6 months ago, some friends and I took a 10 day road trip across the American west. We went through the Tetons, then Yellowstone and finally up to Glacier National Park. It was one of the most memorable trips of my life. Both Wyoming and Montana have always held a special place in my heart. The truly are incredible places of sheer beauty and wild splendor. I hope this film gives you a piece of what the American west feels like.

This was not just a travel film, This was a piece of art
Wow thank you so much!
Extremely impressive, it honestly brought the immersion of being filmed at least a couple decades ago until I saw the 6 feet apart sign at the very end.
Thank you!! I appreciate it. And lol true
Stunningly beautiful! There is still no substitute for real film and a skilled cinematographer. Your Bolex is of course Super 16 modded. What a great format!
Thank you so much! I agree there is nothing like film.
There really is some indefinable quality of grain and light to film that makes my heart ache. It is almost like looking at the world I grew up in transplanted into an alternate present where history went differently and film remained a high art and a ghostly record of a very different and more human place.
I feel that. Film to me will always have a transporting quality, where as digital feels too close to reality. Not to mention that film will always capture colors more accurately because of it being a chemical process so there’s something to True tones instead of manufactured ones. Just my thoughts. It’s definitely my favorite art medium.
Wow what an amazing little film! Everything is great: the compositions, the content, the sound and the music. It give the video a great and powerful mood.
You really created a masterpiece!
Keep up with your work, it's quite impressive! :)
Wow thank you so much!! I will!
Awesome. FILM ROCKS!
YES! Agreed.
the colours are absolutely stunning
Thank you!!
On my knees. I feel jealous of this astonishing and peaceful nature footage. Beautiful North America.
Wow thank you! North America is insanely beautiful. Blessed to live here
Amazed at this footage, It is so beautiful I can't believe it. Just bought a 16mm and hope I can produce the same feelings in my shots. Great work man !
Thank you! It was such a joy to create. What 16mm did you purchase?
@@taylorwerfelmann I bought the krasnogorsk3 for quite cheap. I fell like its a good started for now as I have no experience with motion picture. You got an insta for your work btw ?
@@kingjulian2132 that’s sick! Ya from what I’ve heard and seen those are awesome! Ya my insta is @taylorwerfelmann
Captured the west very beautifully, well done
Thank you man!!
this is beautiful
Wow!
Wow che bello 👏
That first landscape shot is insane! I mean the whole video is great but damn! Do you remember what lens you used on that?
Thanks man! Ya I believe it was a 16mm or 24mm
Holy cow. So good man.
Haha thank you so much! Means a lot!
What makes this great is that you didn't wave the camera around. Good work.
Haha. Something about a steady shot with atmospheric sounds just hits right.
@@taylorwerfelmann Also, I used live out there, sigh.
0:11 Hoooo leeeee what a shot.
Haha thanks Etienne!
This is so awesome.
Some of these shots are utterly breathtaking! They feel unreal almost like you’re looking at a painting.
Wow, thank you!

Awesome video man, and thank you for sharing it! :) God bless!
God bless! My pleasure!!
this video is a hidden gem, awesome work, loved it
thank you! That means a lot
Viewing this from Ireland (which has many beautiful places) but there's a majesty and bigger scale to the landscapes in states like Wyoming and Montana - and you make a great case for film - and not to overlook that it's the person behind the camera - "watching out for the light" - that's all important - well done !!
Thanks so much! I agree I’ve also been to Ireland years ago. There’s just some sort of charm the west brings with its huge landscapes and hometown culture. Film was a no brainer for this project because it needed a timeless feel to it! Thanks for the support.
Stunning pictures, every frame is perfect 👌🏻
Thank you! I really appreciate the love!
This looks amazing and beautiful! Love it!
Thanks Hans!
I am at loss of words... This is very beautiful sir, thank you for sharing this experience with the rest of us :)
Wow thank you! It’s my pleasure to share!
$12 worth of your feet walking...I'm just giving you a hard time. Nice work this looks great!
this is truly beautifully made!
Great motion picture , what camera 🎥 you shot on this video. ..?
so beautiful, how did you record the sound without getting the camera noise?
What type of camera? Absolutely beautiful
Bolex h16. Thanks!!
