The expired film does not just shift the colors or makes funky tones. Once it becomes quite old, it can fail completely, leaves you nothing but with an empty frame. This risk is especially real with the rolls of the 1940s and 50s, where the material itself may have been broken beyond already. Using with this type of film can be attractive, though.
Coming from you Mathyu sternThis unusual video watches when you try to shoot with a film ending about 80 years ago. Kodak Super XX’s stern -loaded rolls and rare colors in a canon F -1, the lowest possible ISO compensate them for age by rating them. The roll was then developed by hand by Christoff, a technician from France. The colorful film which was old was not left at all, as the entire rolls were empty. Even Black and White Stock was also lost in the first time since 1946. After all efforts, the disappointment of not seeing anything is something that can be related to someone shooting.
The twist came when Stern decided to resume allegedly ruined negatives using a Veloy 45 millimeter setup with a macro lens. In that extra effort, images were found unconscious, ghost -like images. They were not strong or clean, but they proved that the film had captured Prakash. The images were accompanied by strange dots – entry that Gelatin Base started disintegrating himself for decades. This expansion shows how delicate the film is and why it creates a storage state or breaks its longevity. The experiment makes it clear that when the film is old, it is more gambling than a reliable process.
Another amazing insight in the video is that the film is not inactive. Photosensitive layers have been suspended in gelatin made of animal bones, which means it is literally biological. This has been true for more than a century, and it is still how the film is produced by Kodak, Fujifilm and Illford today. Gelatin is sensitive to heat, humidity and time, which is why the film is the only way to keep the film stable for decades. This is why rare pyas such as ENSO color film have disappeared from use, as it requires special processing that cannot be done today. The results of the stern run the house how unexpected it is to rely on the roll for decades of decades, but it is a very fun experiment. Watch the video above for full randon.
