- In this video, I discuss and review the latest products from the Canadian Film company Flicfilm. I tested out rolls of their two new color film products and I've compiled my thoughts on each! Street Candy Psychedelic 400 is a desaturated, vintage-vibey novelty stock with a thick grain structure and great contrast. Aurora 800 is one of my new favourite 35mm filmstocks, with great color fidelity and a fine grain structure. Throughout the video, I'll show examples of each stock, both edited and unedited.
I talk about these new products, as well as a few of the other products Flicfilm has to offer. At the end of the video, I talk briefly about flicfilm's company ethos etc, as well as their business venture with Street Candy!

Glad to find out I'm not the only wiedro out there who keeps all film boxes.
same here ahahaha
Great review! Can’t wait to try this. Like everyone else I’m looking for Portra substitutes. Love the Elektra as well and hoping the Chrome will be good.
Yay to Canadian businesses that support my film obsession!
I realy appreciate, that you put up the clean scan with the editted one!
I've shot Flic Films Electra 100 and their slide film Chrome 100. I haven't seen Aurora turn up where I live yet, but if it's the same as Lomo 800, I'm not surprised you loved the stock, because Lomo 800 is the Goat.
These are such beautiful photos, I love you're style of shooting! The ones in Japan are so cool
@@OllyKing aye thank you so much! I appreciate that :D
I've been a big fan of Elektra 100 since I got into film last year, so I rushed to try Aurora 800 when it launched, and I adore it. Aurora just has such good color, and handles shadows and midtones so nicely. I've shot it at 1600 in a high contrast area of street and it was some of my favorite shots. So much range to work with editing wise.
Also, I'll go and tell you that while I don't care what type of film stock Aurora actually is, I will say that in spite of what you mentioned, it is not possibly Portra. It has different character, and in my opinion, nicer character that makes it useful for far more than just portraits
I bought five rolls of Aurora 800 from Brooklyn Film Camera at $15 per roll U.S., and so far have shot/developed and scanned one roll. I'm 99% sure it is the same film as Lomography Color Negative 800 and Kodak Max 800 from disposables by how it dries and scans- which is one of my favorite 35mm stocks, so no complaints here.
Just shot my first roll of Aurora 800! Can’t wait to get it developed and see the results, loved the pics you took 👌🏾
Looking forward to the 800 test! Finally, we will have the answer!
Totally sold on Aurora, that's stunning.
Sounds like most of these stocks benefit from underrating...as pretty much all negative stocks do ;-). I never knew a pro shooter that rated anything 400 over 320, and most would rate as 200-250 ISO.
I shot my first roll of Aurora back in February and I absolutely love it. Definitely has that Kodak Gold vibe to it but the grain is sublime. I just ordered four more rolls this afternoon. Thanks for the video!
I paused the video at 1:30 and went to Downtown Camera’s site to check prices for Flic Film. For Elektra 100, Chrome 100 and Aurora 800, the prices are : $17, 21 and 22.50 CDN respectively. I don’t consider that affordable imo. I guess that’s the Canadian economy/ prices. Why isn’t anyone selling 24 exposure rolls anymore to make things a little bit more affordable?
Downtown Camera is a bit pricey; Studio Argentique is currently selling Elektra 100 for $12, and I've picked up Chrome 100 for less than $20 at a local camera store a few months ago. It's definitely more expensive here, but it's not as dramatic as it might seem. Kerrisdale Cameras has 36 exposure Gold 200 listed for $15.99 on their website, which is $11.69 USD at the moment. Freestyle Photo is selling it for $10.99 USD, which is pretty close. Weirdly, Fujifilm (well, "Fujifilm") seems to be much cheaper in the US than it is here. Ilford seems to be about the same price.
@@XCVGVCX one roll of Gold 200 $15.99😭 when I used to get Gold 3pack for $15 at Walmart😭 ouch! Downtown Camera is in my area, so ordering from Studio Argentique would probably end up costing me the same. I gotta say though, they have the Kodak and Fuji disposables for a lot cheaper than near me. Like $10 cheaper!
Thank you for sharing and your insights on it! Looking forward to your next video on it!
I recently shot a roll of Aurora 800 of portraits at a Renaissance Festival. They turned out nice especially in more subdued overcast light because it gives the colors a bit more punch. Especially the reds. I think in contrasty light it might be overwhelming for portraits unless you are photographing colorful street scenes. I had the negatives lab scanned and printed and the skin tones were a little too red so I’ll be re-scanning them myself.
I don't often say this, but Aurora 800 looks amazing, and Flic Film is a good person from what I've seen. I still need to get my hands on their MQ-19 developer. As for what Aurora 800 is, what is on the negative rebates that often will give a clue? But I will have to get my hands on that Aurora stuff for a try!
I miss my 7,95 three-packs 😫😫
I really enjoy shooting Aerocolor/Elektra but Aurora (and even Wolfen 400 curiously) hasn't appeared in Germany yet.
Super cool, thank you for this
I’m glad I watched this video, cuz now I know about Flic Film.
