Do you know a reseller in Europe?
😮😮😮 That interior! And the results are just amazing - it almost looks so retro, but the finer details make it clear it's done in modern times.
Thanks so much Liza! Yeah this cathedral of air travel splendor is truly a heavenly place!
That would have to be one of the best series of film photos I have seen on UA-cam. Fabulous compositions and colour that matched those compositions perfectly. Well done.
Brett, appreciated truly - was very excited to shoot at TWA again ♥️
I didn't know they still produced this film. I worked at Kodak back in the early 2000s. At that time we coated it on an old coating machine that did nothing else but aero film. It was always coated it fresh, and finished right away to get it to our customers.
INTRO ON POINT!!!!!!!!!! DAMN
My guy!!!
The colors are very retro, I like to try this film one day. The subject is very good chosen as well. Beautiful building btw, a reminder of the days when taking a plane was glamorous.
My heart nearly popped out of my ribcage when I saw the word AERO. Alas it was not to be. But still a great review :P
Haha I hear ya Damon 😂 thank you!!
What a great videa with beautiful cinematography! Pleasure to watch.
Excellent production. Stoked to try some of this film
WOW love how each camera brings something unique out of the film! Feels like such a fun film to shoot! KYLE PLEASE KEEP THIS IN STOCK PLEASE
KYLE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOSH
Wow! I'll have to scoop up a roll of this at some point; that dynamic range is especially impressive.
Wonderful colors!
What an amazing location!
I'm impressed with your compositions as well as the film. Thanks, Jim from Georgia.
thanks for making this, love the photos and the airport 📷
Reallynice video, film and spot !!!
Where is that amazing old terminal, and is it always open to the public?
I love the way this film honors the red and orange tones. I miss that. And your composition is really impeccable. Can this architectural aesthetic make a comeback, please?!
Thank you so much, Kat! TWA is located across from JetBlue's terminal at JFK airport. It's a bit inconvenient to get there/hang around if you're not flying out or staying there but it's definitely doable!
@@brooklynfilmcamera oh wow, it is so worth the trouble. If we are ever in NY again, it's on the definite list. Your work is really amazing. Just ordered 3 rolls for my husband, he's a photographer and his favorite era is 50s Street photography. Those dreamt reds and oranges. He'll love this!
@@katashley1031 Thank you so much for the kind words! Hope your hub loves this stuff!
Jeezuz. That film is gorgeous.
Hey Ben!! you did a great job with that film. Perfect spot to shoot it as well!! All the best, Dave
Dave, you’re the man! Thank you for bringing this film to the people ♥️
10 rolls ordered.
The shots you got, especially with the panoramic camera are amazing.
Much love TW!
Love the location and great video! I shot a roll of this in my Pentax zoom90-WR point and shoot from the late 90's. (My K1000 was very jealous). It looked great in any lighting situation and color saturation was still great when using a flash. I will definitely give it a try in my manual cameras next. 😀
Sick video and awesome location! Grabbing 5 rolls!
My hunch with the dynamic range is that it was needed to capture details in shadows from high altitudes
Oh I gotta try this!
Can't wait to pick this up and shoot it through my new Leica M6. Nice to see an Alberta company getting more attention abroad.
Sick shots and great vid, keep it up y'all
Thank you IA!
This might be my new favorite film! I need to try it!
Awesome! You can pick it up here: www.brooklynfilmcamera.com/film/elektra100
Awesome video and great results !!! There are actually a few companies meanwhile, offering this film respooled and rebranded, such as Santa Color or Luminar 100 … or the Elektra, used in this video. It depends on where you live in the world, which film is best to order ( lowest shipping costs ). For me here in Japan, the Luminar 100 was the best option for example, offering the lowest shipping rates.
Definitely a bucket list place to visit as an aviation nerd! Camera in hand!
I remember the TWA terminal when I was travelling with my parents in the 1960s. The airport then was named Idlewild.
this is a fun video and I love TWA hotel.
