Medium Format Retrochrome 

a new grainydays video is like being relieved of a giant shart after a long day

No expiry date in Jason‘s videos. Always fresh.

Dude, the shot at 3:14 is the most paintingest photo I have ever seen. Wicked stuff!

And just like that, Daddy Jason blessed our thursday with a retrochrome video

I shot exclusively motion picture film from Whatevergraphy when I was in Taipei recently. They hand roll and develop film at their studio. Best part, Kodak 500T, 250D and 50D are all about 6 USD per roll.

Hey man, saw you on NBC. Boy was that a surprise! They must have cut all of your Aerocrhome demands to Kodak for time. Keep chugging those Flamin Hot Mountain Dews!

Hell yes bro you saved my ass on this long drive! I really hope you will come out with your own film roll within the next 5 years!

Tbh I am so happy that you got to mess with a similar stock in medium! I jive with the tones that you got with the E-6 processing regardless, but C-41 is good too. Also the grain on these reminded me of wallpaper for some reason and might look sick if printed on sticker paper and applied to a wall.

I really like these shots. I think the cross-processed ones look the best!

Love the retro tones, will buy some

This look is awesome

The expectation was off BUT the images still look like paintings honestly! They look awesome👏

I think it looks really cool ! Some tones seems to blend together like in a painting. I would have loved to see what it has to show on darker, more contrasty setups. In the woods or by a lake. Hard to find in California between the droughts and the fires.

Nothing in life is better than seeing that Jason Kummfieldt has uploaded. Keep up the banger videos man

The amount of wasted time in this channel if you think about time spent by Jason taking the photos, filming, editing, someone processing and scanning the photos and all people watching it. Mind blowing.

time for the best 10 minutes of my every other thursday

It looks cool. I like it. E6 and C-41.

I think that first photo looks straight up like a painting. Very dope. I will see you one day.

No more doin the dew, no more aerochrome.

Omg you were just on Lester Holts show!!!! You are a rock star!!

e6 wins for me that StarWars desert colour scheme just hits the right cord with me, or i'm just a sucker for shallow colour, grain and that smoke!

let's goo new grainydays

I don’t know why you’re disappointed about these shots, the look really works for the locations. You probably expected something different but I think you’ll look back on these in a year and realize that they’re actually very nice.

Silent flex with the Cine Zeiss in the back

Thank heavens this video showed up to break up the monotonous nature of my daily gutter installation grind. God bless.

This video is smooth as a snail...😌👌

"1 dollar short of a very nice joke" is genius.

These colours really remind me of Maria Lax's Some Kind of Heavenly Fire. you may come back to them and enjoy them later, once you are in your Piscasso blue period.

Love the voice and attitude on life. You could do a video about watching paint dry and I would watch.

The cost processed shots looked goodly.

i didn't expect my thursday to be blessed by daddy jason

hey! they look cool. well some of them and a few of those few are real cool. in all seriousness, i think some of shots are really interesting and fit the desolate landscape perfectly.

Well, it's a shame I've only got two rolls of Retrochrome... But in good news! I found a three pack of old Fujicolor 200 for a reasonable price today! I think this was just after they stopped using a fourth color layer but before it was discontinued and then returned as Fuji "Gold" 200. I'm excited to shoot some on some green days, and since it expires 09-2024, I've got plenty of time. Look at that! I made it through this whole comment without mentioning my excitement for Fugugfilm 400 once!

i like the cross processed pics!

Love this! I am curious to know how you color graded the look in your video? I would love to recreate it.

I like them man, that low contrast goes a long way towards that painting aesthetic

Comin' straight off the NBC high!

I always buy whatevergrafy imax project kv3 500t for my pentax 67.. always very good and very special/cinematographic results. Eterna 35mm is also very good

hes back

Intriguing! Would love to see how you catalog and store your negs and digital work some time. Especially as your output rate is probably a lot higher than many of us… or is it all just thrown into a room of chaos?

YES

Yo new grainydays

That bottle of Mountain Dew just looming in the back honestly filled me with an unpleasant amount of anxiety

I feel like the post rock community for a new source for album cover art.