How did you shoot the double exposure portraits? They look amazing! 🤩
I used my Nikon F801s! It has a multiple exposure setting that lets me set up to 9 exposures at a time :o
I tried a roll of Aurora 800 in NYC recently, and really liked it, much more than Vision 3 with the remjet removed. I only got 34 shots off my roll, but I've got 1 more roll to try. I do wish it had DX coding on the roll as the camera I was using defaults to iso100 without DX coding and will not let you set it, had to max out the exposure compensation.
tin foil and electrical tape!
Like the look but seems to be 35mm only, which is a shame as I shoot 120 and 4x5 - hopefully they start cutting 120 in the future!
Oooh Aurora 800 is perdy. Yes, I am definitely curious to see what you turn up in your experiment. I've heard mostly negative things about Portra 800, and I tend to avoid 800 ISO color neg in general, but this has my curiousity for sure. I like Flic Film, they do a good thing in general, even a little thing like re-spooling Ektachrome and selling it cheaper is a nice option.
Okay, I won't comment about how cheap film used to be, but I will comment for the benefit of public awareness that color film can be had for under $5 a roll (36 exp) today if one doesn't mind bulk rolling, and processing Vision 3 in ECN rather than C41, or just using a remjet removing pre-wash. It'd be a hefty up-front purchase, but the long-term savings bring it down to under five bucks a roll. It requires some time and some work, but it can save hundred of dollars if you expect to shoot a lot of color. Just sayin' it IS an option. ;)
Another solid video, Yvonne.
Cheers!
Aye thank you for watching! Still working up the courage to start bulk rolling black and white! I think I like testing random film too much to commit to one color film haha. Thank you for the reminder though!
Thank you so much for your video, it's great! It makes me wanna shoot all these films so badly. One question: what camera did you use to shoot these street photos?
Aye thanks for watching! I used my Nikon F801s!
Me scanning Santa color while watching this all like 👀😅
great video
fire i need try there film
Where in Vancouver can i buy Flic film? Is there a reason all of their canisters aren't cardboard?
The 800 sounds great for Northwest weather.
I don't care if this is an improved Perutz color film emulsion made by GAF in the Dakotas on old Forte machinery.
Im looking forward to your next dive into this!
You can buy Aurora and Elektra on Freestyle, through my affiliate link ;D Psychedelic Love seems a bit harder to find!
@@YvonneHansonPhotography I'm a lot closer to Vancouver. And I have relatives living there. It is a quick road trip.
@@Kitsaplorax Beau photo sells it! I don't know if they have Aurora 800 yet but I'm sure they will soon- and they sell Elektra 100 for sure, as well as some of the cine films!
I think I saw Aurora 800 at Kerrisdale Cameras the other day. They also stock Elektra 100 and maybe XX-250, but unfortunately not Chrome 100 as far as I can tell.
@@YvonneHansonPhotography Thank you very much!
Wow your canadian prices are high. Flic Film Aurora 800 is $15 at Brooklyn film camera and $16 at BandH here in the states.
Our dollar is worth about 30% less than USD it sucks
@@YvonneHansonPhotography That does suck. The next time you are in the states stock up on film.
@@thevoiceman6192 unfortunately because my money is all Canadian dollars, if I buy something in the states that costs $10 USD, it takes $15 out of my bank account in CAD. So usually it's cheaper to buy film in Canada!
Really like the 100 film but i find some of the cameras i use struggle to advance the film to the next frame when i get say around two thirds through has anyone else had this problem 🤔🇦🇨
Is aurora 800 dx coded?
Nice 🔥👏🏻
6:52 is it like that or u added some sort of lens to get that look on that lady
I used a Nisha prism filter for that look! I believe it was the Nisha R7 55mm filter
i would love to shoot aurora 800 but my camera goes from 400 iso to 1000, no 800. would you recommend pushing it? still kinda new to film so any advice is appreciated
yeah you could push it! 1000 wouldn't be a crazy jump, its a pretty versatile stock.
@@YvonneHansonPhotography gotcha, so just shoot it at 1000 iso and process it normally. in that case would it not be best to shoot in the daylight?
@@hamza7936 you would have to push it in processing as well! Daylight should still be fine depending on your aperture/ shutter speed
@@YvonneHansonPhotography ahh ok, i have a point and shoot so not much i can change there
If you just want to try it and don't need the extra ISO, shoot it at 400. Color negative film usually handles multiple stops of overexposure pretty well and a single stop more light shouldn't really be noticeable. Developed normally.
I don't see the link to freestyle😢
Omg I forgot to put it in didn't I
I've been shooting films since 1971 and I don't really care what you think, but this price gouging... Please don't sugar coat your sales pitch!
I just don't like their plastic bulky canisters that barely let the film door close. Not very encouraging to load.
I'm not a fan of them either, but I kinda just put up with them as a concession to the lower price point. Some cameras definitely have more trouble with them than others; it feels like I'm forcing them into my Maxxum 7, but they're fine in my Maxxum 5.
Try taking the sticker label off the canister, sometimes its enough to let it properly close
I like the 800 but I like all film. You mention about environmental friendly. Digital is just as bad for the environment.
I can tell you the secret to what this film is as its not going to be manufactured in the near future anymore (Hint: Kodak found out and is no longer selling the master rolls to flicfilm :(
THE PLOT THICKENS :o Now I'm really excited for the 800iso test...
Impossible to follow with this flat turbo voice.
