Cinestill 800T | What I learned From 108 Exposures
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2021
- In this video I talk about a really cool 35mm film stock, Cinestill 800T. It is actually a modified movie film, and it gives photos a dramatic, cinematic look when shot in the right lighting conditions. I tested it in a bunch of different lighting conditions/ shooting locations and I have example photos/ commentary on each!
You’ve definitely got your priorities straight: no digital camera, no shotgun or lav mic, no fancy home studio setup - BUT you shoot lots of film. Gotta respect that. 😊
refreshing to see actually
Your energy is so contagious. Nothing is more enjoyable than getting excited because the person talking is unabashedly excited! Love your work and photos
Thank you so much for watching! This comment makes me feel good about my content, i really appreciate it :D
Love your knowledge & enthusiasm.
Photos are mesmerising 🥰
Thanks for the deep dive into Cinestill, Yvonne. A number of Instagrammers whom I follow shoot with this and so I see their best shots with it. But I really like how you broke things down into various situations and explained and showed with photos which of those situations are best suited for Cinestill--and importantly, which are NOT! Very useful! I'm loving your channel. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much for watching! I had a lot of fun making this video, mostly because I had so much fun shooting with cinestill haha. I was also inspired by talented instagrammers to pick up a roll. I will probably do one for lomochrome metropolis in the future!
Absolutely delighted by your work!
Thank you so much!
Love your energy big time! I will keep this in mind before I decide what film I am copping for my trip to Berlin
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Definitely cop some Cinestill- there's also a lomography BW film called Berlin, which I'd recommend shooting there just for the name sake haha
@@YvonneHansonPhotography hahah ngl you are right so I guess it's gonna be two then. Ima check them out. You gained a new sub!
Thanks for doing this and sharing your findings
woman, I really like your vibe, great video. gotta pick up some 800t!
Nice timing for this video. I'm about half way through my first roll of 800t. So far I was playing with double exposures, first an under exposed landscape then something with texture. It was all in bright sunlight, so hopefully I get a good shot or two.
That sounds so cool! I haven't shot a roll of cinestill with double exposure yet, but I've seen some reallllly cool results from it. Let me know how it turns out, I'd be really curious to see the photos.
Love this film, especially at night!!!
Nice video Yvonne. I realize this is 2 years old, but a tip you may wish to try: add a warming filter to your lens and shoot this in daylight (at box speed). You will be suprised how pleasant the skin tones are!
This was a really great video! You had a lot of NICEEE images, especially the set with the Star filter. I'm inspired haha
Thanks so much for watching! I hope it was helpful and I'm glad it was inspiring :D
I have been to Montreal once. My first snow experience! But by February it got too extreme for me. Anyway I love the sound that the old metro trains make when they start moving.
omg! First snow experience in Montreal sounds intense- I know they get crazy snow there during the cold months, I've never been in winter!
Thanks for the detailed information.😊
I dug up my film camera and hope to start shooting film again. I started with film back in the mid 80s. Always loved it. My go-to film for portraits back then was Kodak VPS 160. I did try a bunch of different films. I wasn't shy about experimenting. These days I do mostly music photography in a 180 seat club. I plan to shoot a roll of Cinestill 800T rated at 1600 and see what I get. My nephew swears by Cinestill. Thanks for your awesome videos!
I recently shot a roll of Cinestill at Byron Bay Australia and it’s a heck of a lot of fun! Good video, keep it up!
I'm glad you had fun with it! Hopefully you got some great shots :D thanks for watching!
Shooting my first roll of 35mm Cinestill 800t. Good video!
Thanks for watching! And good luck to you! Do try a few shots in the day time, it has some really unique results ^.^
Love the Red and Green, very Christmasy and they’re Complementary Colors, too. 👍🏽
Thank you! Its one of my fave colour pallets for sure :D
Going to give this a try I have some at home and have yet to put it in the camera
Lmao i loved this video , i like how excited you are , made me watch the entire video thanks for the tips
Thanks so much for watching! Hope the tips are helpful :D
Came here to watch cinestill, stayed for your vibe, left missing Montreal 😩
Love your work !
