Ok first of all: 1) Office looks like an amazing space 2) So proud of you for fitting all the film in that fridge 3) When you showed all the film in there I got high key stressed 😂 it looks like a game of 4D Tetris I am shaking!!!
Wow, things are really happening for you guys now. That's good to see. I'd use some boxes for the fridge - I use plastic boxes designed for food storage myself. Maybe one box for Lomography, one for B&W and one for your other color film and perhaps a box, that fits in the door. I'm hoping to have a photography work desk with room for my scanner, my A3 photo printer and a film fridge of my own underneath it in my spare bedroom soon-ish (a project for my summer vacation in August).
If you have film there you aren’t shooting in the next couple of months, it should go in the freezer. It should also all go inside air tight containers - if the fridge breaks or you have a power outage it will all be ruined. Removing the film cassettes from their plastic canisters is a very bad idea. You need an air right seal on them, as every time you open and close the fridge condensation is forming on the film. Ideally you should keep them inside the canisters, and then place those inside an air tight container with silica gel packets to make sure the ambient humidity is as low as possible.
Ha! I almost bought the same fridge on Friday for my re-imagined space. In the end I decided to claim a corner of the big freezer...I was this close. I love you new space - happy for ya.
I have about 15 rolls of 35mm sitting in my fridge right now - they all fit onto one little clear shelf in the door! For organisation, I'd recommend trying to find some clear containers (Make-up youtubers tend to use them to store their palettes and brushes) and some labels to mark what's in there. Or you could have a notebook to catalogue everything, and check it off as you use it. Or if you want something digital, make a google spreadsheet recording everything like type of film (negative, slide, b&w, etc), size, number of shots on a roll, ISO/ASA, expiry date..... Can you tell I like some stuff organised? XD
damn, that's a lot of film! I keep all my film in various sections in the fridge - just hoping this doesn't cause any chaos next year as a few people are moving out of our student accomodation home...
