The film came out well. It would have been nice to see some colour. Unfortunately unless you're lucky Ektachrome shifts towards magenta as it ages, or is stressed by heat. I liked this film a lot more than the last episode in this series.
@@orestes1984 Old Kodacolor 35 mm still negative films tends to do the same magenta shift when processed years passed the process recommendation. In the 90’s I worked at a Fox Photo 1 hour photo finisher and when we got older film we tried our best to color correct it by adding the green filter when printing the pictures with sometimes very decent results. 😅
@@kd1841 you can have some better luck these days with non-linear editing in either Photoshop or Premiere by playing around with the colour balance, and also the curves in the histogram. Filters are useful if you are going to print the non-linear way, but I wouldn't use them today if you intend to go digital. I do love old stories though... I've actually shot a lot of expired Ektachrome by now. I had a cartridge of 64T developed recently and it was probably only about 10 years old, it still came back magenta... I guess it's just something in the blue dye in the film that causes it to shift that way... You can kind of get it back to something like true colour usually, but it takes a lot of work. It's interesting you mention kodacolor actually. They still sell the old formula for Kodacolor VR 400 as Lomography 400. I like it a lot because it has wonderful browns and greens. It's one of my favorite stocks actually for a medium speed film.
If you still want to cut your own, I’m sure there’s somewhere closer, but Ashe & Alleghany counties in NC are huge on Christmas Tree farming, threw my back out unloading one I chopped down a couple Christmases back. Awesome footage and lots of unique times for Joey to (hopefully) see again soon.
Thanks, Steven!! Tree cutting can definitely be rough on the ole' back, I did a lot of clearing on my dad's property in the 80s, still feeling it today 🤣
Every time you post these successes I'm green with envy. I've never had success with a found Super 8 exposed film. Probably because I did them via the "spaghetti method." Maybe too much agitation? Back about 15 years ago I did succeed with a couple rolls of double 8 but I've forgotten how I did it. I know I used a Caffenol concoction of some sort. Anyway, another great job!
Nice results in my opinion! Thanks to these found films of yours I’m starting to care about Joey now. Is he wildly successful? Is he taking home movies of his family like his dad did? I gotta know!
I've done that before, definitely an interesting look. The problem is, this particular film is the older Ektachrome 160 and the hot temps will melt the emulsion off (unless you use low temp ECN-2). If you use the "newer" Ektachrome 160, which is basically anything manufactured after 1982, then the emulsion didn't require a pre-hardner and is pretty safe for the hot E6 and ECN-2 temperatures.
Thanks, Pop!! That sound is the camera noise from the original person filming. The microphones were so close to the cameras that they often picked up the camera noise.
Not a weird question at all, but a good one. Yes, there have been people that have used beer as part of a developing agent for B&W film; however, there is typically always other ingredients that need to be added as well. Just like when using Caffenol (coffee), you must also add Vitamin C and Sodium Carbonate.
I found your post first this week Mike. I sent you an email about a person that may be related to the last film you uploaded also. It seems like Joey plays guitar better than Chales Manson at least. Not that, that is hard. Sorry, but you're just going to have to get used to my black humor.
hahahah one of my new favorite openings. Wo! Congrats on #50
😂😂 Thanks, Lyle!!
Great results 👍
Thank you!!
Good morning Mike!!! ☕🍳 I think the film looks and sounds great. Thanks ☺️

@@kd1841 yes I can confirm. I shot some 90s Eastman EXR 16mm color neg back in 2016. Needed some green to counter the magenta shift.
Good morning, KD!! ☕☀

Wow, that camera mic on that old film picked up really good audio!
I'm honestly surprised every single time I process one of these sound films. Crazy how well the audio held up!!

My favorite way to develop this old Ektachrome 160 is as a color negative using ECN-2 chemistry, maybe you could give it a try in a future video

Liked #50 Miguel what sounded like a helicopter in the background.? Local mission guy will watch for film for you. Yes Sunday we will be watching..

Great stuff! The guitar chords still need(ed) some work😂. Looking and sounding good after all these years hibernating.
I figured you'd like that jam session, Christian!! 🤣 Thanks!!
How do you adapt the development process to get these results for aged film with old latent image or do you just follow the standard process?
I've tested quite a few developers, times and temperatures with old Ektachrome 160 and kind of just settled in to what worked best for me.
Can you use this film on a canon 514xl? And not the XL-S?
Unfortunately, no, this film has to be used in cameras with the sound head in place. The 514XL does not have one, it's for silent only.
I have a weird question. On the interwebs I've come across a few posts of people saying you can process B&W film using beer. Is this true?
Not a weird question at all, but a good one.
