The purpose of the remjet layer is NOT primarily anti-halation (though it is very effective at it since it is both opaque and non-reflective). A regular anti-halation layer would handle that much cheaper since they could uses the same coating setup as other films. The remjet layer is carbon, and helps stop arcing in hot, dry shooting conditions by dissipating static electricity. Shooting at 24 frames per second, static electricity used to cause serious issues with arcs, and it sometimes ruined takes. This problem has virtually gone away with remjet-backed films.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE how NOT pretentious you guys were. These ppl that shoot film on YT are SO overly pretentious when it comes to film they are EMBARRASSING to watch. But y’all were just a joy to watch.
To the point, informative, interesting, don’t have to sit through 5 minutes of b-roll before you actually talk about the film, bless you boys. Making me want to dust off my ole film camera.
Denton!!! I love how quite and relaxed Denton is, some friends and I went during the fall last year and it was so nice, much more peaceful and quiet than Houston
Nice photos Logan! The pixs more than made-up for the boring town :-) I plan on grabbing a role or two of Cinestill and head to Clearwater Beach, here in Florida. I will share a link to the pixs when I have them developed. Another cool intro... Warmest regards to Team Shutterstock! Be well and stay encouraged!!!
Cool video. As soon as I saw the Wells Fargo building I thought wait a minute... "Boring town? Wells Fargo? Denton!" I shoot a bunch of Cinestill in Dallas. My favorite stock by far!
Denton is SUPER BORING but its awesome to see you guys shooting out of there. Wish I would have had folks like you guys when I lived there to run around and do camera stuff with. Anyways i'm a new subscriber and really love the content you guys create! Keep it up!
Can you provide shutter speed and fstop for your exposures? Or if shooting in priority mode, exposure compensation settings? It looks like you handhold most of the time but sometimes you had tripods out
When you went to the bookstore, I was thinking, they're in Denton! I'm down the road in a little town called Dallas! Great work guys! I gave my godd photog friend one of my old Canon EOS 1 film cameras, because she wanted to shoot 'film". I said I would never go back...but you're making me want to break out the other one...
oh hey, you were in the bookstore and I thought, "that looks just like the bookstore I went to when I was in Denton last month," and then it was! haha! I enjoyed the video; I live not too far away, in Shreveport, and I struggle to find interesting things to photograph as well (editing a video right now where I was shooting downtown with a 4x5 camera), so I feel your pain. I think you found some good stuff to shoot, and Cinestill always makes things look cool :)
The long exposures look best to me. Seems like this film likes more light. The others are a bit murky. Or are the high Rez better? Cool post. I want to shoot some of this now
*I spent my high-school-days learning photography in a similarly boring small town.* Great video though, and I can't wait to give *CineStill 800Tungsten* a try.
I absolutely love shooting Cinestill 800 film. its the only film I use for shooting at night, especially in areas where you have lots of street lights etc that give you that gorgeous halation effect in your final pics. reminds me I need to stock up on a few rolls as well. plus I really want to try that XX b&w film too.
@@Armani_ca do you mean the Canon A1? I havent heard of the Nikon A1. as long as it has a good lens on it you'll be able to get the same kind of photos. Cinestill is a special film that creates the effects you get with it. the lenses on your camera decide how good the quality will be.
They actually work very closely together with Kodak for making the 120 rolls. BTW I had the best results with 800T rated at 640 ASA in tungsten, 500 ASA for daylight and I shoot with an 85 filter under daylight.
How can 120 "motion picture film" be modified if that size doesn't exist for filming? Nice little fact: remjet is by the way initially made to protect the film for not catching fire. An additional benefit was that it also helped against halation.
cool video ! shooting in a small town is tough but if you have a good eye for it, you can make it work. Which you've done. I hope to make videos like this soon (in my nowhere town) :D
Cool video. 1 totally want to try shooting with Cinestill now. Its funny the camera you're using in the video 1 saw a man shooting with one outside the store 1 work at earlier today. I'd never even seen one before.