Thanks so much! and thanks for watching :D
these films always bring surprises, and you make it very well!! Indeed, I would like to consult you something: I bought a bit cheaper a pair of film rolls CS800T 120mm, they expired the last year, what do you recomend me to do? push them to 600 iso or what do you advise me? thx
There’s a bit of a difference between the super 8 and 16mm films that are Kodak 500t (base stock for 800t). They are like 35mm ciné film as they have a remjet layer. The removal of this layer may cause more light to reach the layers of the film which explains why it’s rated at 800 not 500, but more it is the part of the film that when removed will result in halation
I just shot my first roll of this film on my Minolta X-700 and the results were amazing.
Jut an FYI the layer removed from the Vison 3 film is called rem jet
When used for film movies it protects the emulsion from coming apart due to static. Cool video. subbed
Thank you! I was a bit confused about all the technical terms while researching it, so I appreciate the supplementary info! Thanks for watching :)
really like the bird and the tones at 5:50 and love the dog photo and light at 10:32! excited to try out (expired) cinestill for the first time soon!
Thanks so much! I bet it looks really cool expired too! It sometimes comes out a bit overexposed so maybe the expiration might even help a bit in brighter lighting?? Not sure
@@YvonneHansonPhotography thanks for the info - I've heard some people on yt have overexposed expired rolls 2-3 stops so I think I'll try shooting it at 200 to be safe since it expired three years ago. but i'll definitely try out the film both during the day and at night!
For the photos shot during the day, did you shoot w a warming filter?
No filter no edit!
5:06 love that shot ❤
Beautiful pictures and colors! Did you use a tripod for the night shots?
Thank you! No tripod, but in many cases I would have benefited from a monopod. I just find it unwieldy for street photography, but if you can get away with it I would recommend using something like that.
no one on the metro so bizarre. great content and pics by the way
I took these late at night on weekdays to minimize the folks in them! And thank you :D
Nice video.
Do you always shoot it at 800 iso? I've reading a lot to shoot it at 500.
I haven't tried it at 500! I'd be curious to try, I have a roll ready to burn in NYC this September so I'll try it at 500!
Excellent video. Can I ask what camera you shoot with?
Thanks so much for watching! I shoot film with a Nikon f801 which has almost an identical layout to my digital camera, a Nikon D780.
I want to shoot this film inside, at a roller skating rink. A lot of lights but still a darker setting, would that be a good idea? Should I use a flash?
I think that would be a good setting! Bring a flash, but you can probably get some cool shots without it too depending on if there's "stage" lights or not
@@YvonneHansonPhotography I shot it. Hopefully it turns out good. I used my point and shoot because I don’t quite know how to do flash film yet
Thanks for the video, I'm playing with some tonight K
Good luck! I hope you get some fun restuls!
The whole beginning of the video I was like this looks familiar and then you I saw the metro and biodome and knew it had to be Montréal
Haha yes a tonnnnn of these were taken in Montreal. I took two full rolls of Cinestill there!
0:40 it’s not based on, and it’s not a copy. It is motion picture picture film. They take motion picture film, remove the remjet and re-roll it to produce cinestill 800T
Did you hand hold or use a tripod?
All shots are hand held!
the quality of your images inmensely overcompensate the lack of lac mic and expensive camera to record. Great job!
did you use flash for the night shots?
No! Just a slightly longer exposure.
I bought some in 2020 and now in 2023 im scared to use them because the prices has gone up so high! A lot of other brand rolls are still sitting in my refrigerator. I will use ONLY for very special occasions from now on.
hahaha I feel the same- I've had two rolls for about a year now and I keep side eyeing them every time I travel....
Really informative video! Thanks. I've learned a lot until 9 minutes. I could not watched any longer. Can you speak a bit slower next time? Or you were against a clock?
haha, you can turn the speaking speed down in the settings! There's a little gear icon that lets you select the speed, so if I talk to fast that can help!
@@YvonneHansonPhotography I've learned something again. Thx.
@@karolybartha1950 happy to help!
5:55 i dont think its waste of film
2:58
CineStill 800T in 2021: $11-$14 per roll
CineStill 800T in 2024: $15-$20 per roll
😂
You don’t need to hold the microphone
I've since gotten a LAV mic so hopefully my audio is better now!
Not only do you need to hold the microphone but you should also get another one and hold it in your opposite hand. Actually, get as many microphones that you can and hold them all in both hands. Op doesn’t understand microphone maxxing
woman, I really like your vibe, great video. gotta pick up some 800t!
