Walking while photographing is the best way to make pictures. Senses are sharper, thoughts clearer, feelings deeper, dreams are better. And really lovely work, too.
Haven't shot it myself yet. Haven't watched this video yet. But yes, It IS worth it. Anything to support new film stocks and those who continue to produce them!!
"I have not tried this product but yes it is really good"... that's not how it works?
@@elliotw.888 they're saying it's worth it even just to support new color film technologies, regardless of how good the film is.
But it's not new stock. You aren't supporting anything other than their business of taking already existing products and upping the price. They are nothing but a middle-man. If you want to support the film industry, you should see if any local stores are re-spooling and developing ECN-2 process Kodak 250D (what this film is)
@@autumnkeys Exactly.
@@SAGGING_GUT It's new in that they are creating something readily available for people to shoot.
Oh yes, that "local" shop would respools ECN-2 process Kodak 250D, that doesn't exist or cost way more. It's about making film stock more accessible to everyone, while offering something different. You can argue the semantics of "new" or "different" all you want, but you miss the bigger picture.
I have been using long weekend film pouch, and it's been working great. I always used plastic zip bag and threw it away, but now I do not have to use plastic anymore! the pouch is so much better than those film cases! I love the material and partition in the bag.
I like the color scheme of this new film stock, it has those classic halations, but a lot more subtle, which I like. Also I got my copy of ‘From the Sunny Side of the Street’ this week and I’m enjoying it a lot!
Just a heads up, if you like those subtle halations, Tilden has made an offshoot of their diffusion filters called GlitterGlass that is spot on at strength level 1. Not that you asked lol
@@W_WittmannPhoto do you mean Tiffen and not Tilden? Also, pretty sure it is glimmer glass and not Glitter Glass? if you provide info, please ,make sure it is at least accurate
You make me rethink the way I see the environment in which I live. I've gone to San Pedro and the Korean Friendship bell on multiple occasions and have never seen it the way I just saw in your images. This is a big eye opener.
Great video dude! I am soooo excited to get the two rolls I ordered and test them out when I go to Chicago
Willem is definitely in his flower photography phase😂... The "portal" one is my fav out of the lot👍
The video person really makes your work stronger , I love the eye of the video person it’s really strong composition
Spanking job! I'm so glad I've backed this project and can't wait to receive the rolls.
Such a pretty film stock! Huge of of this, thanks Willem!
I’m a big fan of 50D, can’t wait to try this one
Love how much beauty you find in monotony, or everyday scenes. I find it so hard to convince myself to shoot a picture on film, but you inspire me to do the opposite thank you.
OH YEEAAAHHHH!!! NEW WILLEM VIDEO 😩🕺✨
Such an amazing film! Thanks for the video!
Can't wait to get mine! Looks like a fun summer film. Love the vid and the photos, as usual~ it's funny seeing peacocks just roaming around freely in the neighbourhood 😂
I still haven't tried Cinestill, but I love the colors and halation! Definitely going to buy some soon!
Love these! Can’t wait to get my rolls
I think I need to get couple rolls and try that one. Thanks for sharing your images and thoughts on 400D. I was surprised to see that you were shooing in my neighborhood. I walk those streets every day.
Perfect as always!
Great video as always!
I kept wondering if you had Jake’s Leica! So awesome to see him in this 👏
Always nice watching your videos.
Willem at it again 🔥🔥🔥
It's most certainly another modified film of Kodak. They probably get the film delivered without the remjet now - translated into "not a repackaged motion picture film". It looks very similar to the Kodak Vision3 250D. Which can be had for $5 if you look around. Beats Portra all the way
I mean they might pretty much get all their film that way now. They have had their own edge markings done by Kodak for a while, so it would be strange if that would not go in hand with Kodak just omitting the remjet application as well.
Willem mentions in the video it's not Kodak Vision3 250D, and I'd have to agree. It doesn't look like 250D colors that I've seen.
Hard disagree on it beating Portra.
It’s not a Kodak film. Nor is it close to Portra.
I agree, even if the look is not that similar, behaves like a 250D. Knowing that EVERY (maybe almost) Cinestill item is a rebranded product from another company, I don’t have doubts that is Kodak
I have a fun idea: dslr or mirrorless scanning has become a very popular alternative to scanning film, so, what if you take a photo of another photo with film? Like, you scan a negative with your slr.. I mean, negative with negative=positive right? It would be interesting to see what that would look like, though its probably just a waste of money
Someone is already doing that kind of experiments, it's called Attic Darkroom
That's pretty much what they do for motion picture film in 35mm and 65mm
I’m not sure if you mean duplicating a digital image (some form of light box display?) or film on film. If the latter some of us have been doing that for decades! Either to have back ups before the digital age (I used to send duplicates to the Image Libraries that I sold to:through way back when) , to increase contrast and saturation and to change tonality etc by copying, say Ektachrome onto Velvia.