Absolute beauty. As a native Montanan, this brings me great joy!
Ahh thanks man! I actually just recently moved to Kalispell. Couldn’t resist this beautiful place.
@@taylorwerfelmann Heck yeah man! I come to Kalispell pretty often for documentary work. Always bored not knowing anyone out there lol
Insanely good
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
So good nman
Thanks Ryan!!
super 16 ? thanks, beautiful
Yes!
Beautiful and wonderful sound design. What stock did you shoot this on?
Thank you! 250D and 500T
@@taylorwerfelmann Awesome. Did you use any filters for the 500T or just color correct afterwards? Did you overexpose your shots at all?
What's the name of the music I love it
Is that shot on super 16mm?
What kind of lenses did you use?
God is so good! You are so very talented !
Amen! And ahh you are too kind ❤️ glory to Jesus!
of course no dislikes, i mean who wouldn't like this ?
Haha thank you man! I so appreciate that!
time traveling in 80s
Hi ther! Great video.. Just wondering what you used to record sound and us this a reflex or non reflex camera..thanks..
Thanks! I bought sounds for it, and yes reflex!
What settings did you use?
You captured the energy of these landscapes with such beauty. I just got a h16 and was wondering were developed your film? Cheers!
Thanks so much! Wow lucky! Spectra film in LA!
This was amazing. Really loved this! Could you please tell me the name of the lake at 0:22? Seems like an incredible place. Thanks!
Hey thank you!! It’s called McDonald lake in Glacier national park :)
Stunning. A dream. How much did it cost to buy the film and develop it?
I think it was around $800 but I can’t fully remember
The Bolex really has a nice image. It's a pity for the red flashes that look like light leaks from the sides. Magazine sealing problem?
It really does. And I’m not sure sure. All the images on the 500t had that but it was the last roll I shot on the trip so 🤷🏼♂️
Beautiful film. Some of those mountain shots look like Remington paintings.
Thank you! 16mm film takes the cake!
Amazing! I just bought a Russian K3 and can’t wait to go on a trip. What film stock did you use and where’d you get it processed and scanned?
Heck ya! I used Kodak 250D and 500T for the night stuff. I got it scanned at spectra film in LA.
"All glory to God"
Amazing!
Looks like technicolor from the 50s! What film did you use?
Haha thanks man! Kodak 250D and 500T for night stuff
I absolutely love this! excellent work! What film stock did you use?
Thanks Luke! Kodak 250D and 500T
What is the red undulation appearing on the right side of the frame? Is it light leaking into the camera?
Ya idk what happened, I think when I removed that spool it got a little exposed to light!
What's your film stock and film lab?
Kodak 250D and 500T and Spectra Fill Lab in LA
Muy bueno !
I really love this project, what was the name of the celluloid?
Thank you Andrey! I used Kodak 250D and 500T
@@taylorwerfelmann 🙏🏽
waw
Why is the footage so shaky? Did you add it in post? Great video anyways.
Lol it’s handheld
Beautiful footage, did you use noise reduction? The grain is so fine.
Thank you! No I did not actually.
Where did you get your camera? Can you do a little background on it :)
I actually just rented it for two weeks. It was a Bolex h16 converted to s16. Check out brae hunziker, he has a great tutorial on UA-cam for shooting 16mm
Absolutely incredible. What did you use for light metering?
Thank you!! Sekonic L-308x!
@@taylorwerfelmann nice! That’s what I have too. Any tips for metering / lighting for my first roll of film through my new h16? Do you just set the iso to match the films and meter normally like for 35mm?
@@HunterSkowronPDXsweet! Ya I do. I basically try to meter for the mid tones if that helps. That light meter especially can be tough to use because it’s not a spot meter. I take a lot of time and care to find the mid-tone and meter for that. Or try metering different light in the scene and then shoot it somewhere in the middle depending on what you’re looking for. I’m always overexposing when in doubt. Easier to save in post.
what film roll did you use? and btw this is amazing especially the night scenes omg
Thank you!! Kodak 250D and 500T
that was beautiful. Makes me want to grab my K-3 and get out
Do it! Wish I had one sitting around haha
I love ektachrome especially on greens it always gets the best greens out of any filmstock, colors pop and are really vibrant and nice. I also love neon on signs or colors on signs on ektachrome they pop out and jump out at you.
damn this feels so nostalgic
窒息一样的美，美哭了，呜呜呜
why is 16mm film so beautiful?
