have 8000 feet i want to start filming a short with,,,what do you recommend for use of this intermediate type film,???
Can you post a video developing the negative film to a positive result? Because to put the negative in a projector is not a good idea. Thank you
use reversal film
I don't understand why anyone would want to process film without any way of separating the film with reels or some other means to prevent sticking of the emulsion. I guess it's okay if you're the only one seeing the film.
Neat!
Excellent film. I have a 16mm cartridge that came out of a Gun camera, possibly from 1944. It may or may not have been exposed. Do you think it would be worth trying to get the film developed? I can't help but fantasize about a WWII shooting sequence that might be on it.
I would think it would be worth way more than money if it does contain historical images of a time few actually remember or care about. Did you ever do anything witk it?
Any chance of doing a reversal process tutorial?
Mark Hinchey You can do this as reversal, but I personally didn't see the point as I was going to telecine and do the rest of the work in digital where it is much easier to reverse it. If you want to project it then it is possible but you still have the color mask to deal with. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!
If you don't want to digitize your film, how do you inverse the image so its not a negative, and can be played through a projector?
Thanks for great videos. Please post more of your techniques and experiments :)
Had to watch through 3 parts of this before he drops the bombshell….”This is only good for black and white” ….. ???
Sure wish you would have said that in part 1 !!
where do you get blank 16mm film I have a camera and a projector but I don't know where to find any film
+Jake Aigner Not too hard. You might want to check professional, registered sellers on Ebay or google "16mm film stock" (ignoring the top suggestions which are usually Wikipedia and the likes). Where are you located? I could provide a few suggestions in the US and Europe (EU) if you like.
Do you need a stop bath or does the rinse act as a stop bath?
+Thomas Jones You can stop with any regular stop bath but a good rinse usually gets the job done.
Good job, you just don’t show how to develop 16 mm film. You also give advice on sending it to professional lab well done. When I used to develop 35mm fitm we used metal reels to keep the film from touching. Is there reels for 16mm ? Or maybe make them…
What a messy way to develop film, if this is actually "developing". That's frightening...
+Alexandre Grden Yep. Probably just great for "art" film projects - very likely unacceptable for anything resembling a "movie". Don't get me wrong: I like the basic DIY idea, but for best results I'd trust my precious film to a lab with solid reputation and make sure they apply the 100% correct process for my film stock. Been to film labs in television stations when still a lot of 16mm was used (many moons ago) - it was a fully automated process in a very clean lab environment - and the (controlled) temperatures of the various chemicals had a very small tolerance - with LED read outs - and that was a forgiving color reversal film stock for fast processing = roughly film length at 25 fps (PAL standard) plus 30 minutes (Eastman 16mm VNF - long since discontinued).
I do this with black and white film and it works well.
How did they do it colonial times?
You are not afraid about scratching the film??
GuyBodart No, I don't mind flaws. If you want perfect then get out your digital, If you want the footage to have character then let it have some flaws. Thanks for Watching!
16mmAdventures I do not shoot digital. Only S16,Ultra 16mm and 35mm. I can assure you you will never get a professional result with your system. As Mark said, you need a professional machine with all the right chemical and respect time and temperature. Impossible to keep an exact temperature in a drum. Anyway, I want my negative very well processed without any scratches at all. Why do you want to do it yourself. A lab will charge you + - .40 cent per foot.
GuyBodart Thanks for replying back! I think you answered my whole premise with your last line. This channel and my philosophy is about experimenting with 16mm without spending 40 cents a foot. I love the idea that you can still do professional S16, ultra 16 and 35mm film work, but that is a giant leap if you just want to play with it. I never promise anyone that doing it the way I showed with produce anything but very crude results. This processing technique is for getting your feet wet, having fun, learning, and low budget experimenting and to show that you can do it yourself without difficult to find chemicals and expensive processing equipment. I have a lot of fun and I love the product that comes out in the end. I will have to do a video where I break down exactly what you get and what you don't get along with a time and cost comparison. Thanks for the comment.
Guy Bodart worked with Sergio Leone. Once Upon A Time in the West!
@Thane Mac Developing is fun of course. I did it years ago. But about film and digital, film is much better and have a better cinema picture than the digital lifeless picture.I shoot on film.