@@kronkite1530 didn't know that
@@fliprider562 don't they scan the filme then color grade it and then trasnform it back to film?
Good that I've backed this stuff
The shot at 2:29 is beautiful. Thanks for the nice video review!
Willem improving my monday
I haven't got mine yet but looks so nice! even the day time halation look good! thanks for the video!
Nice one, really interesting stock and photos. I think the halation's add character but as you mentioned might not be something id shoot all the time.
I was hoping you'd make your way to the Friendship Bell at some point since you moved out! The new stock looks like a trip, the colors pop in a really interesting way.
Dude, you are walking around. With a film camera. Like it's 1978. I like it.
I like it, picasso
I really can’t get over the fact that the light is always so beautiful around where you live. Can someone tell me if it’s always this way or does he show only good days 😂😂
9:59 WOW the red halation is so pronounced here! 😍
Yoooo every pic was amazing but that freakin flash photo in the car was nutssss🤯
San Pedro!!! Love photographing that area!
I mean your editing is first class so it hard to tell for me if this film is so special. The results are amazing I think anyhow. So it should not be a bad choice.
I barely did any editing! Just slight contrast adjustments.
Very Nice video will ! this film is sooo cool 👌 good job 👍
That halation is nuts. Reminds me for sure of shooting Kodak 250d for sure!
I naturally assumed this was 250D with the remjet removed. The higher ISO rating would be consistent with 800T, which is 500T. It does vaguely have a look of 250D.... did you have to cancel cyan out of the shadows when scanning? Nice film regardless.
i let out an audible "oooooo!" in the middle of my lecture when i saw the shot at 3:30 sheeeesh.
The complete change of mood here 😂 5:40
Look at Willem getting that fade. LA is rubbing off on him now 😂👍🏽
Color palette almost reminds me of the old school Eastmancolor motion picture stock. Might have to try this out.
Awesome video! But what’s even more awesome is the CRV having the spare cover! Hahaha hard to find
Id on the shoulderbag please. Really nice one!
You were in my neighborhood! Visit Rancho Palos Verdes next time! The Glass Chapel is beautiful and photogenic and Abalone Cove is beautiful during sunset :)
This looks like my ideal film. Can't wait to get a roll and try it out! Sweet shots & video 😎
It’s to flat. Like ungraded video.
Wow, I’m shocked how warm this is
Cinstill 400D. The "D" stand for fruity :D
Rocking the Sling Blade haircut 👍 get ya some French fried potaters
Oh~beautiful film!!!
So you ran into my old coworker Mike, in San Pedro. Did he tell you he was a photographer? I can totally see him yelling jokes at you. When we were out shooting jobs, people would ask us to take their photo. He would always reply: " Sorry, I didn't bring my ugly filter."
Good that you and some young folks are shooting film still. Personally, after all these years, I love digital. Having worked in color labs processing and color correcting a variety of films, the look of the film you tried is like nails on a blackboard - I spent too much time trying to correct issues with off brand film. As you said, the look is neat, but not on everything. Keep up experimenting! That's the fun part.
Aww...friendship at the Korean friendship bell. 🤗🔔📸
I wasnt able to get 400D looking for a 400H alternative and this popped out nice video~ unfortunately its 15$ which is quite expensive derpy
"its something when you see it" ooooh! That is quote of the day
I love the look of it
This video is gonna be a BANGER I can already tell! Picked up the Santa Fe shoulder bag and I am STOKED, sadly won't be in before my trip to SF but still just as excited
sharp cut 🤝 sharp pics 🔥
I recently purchased a roll of Amber 400D which I assume is the same thing as Cinestill 400D. If it is, then I’m definitely looking forward to shooting it
Thanks for the detailed review and cool frames! On a totally unrelated question, where did you get your sweet bag/satchel from??
Willem, man, the Leica suits you well!!!! I think it’s time you swoop one for yourself!
I 've shot with 50D before. Hate that halation with daylight film. Tungsten film looks okay with it. For the price, I 'd rather shoot with Vision 3 or Silbersalz 250D.
the big downside of theses stocks is the ecn2 process .
@@twuuwttwu use c41 if you like. i prefer it on the movie film.