I enjoyed shooting the Kodak 5207 which is really beautiful and looks a little bit different from the "normal" film stock on the market. It gives a very neutral skin ton and it seems to have more dynamic range to handle underexposure.
About the Denton bicycle shop in the video, it has an older namesake. Long ago, there was a Denton Cycles in Newcastle Upon Tyne in north-east England. They sold high-quality hand-built bicycles. The frames were made by a company called Mercian Cycles, which does still exist, and still makes essentially the same product www.merciancycles.co.uk/ so maybe Denton in Texas is not so boring after all. Film photography and classic bicycles go together well.
Just to be sure that they got all the remjet off, is it recommended to put plain water in your developing tank, agitate a bit then pour out before adding the c41 developer?
4:23 I hope you took the lens cap off! ha anyways, I love Cinestill and love seeing how others use it. Ive shot mine at night and at some basketball games and always love how it comes out. Great video.
What correction factor did you use for the long exposures? Cinestill doesn’t have any data on reciprocity failure, and I’m just ballparking at 1.26-1.30 for my first shoot with this stuff.
Hi team. Top notch update. You guys are awesome. I will take up your offer and conduct long exposures using Cinestill800T. Why not use your Cinestill 800T with your RZ?
Nice work! I'm considering using the Cinestill 800T to shoot some night time concerts. Unfortunately, the lens I'll be using is a bit slow at f3.5. Do you reckon this film would give me decent exposures at the box speed with that kind of subject matter? Like any negative film, I want to avoid underexposure. I have considered pushing it one stop but Ive seen examples of it pushed one - two stops online and it looks like it gets fairly grainy.
For the hand held shots, what shutter speeds were you using? I'm guessing around 1/60th or 1/125th? Also, what's the maximum aperture of the lens that you were using?
Great video. Thank you so much. Could you please recommend a film stills camera to start with. I am interested. PS I don’t think that neighbourhood is boring.
Which aperture, iso, shutter speed settings would you reccomend for shooting 800T film at night under neon lights? Ive got a pentax 645n with a manual focus lens.
Great video, thanks! What would be your recommandation to scan the film? I use Viewscan, though there is no color correction for this film, Epson Scan makes even better results.
In London there are a tonne of chicken shops. i just got this roll to take shots of them. I just dont know how to configure the settings when its dark.
YOOOOOO WTF I THOUGHT THIS WAS SHUTTERSTOCK SEEING RECYCLED BOOKS LITERALLY GAVE ME MENTAL WHIPLASH. I stg bro mr shutterstock himself even likes the spots
He highly recommends this film. Let's add it up. Cinestill takes a standard Kodak movie film, modifies it so you have the convenience of cross-processing it in C-41 labs, makes it vulnerable to so much flare that they have to advertise this as a virtue, and leaves you with negatives which cannot be practically printed without digital intervention because (1) color shifts from the cross processing and (2) the movie stock uses dyes which are matched to positive movie stock, not RS-4 process. And for these "benefits", you pay $15 a roll, or 50 - 100% more than regular film which performs better by every measure you can apply. What a bargain!
The results are still fine if you shoot the entire roll handheld right? Don't have a tripod but also don't want all the pictures to be super shaky or blurry. Any advice?
Hi! Would you get similar halation results to 800t with Ultramax WITH a Promist filter (or equivalent) attached to the lens then? since it is a 500 asa shot at 800: aren't we underexposing? (but pushing the film when developing it may correct the under exposure)
Totally agree most on ig or videos are New York/ tokyo. Lovely city with full neon lights. But great tips for smaller cities. Love the gas station shots ! Also how long were those long exposure at the end?
@@nicksucio For long exposures, I'll usually close the aperture quite a bit to keep things sharp. For these shots I went with around f/22. It's kind of whatever is the smallest aperture I can use without having to do a ridiculously long exposure.
I want to shoot bnw film...what type of m42 camera body can I get for cheap to start? (I have some vintage m42 Mount lenses which I adapt for my A7III)
