IP is releasing their generation of chemicals soon, which fully develop in less than 10 minutes. (Image visible after 2 minutes). With this also comes much better color and sharpness. It's still a little slower than Polaroid's chemistry, but it's really close. (Although I'm going off of the beta version so it might be faster in the final version) Here's a video by a french guy showing expired Polaroid, IP current, and IP beta film: ua-cam.com/video/6NS1uuSaeCs/v-deo.html
koekje00005 If we keep buying it, it might just get really close to Polaroid. Maybe it’ll become almost exact to Polaroid! That’d be wondering. They’ve been progressing, I think they will improve even more.
I did this work in the late 70's and through the 80's using the SX-70. Polaroid sent me boxes of film to experiment with. They bought some of my prints. I put some of my work in toasters, in the freezers, took lighters and used the heat to manipulate the works and used many tools to get the best results from the film. I have worked with this film today but I have not found the film to be as good as the original SX-70 film. I have done this technique with the other types of Polaroid film but it does not work as well as with the SX-70 film.
@stee1face @4:24 into the video? A plastic tipped press on type tool with a little pressure immediately after the image comes up. What that did was break up the image and squeeze some of the TiO2 up underneath the protective mylar sheet.
2 Stop not 2 steps of light. A step of light is either doubling or halfing the amount of light. it essentially reduces the amount of light that comes into the camera by the use of a dark filter its needed because sx70 film is 150 iso and 600 film is 600. Going down 2 steps from 600 iso to 150 is like this 600/2=300 300/2=150 I hope that was a good explanation, even though you waited 9 years lol
Do we know how well these methods work with the modern polaroid film from Polaroid B.V, and not the original Polaroid Corporation's chemistry which doesn't exist anymore? Of course TimeZero film doesn't exist now.
@@zonalic - There’s a book like it on Amazon called - Polaroid Manipulations: A Complete Visual Guide to Creating SX-70, Transfer, and Digital Prints - by Kathleen Thormod Carr Also an older one you might look for called - Watercolor Portrait Photography : The Art of Manipulating Polaroid SX-70 Images by Helen T. Boursier I don't remember the title of the book I had which was from the early 90s. But, you can search "Polaroid Manipulating" to find more information.
I have one of Carr’s books as well! Mine is simply called, Polaroid Transfers. It’s a guide for creating image transfers and emulsion lifts with 35mm slides and a slide printer. I am actually going to buy the tools I need and try it myself soon. 😊
Given the fact that it's hard to find SX-70 film and cameras, and given the fact that one can buy some excellent Photoshop plug-ins for digital photos, some enterprising company really needs to come out specifically with a plug-in that emulates this effect, interacting with the Wacom tablet and other similar graphic tablets. Photoshop has a Liquify effect, but it's really not the same thing.

Wow those original Polaroid chemicals...look how fast that photo developed! come on impossible project! We need this!!

Polaroid originals is alive
«Impossible» is «Polaroid Originals» now
That dude looks so fly-- I bet he's about to drop the freshest album with the dopest beats!
The fashion and whole vibe of the video brings back good memories from the 90's. Great video!
This is just about the best manipulation guide there is. I absolutely love it.
this guy has swag to a whole 'nother level

Has anyone tried this on The Impossible Project's SX-70 film?

so cool! i am considering buying an sx70 for my bf for xmas. so glad you made/posted this video! thanks :)
This is absolutely amazingly cute!!!!! Luv this!!!
Great video. One question, what is a two step neutral density filter? Thanks

Omg the guy in the video is the same guy in the Display picture right? Haha! Amaze ball! 🖤✨
We used to do this all the time. So much fun!
Love the intro!

Donde puedo encontrar el resto de los programas de tv que se emitieron? Gracias
Kathleen Carr, who included me in her fab book on the subject says that I coined the term smoosh. Ha. Those were the days. xoxo-Joan Emm
I used to have a book on how to do this, back before digital cameras.
What was it called?

Brilliant dude!!
the definition of style... :-)
I’m terrified to do because flim cost a lot sometimes and is expensive you know
Does this work with 600 film too?
no
This is similar to how the third Peter Gabriel album art was done!

+Mark Pettigrew Not hard to find the film and check your thrift store or Urban Outfitters for the sx 70 cameras and film.
Photoshop plug-in! Please no!
I hope i can follow this tutorial if the impossible project succeeds and produces non-rip-off film!
JAMES ジェームス Give them a break. They had to start from scratch.
Awesome thank you!
now i have an old sx-70, but film is way expensive right now.
This guy looks an awful lot like Chevy Chase
can't tell me this isn't chevy chase
or use ebay
Magic Mike
Photoshop back then. Haha ftw!
That dude look like Chevy Chase. Wow.
Modern day 600 camera’s 😝
like-idge.
