It's hard to move one when you keep on memories. In my country when someone dies, we give away at funeral some things, kind of gifts like mugs, plates, curly bread, candies, a symbolic gesture to provoke "letting it go", to move forward.
People may come and go, but when their voice and faces are recorded, they live forever. I hope you treasure those films with great care, surviving a child is the worst kind of loss one can endure.
Buzzfeed has a lot of great content (and yes, a lot of nonpolitical content). There's different sections to Buzzfeed. It's all under the same name, but they're isolated part that work by themselves. For example, their research team they hired has been stellar, but their name Buzzfeed hurts them in some ways. I think Buzzfeed hired them specifically to help their reputation. It's working, just slowly.
I could be in the background in that film. I was visiting my cousins in Brooklyn for first time in 1964. I went to the World Fair four times in the two weeks I was there. It was a wonderful experience for a 20 year old on his first visit to America coming from Ireland. I have lots of photos from that visit but no film. It must have been thrilling for your family to see the old film. Well done.
that's the precious thing about camera that everybody todays forgot. Now everybody have their own camera that could both record and shot and we became a self obsessed generation, back then having a video camera is a blessing, not everybody could have that, and even to develop and look at the result, it cost more money, buying the film again cost you more, that's why I didn't wonder why they only use it once and never use it again
Gabrielle X Oh calm down 😂 it’s not objectifying! It’s appreciating. Many women react the same way when they see their husband in a tight t-shirt looking young and buff. How come when a husband reacts that way to their wife it’s “objectifying” but when a wife reacts that way to a husband nobody blinks an eyelid? Everybody loves to be offended these days, so much so that you can’t even appreciate a sweet moment of an old man reacting to seeing his late wife when she was in her hay day for the first time in decades
Gabrielle X I don’t need to take my own advice, I’m not offended at all I’m laughing at the ridiculousness of what I just read 😂 I know for a fact that people can be objectified but my point is that this wasn’t a case of that and claiming this to be objectification takes away from actual cases of it. Also you literally said “you can still objectify your wife” clearly implying that you were talking about the guy saying “oh yeah” to seeing his young wife so shush 🙄
Wagwan It’s Bonbon actually I said that in response to the guy that said “how lmao it’s his wife”, because her being his wife doesn’t change the fact that he could still have objectified her and the same goes to any other relationship. I never implied or claimed that he in particular was acting that way, just corrected the previous comment and even said that’s taking it a bit far. You’re comment blew what I said completely out of proportion, probably due to your own ignorance, bringing in being offended over everything; so yes I stand by my original comment and you should take from your own advice.
My parents died in the nineties. So not long ago, but we were poor and didn't have a video camera. Sadly they both passed away when I was young. A few years ago my cousin gathered us all around the TV for Christmas. There was a video with everyone, including my parents at her brother's birthday party 20 years ago at her grandparents house. She just stumbled across it. My dad and his sense of humor on full display, my mom and her timeless beauty. I cried then, and I cry now as I type this. There I nothing more special than getting to see those who we have lost again, even if it's just in a video.
My dad has a roll of film from his grandparents who lived in South Korea at the time of the Korean War - it was illegal to take pictures/videos but my great grandpa did anyways, the CIA confiscated all other film and my great grandpa hid his until he passed recently telling us all about it. It shows the North Koreans bombing and all the white women and children getting to leave while the South Koreans were just having another casual day because they didn’t have anywhere safe to go. No one besides maybe 3 people have ever seen it. And no one in the world has really seen images of the Korean War first hand like this. My great grandparents and grandma actually got separated because the men werent allowed to go with the women and children. And obviously no way to get in touch quickly so it was hard to find one another after the war. My great aunt and uncle (also American were put into concentration camps in the Philippines. But that’s a whole other story after Korea. Edit: my great great grandpa was born in North Korea, he was the very first missionary ever born there.

I'm an ESL teacher to Japanese, and one of my students also found 8mm films his father owned. He wanted to "watch the pictures" on the film, so he went to a photo shop, unfortunately, the professionals couldn't help him. But he was very determined to see the motion picture, so he manually developed it (he took a photo of each small film, then resized it on some photo editing app, onerous work!). For months we talked about his progress... I'll send this video to him!
Definitely brought a tear to my eye! Best video yall have put out in a while! And AWESOME job on the sound effects added to the film, they complimented it beautifully....I dare say, you're grandma would have been very proud of you, sweetheart. 💕💕
My mother found an old reel in my grandmother's house when she passed away. It was of my mum and dad in the sixties. My dad died when I was 6 in the seventies so I don't really remember anything of him. So it was amazing and surreal when my mum got it developed to see him and my mum taking a summer stroll so youthful and happy. 🙂 I'd only ever seen pictures of him.
@Melinda Pelfrey Oh I'm so sorry to hear that Melinda. My dad died jogging at 38. His lung collapsed and he eventually had a heart attack and died. Seeing yourself with your dad must've been so emotional for you. May we all one day reunite with our loved ones! ☺
Isn’t time a strange thing? It seems so sad that we lose everything. Especially those so close to us. So much energy and life just goes away, as far as we know.... I have faith, but of course I really do hope there is something after this... there MUST be. What a crime if there isn’t. It would be so tragic.