Gorgeous place to take gorgeous photos ben!
Thank you Mr. Fathoni!
Interesting film and a great video. Nice use of the horizon 202, not a film camera you see too often on youtube, I love mine. I hope you can keep this type of video coming.
Appreciate you Dave, big lover of the Horizon, such an underrated and interesting camera. Definitely hope to produce more videos like this on the channel.
Buenardo el contenido y la locación!
Thanks for a great video.
Thank YOU!
This is so cool
Excellent photos in this. The one with the subject at the top left on the upper level and the man’s back in the centre of the frame is a corker 👍👍
It's corker o'clock, thanks so much Ben!
Your timing couldn't have been better, I literally just picked two rolls up from my local lab! Now I'm REALLY stoked to try it!
Oh man that’s awesome, hope you get some dope results 🎉
Who sells this SantaColor
@@Zetaphotography Flic Film Elektra 100, Santacolor 100, Luminare 100 and Washi X 100 are all the same film stock, Kodak Aerocolor IV 2460. :)
Mad seeing a K1000 in use. I learned the ropes on one in the 80s. Great video and amazing location. Now if only they would bring back the infrared stock....
Thanks so much for watching! Would love to see that IR stock back
A+
Love the unsaturated colors
What a well produced video I'm surprised you guys have such little subscribers.
We’re just getting started! Much more romps like this to come 💪
Wow I didn’t know the film was different from regular film stock. I will have to try it. Those were beautiful pictures. The colors were great..
I didn't either! I went and dug around, got this excerpt from a Kodak product info PDF file:
"The characteristics of aerial scenes differ
markedly from those of ordinary pictorial or ground scenes
because of the smaller range in subject luminance,
atmospheric haze conditions, and other factors. Therefore,
different film-speed parameters are used to relate
aerial-scene characteristics to practical exposure
recommendations"
I’m sooo here for this type of content ☺️🫶🏽✨
Still shook by the latitude of the film as well 🤯
@@2071photo I'm extremely here for you being here for this! And yeah that latitude goes crazy 😳🤘
Picked up a roll of this from my local shop in Alberta! Super excited to see what I get. The TWA building is gorgeous!
So stoked you got it locally in Alberta! Shoot it well Nick ✈
@@brooklynfilmcamera bought my F3 from Mr. Flic Film himself! Great video guys. Excited to see what’s next!!
@catjpeg love the shop!! I’m a kid in a candy store there! Haha
Film is like Christmas all the time. After you shoot a roll, you have to wait a little time to get your results. But it is a thrill. Brings back the good old days of when I shot nothing but film with my Nikons.
Hehe, even though I'm a photographer and I loved hearing about this film, I kind of wish the video was longer with some added details talking about the TWA Terminal, some of its architecture and the kinds of things that are preserved! lol
Nice video. That red telephone looked a lot like a British 700 type. Now let me get some of that film...
I’ve been saying this for years about a dentist or any doctor. If you make the appointment for 12:30pm, they won’t call you in until 1:15pm. ALWAYS.
I actually bought these in Minsk, Belarus a couple of times last year, the local shop was already selling them packaged for small format cameras and it was quite popular there as it was pretty cheap and provided impressive colors
That’s awesome! What kind of formats have you found it in?
@@brooklynfilmcamera I only remember it in regular 35mm cans
Dont forget Kodak Aerochrome! By the way, very legit content. Super like it!🗽✨
As a big fan of Ektar 100, seeing the way this resolved was a real marvel, I'm so broke rn but I hope I can get some in a bit
Luckily it's our cheapest color stock! It'll be here when you're ready 🤘
Love the photos! The TWA was such a good place to shoot this 😂 so good!
Been dying to shoot a video here for years and finally the right film emerged for the job ✈️
@@brooklynfilmcamera perfect 🤩
Wow.. very interesting..
just bought three rolls!