Started hoarding retrochrome earlier this year. I have a safe stock. Too bad it'll be gone forever

Hate the film, love Jason. Still always happy to see a video from you.

"Can we fix that ATTITUDE in post?"

Well, I liked the results. Also, I am a new subscriber... Instant like bro! Finally a photographer without the RU-vid fake bullshit. Keep at it man.

How do you do that "zoom in" effect on your photo at the end of the video??

thank god i have 20 rolls of it still. I dont wanna say which shop has it now cause its gonna jack the prices up haha.

Heya! I love the way all the scenes in the desert look. Could I please ask if this was done using a filter or in post or how did you achieve this soft glow effect?

kodak's got to brink aerohrome back, Jason's bout to get a heart attack

I don't know ... I don't know what you love so much about retro chrome in the first place to be honest. But I hope there's some more coming your way.

This being motion picture film, wouldn't you also need some sort of print film / print film emulation to get the final image?

my local store has a few 35mm i might have to scoop up the rest

nice

Nice

LET'S GOOOOOOOO

yo Jason, when we gonna see that nikonf2 with leica glass??? very interested!!

how do you always manage to load in sunlight?

Have to say the 2 rolls of 35mm I managed to shoot a while ago are by far the most beautiful photos I’ve ever shot, I’m not sure anything comes close to punchy, sharp slides with a colour shift 🤷🏼‍♂️

this is not a film related but could you share your colour grading process for your videos? I’m into video but have a biggg love for your colour.

which analog medium format camera would you recommend to a beginner. i find analog photography interesting. but i don't want to invest a lot of money yet.

Hey, for that last roll, try processing it black and white??? Works for Kodachrome, which I still have and get good results from. Worth some processing acrobatics for a roll thats worse than Baxters’ lawn ornaments…skol

And just like that retrochrome sold out everywhere lol

Can you please fix the other three boxes of Ektachrome sitting behind you so that they're all sideways in advance? thank you.

personally I like the colours. Do you think dropping the ISO would have had an effect to the colours?

Babe wake up grainydays posted

I'd love to have a Digi Prime as a paperweight...

My dude would load film on the surface of the sun if he could

Is that a Zeiss Zoom Cine Lens in the back that I see 👀

Bro what’s up with the Cine lens in the background?!

I liked the pictures; they remind me of watercolours.

Every so often I see a new video from Jason on the feed and for a brief, grainy moment, I forget the sharp, eternal pain of existing

It’s the church from Kill Bill! 7:05

I knew I’ve seen you on Grindr.

BROOO minute 7:03!!! It's the Kill Bill church yooooo!!!

The colours do look nice, even if it’s not Retrochrome

Woo

does anyone know what video camera he was using to film this? Think it looked really pretty

Yo what backpack is that?

Maybe I should start with downing Flamin Hot MD on daily basis to get videos every two days 🤔I really wait for their arrival like my insecure inner photographer is craving for every like in Insta.

NIce 👍👍

this is my coping mechanism to stress

Damn, don't make it hot bro! This is my secret stash!

"Can we fix that attitude in post?"

Hey’ I’m 35th!! YES!!!!!

4:3 ratio chad with based color grading

Is that the guy from NBC news?

which camera did you use to shoot this video

Shot that last year and didn't like it... but of course I had it developed in E6... C-41 looks kinda good.

We need Kodak Aerochrome, #Fujifilm Pro400H or Superia 400 medium Format im patiently waiting for #Fujifilmjapan to make a Superia 400 for medium format...

oh no, i missed that its gone out of stock and i've only one roll left :(

What the hell is that Supreme Prime doing on your desk?

Judging by previous videos, I'd say you found your "look" with this film. It may not come with a free bowl of soup, but it looks good on you, though.

I have several rolls of Ektachrome from 10-15 years ago. Do people really pay that much for expired film?

Grindr?

Isn't Rollei Crossbird the same as Retrochrome in 120?

Personally I like the shots.

I'm bummed it wasn't the same as the OG Retrochrome but some of the shots came out ok. I'm also saddened that all all sites that carried Retrochrome are out of stock, guess I'll be hoarding my last few rolls.
