8x10 | My First Exposure 

This is the exact combination of film, depression and memes I look for in a video.

This feels like a fever dream in the best way possible.

This video caused me to start meth because large format is too expensive

Without a doubt, the best thing I've ever watched.

Loved the Cameo! 😉Also, I can honestly say you very much encapsulated the experience of shooting 8x10 too. 👍

why not 8 minutes and 10 seconds, seems like a missed opportunity

Slowly repeating to myself “I will not look at large format cameras on eBay, I will not look at large format cameras on RU-vid, I will not”

I like to think this is what the greats like Alec Soth and Joel Sternfeld think of when shooting 8x10.

Booo.... I was there and I still got chills... and a semi...

Amazing to find out that you’re not actually Walmart Ryan Gosling, but rather Costco Terrance Malick

This makes my medium format into the LARGE format

Bro shot this like a documentary YES man

The monster glistening in the light was so beautiful it moved me to tears , nature is so amazing

That “click, black out” was brilliant. The whole video was brilliant.

“wtf is he looking at” 😂😂

this is it...the only film channel ill ever need

Extract from my dissertation about this video: Jason's video journey into exploring the mysteries of large format photography reveals the fundamental irony that is the subtext of the genre. It seemingly inherently evokes a sense of mystical wonderment, capturing light in a way that is uncanny to our everyday sensibilities. Yet this spiritual journey undertaken by Jason must be mitigated through supremely physical means. The very thing that leads him on this spiritual sojourn is an increasing dependence on the crass materiality of the medium. This is seen in the moment of his spiritual escape, only to be dragged back to this mortal coil by the very thing that granted him release. This Cartesian duality feeds into the sense of the liminal unreality that hallmarks the video.

Finally, somebody makes a film about large format that gets to the emotional heart of the matter, bravo!

So silly and funny until that reveal of the photos at the end, then I was a bit overcome, I admit. Really beautiful portraits of your family.

Okay, I know this is a parody and I should post something sarcastic but I CRIED literal salt tears because from an outsiders perspective you have such a SUPPORTIVE partner whom allows you to photograph her and I know I'm supposed to recognize that I only see a small blip of your relationship but damn it hurts because I feel like my photography has been hard for past partners to see as my love language for them. I hope this gets lost amongst the witty comments but I just had to share. Thanks for creating the content you do.

Honestly, this is the single greatest video I’ve seen in my life

The only way this would have been better is if all that build up was for an out of focus picture.

"Kodak Colour Plus 200" 😂😂

Kudos to your ever-so-patient models. They had to suffer for your art. The results validate their misery. Great work!

The look in her eyes is the realisation that any idea of ever buying a house just got flushed down the drain.

Jason, you have a very, very dear spot in my heart.

8x10 is awesome! Be careful it can hook you up fast.

Beautiful. Awesome.

Honestly, this was a really entertaining video. Well done man and those photos came out beautifully.

I appreciate the dedication it took to make this video. I was on the edge the whole time and stunned by the quality of the pic at the end. Thanks for doing this.

You need to get your hands on a Kodak Aero 178mm f2.5 lens. You'll need to pair it with a camera with internal shutter though like a graphlex. If someone can loan him one, please do.

This is way moodier than i expected, i love it.

People who aren't regular viewers are gonna be confused. Great video. PLEASE, continue making ultra confusing content. I want to be confused more.

plot twist: He forgot the lens cap on!

All hail the Ben-Zilla! Music choice and voice is very appropriate Horne worship.

This was beautiful, I laughed my a** off. Yours is by far my favourite photography channel, it's just a perfect mix of humor and film.

Well done! There are few things more amazing than poring over an 8x10 negative.

The final image actually made me say awww. Very funny, very sweet.

Fun video. My parent's house is just up the street where I built my 4X5 view camera in my dad's machine shop (college days). That park is where my buddy Greg and I invented Frisbee golf back in 1972. We never got any credit for it though.

I think I just watched the last 8x10 video that ever needs to be watched! 😂😂😂

Crazy that this is the best video on the whole of RU-vid

Reminded me of Apocalypse Now. The voiceover, the opening bedroom scene, the toilet water. Man, I loved Apocalypse Now.

Wow this was just magical! Thanks for this soul journey 🥲

You said it man! Nobody fuck$ with LARGE format.

You are the hero we need in these dark times. Thank you fam.

the "taking a mug out of a cupboard" slow-mo at 0:55 reminds me so much of Joel Haver 😂

Awesome. I love shooting 8x10 ... I'm trying to hold off because I know I'll actually go broke buying that film.

The look on Monica and Baxter’s faces says it all ;-)

First Exposure . . . Exciting!

It’s content like this that makes it one of my favorite RU-vid channels, this is sick dude!

Jokes aside, the images are incredible I almost teared up, beauty of it hit me, I been shooting 35mm for a few months but now Im seriously considering going for medium format, and maybe one day large.

By far the funniest video I believe you've made LOL 😆

This video is absolutely perfect.

This should win an award.

This is a masterpiece of cinema. 11/10

Literally every vid over the past like 3 weeks has been what I was looking into and I’m in love

Jason, I have to admit that I love your videos, but this is the only one I have watched twice. Good stuff brother!

Your channel is pure gold! Please never change.

This was a great watch while eating breakfast to start my day 😂

I think this might be the best video on RU-vid

I think alan moore woul approve this as the best watchmen adaptation 😂

I honestly love this documentary and definitely want more of this ❤️

the monster in the coffee mug killed me

Beautiful documentary.

Now you are ready for the next level - 8x10 street photography.

This is like the film photographers version of a Baywatch episode. 8x10 in slowmo only. Ssssexxy.

You can’t see me but know that I’m standing and clapping. Slowly of course. Well done.

Absolutely brilliant

Literal perfection in a video. 8x10 sounds like a dream

Who else is binge watching Jason's vids again and again

Most wholesome video in the world

So this is what it looks like when Jason takes his Ativan. A magical euphoria of large format film and Jason shitting himself.

Wow. How does this not have more views? I love this

The "lose yourself" rhymes were not expected!! Man, you're my idol!!

Nor the tears or zoodles could be stopped from pouring out of me. This was beauty beyond compare.

The best interstellar trailer so far