Tobacco is a perfect word to describe the colors. I think they should put that on the box.
do you always take more images from the exact same angel/of the same exact object?
San Pedro my home town I miss it I been meaning to go back and take shots too
Interesting as usual. At 4:49, they have painted the house.. 😁
It isn't 250D with the remjet removed, but it is 250D without remjet. They've gotten big enough to pay Kodak to deliver the film to them without applying the remjet at all. Hence the ambigous language on the website. Still 250D though :-) Which is good, cause it's a really nice film!
Hopefully it will also result in better quality film with less scratches and such.
All that I’m allowed to say is that is incorrect ;)
Makes me want to try 250D *with* remjet. Not a fan of these highlights
@@WillemVerb Now that's intriguing!🤔
@@mynewcolour If you can deal with the remjet, it's a wonderful film. Tons of latitude and punchy colours. Kinda like a cross between Ektar and Portra. I like it a lot!
@@WillemVerb Really happy to hear that. I am still sort of upset this has halations. I think it's a misstep. Halations are a defect, and 400D is supposed to be a professional film. Its especially disappointing because CineStill says, "400D is specifically designed for still photography." Still photography film has antihalation layers built in that clear in bleach. To be clear, I love 50D and 800T, but Halations are not something I always want.
Damn,,, can't believe you were in my neighborhood and I didn't know! San Pedro has some crazy good views, right!? Hope to run into you some day.
It reminds me a lot of the vision3 250D processed in c41 and a roll of eterna 250D I've shot on 16mm. That hearthy look not too easy to correct on a digital process, that still could be appealing to a lot of people and could suit a lot different lighting condition. It's all personal. I would be curious to shoot it at night
I don't know what time you wake up in the morning, but if you get up early and go to take pictures on this film, you will see that the morning light will change its color palette.
Good tip
Since I am an adaptive photographer, I do photo rolls in my wheelchair. And yes, my Canon L1 goes along for the ride. And it's Canon (Leica Screw Mount) 50 mm/f2.8 lens.
this looks like gold with halations.
will you test the medium format version of this film stock when it comes out?
2 Leica-featured vids in a row, prepare yourselves, Willem is about to get a Leica and eBay is gonna get crazy by the end of the year.
I just got a roll of this film, and I want to get some background on it before I shoot it.
Great video
I’ve been on 2/4 of the ships of the same class as the one you got a photo of.
When are bags restocking !!? I ordered mine ages ago not knowing they’re on back order ); I also got a strap that I’m dying to throw on my camera
that difference at 4:49 is crazyyy
Hmm, what if this is Ultramax 400 on a vision 3 base? Looking forward to getting mine and trying it out!
This video took me at least a half hour to watch, I kept stopping playback on each photograph just to look at this place and your beautiful compositions. This is my favorite style of photography right now. What do you call it? Street landscape? I love it. The color pallet of this film seems to really vibe with the very unique and warm light that we have anywhere in California near our coast. It also reminds me of very faded Kodachrome slides my Dad took, probably when he was around your age. But for me, this one is all about the photos that you’ve made in the end.✌️
Hi, love the video! One question, do you use flash in some on these photos?
I live in this town and didn’t know you were here until the day after 😐
Yay Vision3 250D with dodger colors
Fresh Leica + fresh cut
By the way...since your Bessa is in the shop, are there any camera repair places in LA you'd recommend?
Fresh haircut bro, fresh as your pics 🧊
WoW, thank you. I’ve never shoot this film before. I’m just curious, what lens did you use in this video?
Long time listener, first time caller.. would love to see a review on the new lumix g8 300x zoom lens ;)
LMAOOO
Duude 11:26 whaat?!! That's pure perfection, love it
I think your buddy who you spotted was behind you in the shot before! You pass someone taking pics in the background
When are they dropping more of this film I need it 😩
Reminds me of somewhere between Gold 200 and Ultramax 400
I love 250D,500T….Kodak vision 3
Definitely looks like Kodak Vision3 250D. Less green tint than Cinestill 50D IMO.
Exposure is bang on. Did you eyeball it or does the MP have a built in meter?
MP has a built in meter.
@@MLUdrea ain’t true
@@JulianWildner MP has a meter, M-A is the model which doesn’t
@@slothsarecool M4-P neither
@@hollywoodheiner6028 this
Why didn't you take a portrait of that dude!!
Cinestill got the vibes
Has someone made darkroom prints with this stock? What's the magenta and yellow filter settings you are working from? I am asking because the film base looks of a completely different color than that of Kodak stocks. Thanks in advance!
Man Connecticut looks so beautiful in this video