One of the great mysteries of a filmmakers life. 😂
How are you people so talented ❤❤
Haha thank you!
Just wow. What do you use to color grade?
Thanks Kami! I used premiere and my good friends “wedding lut” that he sells on his site called lutcompany.com highlyyy recommend it. I use the lut as a base for every project.
Beautiful footage. Ive been messing with my Bolex more lately, random question! Are you loading your film in complete darkness?
Thanks Dennis! Ya I played it safe and did in total darkness. But if you are having light leaks it could be a million different things. A lot of those cameras leak out of the cover of the film holder. Lot of guys tape up ever edge. I didn’t do that but obviously the one I used leaked with the final night footage so 🤷🏼♂️ I always go with better safe then sorry.
Loved this, beautiful compositions!
Thank you!
this is just beautiful!
Сделано превосходно! Отличный фильм
Was this all shot on film?
Yes sir
I suggest scanning at a very high digital resolution, like 5k, and uploading it at frame doubled 1440p (48fps) if you want the film "texture" to be appreciable despite youtube's compression.
Interesting! Would definitely like to rescan at 4K cause this was lower res but it would take a ton of time or money that I don’t have haha
16mm film produces the most beautiful images I've ever seen. My dreams are in 16mm. If I could buy a pair of glasses that like, filtered my vision so that everything looked like 16mm, the only way they're coming off is when you peel them from my corpse.
Yes. Yes to all of this.
Very nice!
Thank you!
This is beautiful :)
Thanks man!! Love the west
Really enjoyed this! Which film stock(s) did you use?
Thanks! Kodak 250D and 500T
Looks amazing! What film stock did you use?
Thank you! Kodak 250D and 500T
Hi Taylor, thanks for sharing these incredible places with us, you have chosen amazing lights too. May I ask you which film did you use it for? About lenses... maybe Switar Rx lenses? Thanks a lot, Francesco from Italy
Hey Francesco! I appreciate that! I’m glad to share it! I used Kodak 250D and 500T for the nighttime stuff. I forget the lenses. It was a rental camera!
WOW. I'm from New Zealand and I'm heading over to the west of the US to travel next year. This film makes me sooo excited you have no idea
Heck ya!! Glad it made you excited! Enjoy your travels!
what is song?
This one's awesome 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Digital will NEVER look this good.
It is so amazing!!! How did You record the sound? But not with a ReeltoReel Tape Recorder?!?
Best regards from Germany
Thank you!! I actually found the sound online! I did all the mixing etc. and thanks Germany! Always wanted to go there!
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks man!
This is so well done! The visuals are incredible and the atmosphere you created with the sound design is so immersive
Thank you Matt!! Hoping to make another film like this one soon!
So many feels in this video! Excellent work👊🏼 Much love from East Tennessee🙏🏼
Aye! Thank you Garret!
My girlfriend is a pro videographer/photographer and wants to start using film. She sent me this video and we’re inspired by the authenticity and personal touch that goes into film. We also want to see Utah and Wyoming like this. Thanks for posting
Yes! So glad I could inspire. Shooting film has forever changed my view of the medium. It’s an incredible experience! Get out there and do it!
Just came across this jewel, wonderful work man.
Thank you Grey!
Wow ,I love the videos that’s have a relaxing song and nice view and a vantage camera ,love u man
Same here man!! I so appreciate the love!
Amazing work, would you mind listing what lenses you used please? Cheers!
Hey man. Honestly the camera was a rental so I don’t remember everything. All I remember was a 24mm and an 16mm I believe!
so beautiful
Great shots and sound. Great feel. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!!
Also how did you get audio was it overlaid with music bed stuff? or did you record digitally on the side?
Ya! So I used music bed for the actual soundtrack and then the audio of the Forrest etc came from a sound effect licensing library. I forget the name!
This is beautiful
This is one of the most underrated video on UA-cam.
Wow thank u so much!!
@@taylorwerfelmann No, thank you. The video is absolutely stunning.
@@jonesbbq307 well I appreciate that. Hoping to make more videos like this in the future