Your production values are through the roof here and oh my! You know what they say - “It’s Location, Location Location!” Hats off for providing another specialized Kodak film to our everyman camera bags. But I gotta say - your video color grading may just be more impressive than this very slick film stock. I had to keep reminding myself - that’s not the film, that’s the video! Well Done!
Haha thank you so much! Glad both the footage itself and the film are enticing 😂
Sooo cool 😃👍👏
I’m going in August and i can’t wait! Gonna get my SX-70 Refurbished for this trip!
Looks exactly like Santa color 100 from Kamerastore but dont have a clear base. Strange. Really liked the video
The use of tabular grain means the image will be less grainy, not so much that the grain will be finer, which is an attribute of film speed. Interesting nevertheless.
Brilliant… and the film stock is fantastic.. wonder if it will ever come to the uk …
We ship internationally at BFC, you can grab your rolls from us online!
This film isn't widely used... Yeah, that's about to change! Ordering 10 rolls now.
😅
I just found this video and treated it just as a review expecting average test shots and whatnot. But then the image came at 4:16. I mean. Man. If that's not an instant double sided album cover i don't know what is. Keep it up!
Thanks so much Máté!! ♥️
🤯
There are a lot of videos on YT about negative movies, but this one really has a class of its own. Amazing place, interesting information, nice photos and nice montage. This Kodak looks very interesting, nice to the eye 👍
I've been looking for a less expensive alternative to Santa color, and Silberra... Thanks for this, I just ordered 7 rolls.
Awesome, love that Ally 🫡
@@brooklynfilmcamera Also, that Connie, (Lockheed L-049 Constellation) looks Stunning in TWA colors and the warmth of this film, great work.
That part about the dentist… I felt that
Every. Damn. Time!
I’d love to shoot there
This is frigging awesome. Your video production was amazing and the film sounds amazing too. Definitely going to scoop a few rolls if I can find it locally or online if not. Already dreaming about the possibility of a 120 version
120 is certainly possible because of the huge master rolls, hopefully Flic cuts some soon! If you’re lookin for some Elektra we’ve got them online at BFC. Thank you for your kind words on the video!
Catlabs' new color 100 is this stock and they have it in 120.
@@tthurlow sweet, I’ll check that out. I’ve yet to put the aeroColor roll through its paces because I haven’t had a chance to shoot it yet(but I bought one roll for when I do). If it goes well I’ll look into trying the catlabs one.
This is fantàstic! Not only the use of the K1000 but i love that place‼️ where is It??? And the video its so well done, congrats!
This is next to the JetBlue gates at JFK! Thanks so much Dani ✈️
@@brooklynfilmcamera thanks! From a Pentaxian in Europe 😬
Woot woot! PENTAX 4 LIFE !! 😁
I've seen this film has a transparent base, do you think it'd make any good slides?? Hope you make a video about it in the future
Absolutely stunning images, amazing work. Is the film itself adding these beautiful tones automatically or is it something that only occurs with careful developing? I'm about to transition to film from digital and wondering if this film will give those tones regardless of where I get it developed.
Hi there, thank you so much for the kind words! The tonality should be fairly consistent no matter where you get it developed!
Your bideo footage looks as amazing as the photos can I ask what camera and general settings you're using, or is it more involved than just the gear?
We used the Canon R5 for this one, which produces a great image. We’ve also been shooting video professionally for many years so we were just doin our thing!
This airport looks like one big Stanley Kubrick film set.
Anyone think this and santacolor the same thing?
I believe it might be, or the prior emulsion Aerocolor III.
Santacolor and Silberra are all Aereocolor, dont know which version though.
@@GlaciaDay never knew that about silberra!!! Thanks!
@@grahamfil777 If have the opportunity to develop them in ECN-2, definitely try it. It grants way better results than C-41.
