I had an unopened, 100 foot, bulk roll of this film in my film freezer, until the freezer failed, and I had to downsize. My intentions were to contact print my 35mm color negatives to make positive slides for projection. The intent was good, but the spirit was weak, as Kodak intended the film to used in automatic printing machines which would handle all the mess details, like printing density and color balance. On the positive side, the whole 100 foot roll cost about $28 as I recall, so no great loss.
Hi Tommy, I used this film to create slides a long time ago. I used Tex to print paper versions of each slide, then loaded the film on a camera to shoot each page. The resultant slides come out white printing on a deep purple background. With color filters, I could create differnt color backgrounds. Thanks for bringing back those memories. Dave
Been wanting to try shooting some film but I don’t know where to start. Always dope coming across different creatives! Had to come show some love 🙏🏾 Keep at it!!
Great video Tommy! You've got some bangers from this old film! I haven't had as much luck with finding quality expired film! Thanks for sharing, love your style!
The extreme color shifts result from (1) age, Vericolor films were "professional" films, both negative and positive has short expiration dates and were delivered at peak status; (2) usually contact printed in machines for that purpose using a tungsten or halogen light source, so not daylight balanced. Usually sold in bulk rolls of 50 and 100 feet, it was about half the price of regular Vericolor negative film in bulk rolls. I had a 50 foot roll for about 20 years, but it got tossed out a while back. never used any of it.
eBay is your best bet for camera’s, just search on UA-cam for reviews before purchasing! You can get film at your local photo store or a variety of places online!
At the end, I mentioned cross processing because some people have developed it in E6 for experimentation! Apparently it’s just less contrasty in E6. SO-279 is primarily a color negative, C-41 based film. It only acts as a color positive slide film after a C41 developing IF it’s used a duplicating film. Otherwise, if used as shown in my video it’s just a weird blue color negative film

Killer shots! I’ve only come across b&w copy film so this stuff seems pretty unique
Thank you!! I didn't know about B&W copy film until I was researching for this video - seems like it'd be another fun stock to shoot
Great video Tommy! You've got some bangers from this old film! I haven't had as much luck with finding quality expired film!
Thanks for sharing, love your style!
Just found 100’ of this shtuff. Thanks for some pointers.
good luck shooting my friend!
never knew this existed (= machine), but saw it and was like "I need that in my life!"
Love this! Looking forward to new content 🙌🏻
Thank you for the support my friend 🙏🏼
Your underrated honestly I'm also from TikTok
Thank you for the support!!
Loved this video!
Thank you SO much for watching friend
Would have been interesting if you actually took a picture of some negatives. Still cool tho I never knew a film stock like this existed
I wanted to! I just didn’t have the rig. I’m gonna look into getting a SRL Slide Copying set up and some more of this film soon🙏🏼
Very unique look to the shots! Nice video man.
Yoo i love your cameras dude!!
Thank you!
Hey bro, what lightroom preset is this?
Get out
very cool vid man!
thank you!!
Can you make a video on your photo editing process? It’s really good. Thanks!
Thank you! I’ve gotten a few requests - I’ll make one soon!!
It is definitely strange but it looks like you could get some cool results.
I used to use this stuff back in the 90s for band cover shots. ISO 3-20. Sadly, bulk loaded. The stuff is gone now :(
Try scanning as a black & white image and it will look much better. 👍🏻
i remember you from flyy’s old vids
I wouldn't mind shooting a roll for fun.
It’s really fun! Nothing else like it

Where can I buy a film camera and the film

If you say that it's actually a negative film cross processed as a positive, then k wonder how it will look if it was processed normally in c-41.
