What was your favorite cost-saving tip?! Will you be shooting less Kodak film going forward?
Great tips. Thanks for the shoutout Steven! :)
Thanks so much Kyle!! Anytime man :)
Steven - this thumbnail is perfect. A comment I've never made, until I saw this one.
Joe!! Thank you so much man, I was really proud of this one. Appreciate you saying that! 🙏
oooooo thumbnail Steven, very nice
Thank you so much!!! ❤️
Thumbnail goes hard!!
Couldn’t have done it without your help!!! ❤️
This is why there's a massive need for new 3rd parties to join in at reasonable prices
100% agree, Johnny! Would love to see this become a reality, and soon!
my lecturers recommend buying bulk rolls too if you have the time/inclination to load your own cassettes
This is a great idea! We used to do this at our studio a little bit, but ultimately stopped because of time constraints. It’s an excellent learning experience and money saver!
This was heartening! With all that has happened to families, especially since 2020, it brings joy to see what just two people, from a tiny village could create.
The Blums are awesome... and not only because I know some... though the ones I know are awesome.
Hey, great video, btw. Bravissimo!
I think another avenue is to just use digital and emulate the look of film for some people. I use an X100V, the combo of manual controls and OVF, with a Kodak Gold preset and the results are honestly very similar to my film experience/scans. There are also LR film presets u can buy online if u don’t shoot Fuji. I went to Japan recently and Kodak was about twice as expensive than the US! At that point, I’d probably give up film altogether, sadly
love your videos bro, keep up the good work!
Thank you so much, Melad!!!
thumbnail and my wallet are calling me out
hahahaha!!
If you're shooting and developing so much, making your own lab worth to consider. Find a room in a club and install film processor
Totally! For the right person, I think that could be a viable solution. If we had the space, we'd definitely consider it. Thanks for watching!
All valid and great tips! Would you mind sharing the lab you use? I'm also in Chicago and just had USPS loose 2 rolls of film I had sent off to a lab. I'm so bummed because those 2 rolls had family memories, and some street photography I was really excited to get back. I would now rather drive these rolls over to a lab myself than have this happen again.
Aw man, I’m so sorry that happened to you, Lu! That’s a huge bummer :( I agree, it feels a lot more secure to drop it off and pick it up yourself. The film lab we use in Chicago is called CSW! Hit me up on IG if you wanna chat more about it!!
It is too bad film cost have gone where they are because I loved shooting film starting in the 50s to early 2000.
film in Europe (london to be specific) is way cheaper to develop and there are a ton of pro labs there. I have been shooting for years, including my time at university on my photography degree and spent a large amount of that time in the dark developing all my own film. I cant stomach the idea of doing it now. It literally gives me bad chills just thinking about developing 20 to 30 rolls a week. I would rather be out shooting, in the studio or developing ideas rather than turning a tank. But when you first start off, its a great way to understand what you are doing. It also helps when you send it to a lab and need something specific for them to develop your film at. I have to say though that developing film in the usa is so expensive. I never got charged to cut a film until i got to the usa. It was a real shock. But i guess thats the market.