@@GlaciaDay Silberra! Was just thinking the same thing. Colors look samey indeed
I'm seeing way too much haze, which makes me wonder how the chambers are designed in those cameras. In my Argus C3, it was a box. If light hit the walls of that box, the reflections would haze the film. Solutions were to either use a hood or place a square aperture on the inside of the lens, which worked very well except for causing the edges of the film to vignette. A better approach would be to have a chamber that's pyramid shaped with the narrowest part at the lens end, and the widest part on the film end.
I'm a die-hard affectionado of vintage things, and appreciate technologies from film to tubes to 78 rpm records, but from what I see here, I saw no advantages to the film vs what I saw of any digital photography shown. The digital photography was clear, not hazy, with good contrast, good color, and no unnatural hue. Dynamic range is always a concern, but from what I saw here, bright film images had lots of haze, though that may have been a fault of the cameras. I do believe that light can also scatter within a film emulsion, causing haze. I don't know if digital receptors are as susceptible to this problem.
i wonder how one can tweak 'home's C-41 development to optimize the results from this film?
Bring back Aerochrome!
Is there a way to get the photos shown in the video?
I clicked cuz i thought that said aerochrome. It's not a close second but i still enjoyed the video.
“Aero” always gets the heart racing 🕴🏻
And now the whole world can look like a scene from 2001 A Space Odyssey.
the detail and the dynamic range is good but I cant get behind how orange/red tinted it is
Thank you for making this vid 》7:47《 mins in length!! 😉😄😜💯👌👈🖖
This was the goal from the very beginning! ✈️
even your clothes is very 1950s...so effing cool
Simply had to go all out for this one - thanks so much for checking out the vid!!
Would be interesting to see this re-spooled into motion picture stock
For a second there, I thought Jason's Flaming Hot Mountain Dew Challenge *actually* worked ... and then I read the _color_ after the Aero, instead of the _chrome_ 😔
Maybe it did work? The mysteries of the universe have yet to truly reveal themselves
@@brooklynfilmcamera 🖖🙏🏽
Isn’t the same as SantaColor 100?
Question: I've heard some say this film lacks the orange cast base, does it? If it's not orange- Could you cross process it in E6 and make "normal" looking slides?
Even if you can't I Gotta' try this stuff out normally!
Yes indeed you can!
SO cool!!! were the rolls processed with C-41 chemicals?
Yes, processed in C-41! Very impressed with this stuff.
This is the same stuff as Santacolor 100 right?
Ok I’m convinced, Just bought 6 rolls Lol.
Lesgoooo
Hoping they will make 400 or 800 speed of this film :(
Grain Rules
Did you push this film? I just got 2 rolls and I’m a bit afraid to shoot with it as I am in the uk and it hasn’t been particularly sunny lately.
No push! Shot at 100 ASA, and always differed to slight overexposure if the situation called for it
@@brooklynfilmcamera thank you so much 🖤
Does anyone spool this in 120? Does anyone know?
Has anyone found the correction filter than can kind of balance the somewhat excessive warmth?
It's unnecessary, the warmth is an artifact of incorrect scanning due to the film having no orange mask
If you scan it correctly, it's actually more cool
Was the Film Pushed for any of the shots or was it just shot at a bases 100iso?
Shot at box speed! Metered at 100 for everything.
@@brooklynfilmcamera Thank you so much I cannot wait to get my film in the mail!!! (Just letting the team know that this video format was like the best film ad ever please do make more!!!)
Hey man, you can't fool us!
We know that you are from the FUTURE!
You forgot that your 1950's wardrobe disguise should not include a DIGITAL watch! ;-)
Truly bleeding edge tech only fit for a spy 🕵🏻♀️
is this film also rebranded as santacolor 100 ?
Very likely!
Santacolor is Aerocolor.
Is this the same film stock as Santa Color?
Santa Color may be this stock, or it could be the prior emulsion Aerocolor III (seems very possible unless someone can pipe in to the contrary).
What did you guys shoot this video on?
This one is on the Canon R5, others on the channel are on the C300 MKIII.
