[Is perfectionism holding you back? Yes, and I don't now how to overcome or cure perfectionism. So I made this film photography video to help. Making a change as an artist is hard. Blah blah I hope you enjoyed the video. Photos taken with my Minolta X-700 35mm Film Camera and my Olympus XA Point and Shoot Film Camera. Lots of Lomography 800 and Portra 400 & 800.]

    I would go as far as to say that certain film stock don't even have a signature look. If I would do a blind test, I think 95% couldn't identify cinestill 50d, 400d, portra 400, gold 200, colorplus 200, fuji c200 etc.

    You need to understand that different lab has different processing methods which result in different colors. If you want to see how it works with your workflow, you need to do your own camera scanning setup and using negative lab pro to have a consistant comparison between this and other films

    Yeah man, I feel like we could be friends IRL. I've had a similar journey. I work as a commercial director/dp and just got so sick of all the year, all the perfection, all the feedback on something being 1% not perfect enough. Then I tried shooting film photography and I fell in love. I get to shoot stuff that will never be perfect. There is no instant loop between post and production and I just have space to be a human enjoying my life around me. I take a shot and move on. My trip isn't about my photography. My photography is about my trip. If you know what I mean. I will never be popular with it and I really don't care. I just love looking at some of the snaps I've taken over the past 2 years. Film photography is almost like a therapy for artists in the digital age.

    Not the video I was expecting, but fun to watch. I was searching to see if anybody was crazy enough to literally convert a DSLR into a film camera. Because, in theory, I think it's possible. If you could remove the image sensor and added a way to store and advance the film, then all the exposure controls are there. I guess you could technically do it with a mirrorless camera to if it had a shutter certain.

    I shot one roll of 400D 35mm when it first came out and found the film to be overall unimpressive. It had its own unique look and colors were mostly accurate. However, I shot a series of sunset photos starting about 10 minutes before sunset. The sunset was unique in that all the colors were soft pastels--yellow, oranges and pink. Unfortunately the film rended these distinct colors as mostly green---pale pastel green. I just loaded my second roll of 400D. This time 120 film. Hoping for no big disappointments.

    I 100% feel this. Sometimes it is you getting in your own way, others it is trying to wear too many hats. You can be great at a few things or you can be okay at a lot of them. However sometimes it feels like you NEED to be great at everything and that's the frustration.

    The only 400D video that matters. This film is trash, especially for the price. When it hits, 2-3 shots per roll, it's awesome. Mostly is a color casted mess.

    So, most (if not all) "film" UA-camrs have no idea about the minutia of image processing (development, scanning, color negative conversion and color grading). Cinestill 400D is a cine film stock (Kodak Vision3 250D with remjet removed), meant to give highest consistency when handled, developed (ECN-2) and scanned correctly, having extremely low contrast to give the largest dynamic range possible (ever wondered how people like Quentin Tarantino and Christopher Nolan manage to get gorgeous results that exactly look the way the want it, using this exact film stock?) - which leads to "unusual" results if the process doesn't match the standards this film stock is made for (like inconsistent exposure, using the wrong chemicals, inconsistent scanning and inconsistent conversion)! For those who want consistent results with "normal" treatment - they should stick to C-41 stock (there at least the development is mostly correct, and those film stocks are meant for "everyday shooting"; getting inconsistent results is still very likely due to all the automatic changes in the conversion process, like NLP normally does). Or, for short: You can get any colors you want out of Kodak Vision3 250D if handled correctly - we amateurs just lack the consistency, tools, processes and practice to do so.

    Great photos and excellent video. I've only been shooting film for about 6 months but I find I use my digital camera to kind of "scout" shots and locations lol. Kind of like using the DSLR as the demo version of the album track film shot. I love how you said "Is that shot going to be any good? I don't know." lol I think that's what I like best about shooting film. After a while you just sort of get a feeling about things and if the shot will be any good. Subscribed to your channel.