NEVER POUR FIXER INTO A SINK IT WILL POLUTE THE WATER AND YOU WILL BE FINED. I CANT EXPRESS THIS ENOUGH. Pour it back into the container you got it from. Great video but please be sure to be careful with harmful chemicals and pouring into the pipes some of them can’t get filtered out of the water and definitely shouldn’t be consumed
I used to develop film rolls back in highschool in Photography Class just like this ☺ It brings back so many great memories in the dark room 💖 It made me love the developer smell even though to many it smelled horrendous and strong haha
my great grandfather was taken to gulag during ww2 and was forced to work in camps in siberia. a few months after the war ended he managed to get back home in Hungary. but he was changed forever. he developed some sort of phobia for cold, he always wore winter caps, coat and thick clothing even during hot summer days, he was terrified of the winter and wanted to move to a warmer country. all he did all day was chop wood and store them in a storage room his house and during winter he constantly put wood in the fireplace, sometime he would wake up in the middle of the night just to put some wood in the fireplace. when he died we got everything he owned including his house because he decided to give it to us. as we explored the house we found a basement, which was full of fire wood and it had numerous antiquities from ww2 and ww1 as he survived both wars, and even some objects that dated back to the 19th century as the year was written on them. the biggest find was a family tree that showed our bloodline back to 5 generations. i the storage room and garage had some much fire wood that we used it for 17 years and there still is plenty of it left. i could never personally talk to my great grandfather as i was barely 2 years old when he died, which i really regret because i think he could have teached me some amazing stories
When u go through something traumatic like being freezing for ages it's no wonder that the mind changes so that it ensures the body will never be cold again.
Am I the only one who checked channel name? the content was too good to be on BuzzFeed channel. We got used to watching never I have ever blah blah edition.
Hi from New Zealand, "The door of the camera dop off" that was your Grandmother wanting you to develop the film. Thank you for sharing your family history with the world👍
@@mytube0969 ...So you do have to send the film cartridge away to be developed? I have one 35mm cartridge that needs to be developed, but I'm hesitant to send it off, because I'm afraid something might happen to it, and all would be lost then. Who did you send it to to develop it, please? Thank you.
@@HeniHenii Nope...I'm in Prince Albert. I was thinking the film was either sent to Saskatoon or Regina, since they both have universities. I'd be shocked if it was Swift Current or Moose Jaw. By the way hope your enjoying our balmy minus 20 below zero weather today, compared to yesterday's minus 50 below zero.
I almost said " me" then remembered my grandpa giving me a wood box with a Bible in it, almost 5 years later after he'd passed I was looking thru it for first time and found $7,754 I'm not sure why the odd amount or if on purpose.
Who else couldn’t resist posting a question/comment, slanted towards a put down? Just you? I doubt it, I’m not going to go read through all the comments but just so you know...it’s getting so so old! Even my 3 year old granddaughter knows that being kind is way cooler.
I would of checked immediately, sounds like grandma's ghost got tired of waiting for someone to check the camera so she popped off the door to the flim
so cool... its why I don't understand why some people complain when someone takes pictures at a wedding, some travels, food, or just themselves being random. one day you'll forget those or be gone, no one will know bc you want to cherish your "memories" or "in the moment". memories fade and things happen... a picture stays for a long time.
Nobody will know what a sd-card is in some years. Kids nowdays don't even know what a cd or dvd is. Then bring up vinyl and cassette tapes.. They have no clue.
My dad left me his old film reels along with the old camera and they were old but developed. Growing up, at the beginning of summer we'd all get together and watch them. Very old cartoons and also he recorded us, he was old school. There was videos of ham when he was little and my mother and she was younger and of their parents and of my brothers and sisters who are passed away What I would give to have all that back as someone broke into our house one year and stole all of it along with dad's coin collection. My whole family has been go been gone for years and I pray and put out in the universe that someone drop them off on my doorstep or I find them. 10 years I've been looking. The only thing that is priceless to me is the people on those film reels that I will never see again on this Earth. And that is the only thing I had left of my family and not one other thing. These are priceless❤💔❤🙏
That's horrible that somebody would have no heart to do that. Even if they didn't know what they stole in the first place, they should have given it back as soon as they realized it!
This brought happy tears. I'm all about memories, especially capturing the moments make it so special. Glad you were able to develop the film for yourself and your family.
*Side of a camera, that stand for years on the same place, randomly pops open Him: "Oh that's cool, doesn't creepy at all. Let's try to develop the film I found inside of it!"
It's like your grandmother reaching out to say hello to everyone in the family. It's funny how something we do during the course of our lives, turns into a valued gem after we're gone.
what the film is stored on is called a "safety spool" designed to be loaded in daylight. Basically because the metal spool is light-proof, and the film itself is light-proof, only the unwound stuff round the edges is exposed to light. edit: more commonly called a "daylight spool" which i guess backs up my point lol
what an amazing story.. a tear-jerker even for a hardened 40 year old dude.... this man is BLESSED to have such a large family with so many generations all together still... Im 40 and have no surviving family AT ALL since 2017 besides my two daughters, and seeing this makes me feel extremely unfortunate in life... but this video has prompted me to put salvaging my dads old projector slides from storage on the top of my TO-DO list... from what I remember, they’re all photos from when he was deployed to Europe during the Vietnam War era... might be nice to sit down with my girls and have our own leap into the past together... it’s the little things...
Oh, look: yet another unoriginal, oft repeated, done to death, Surprised Pikachu Face comment... Me: Surprised Pikachu Face Dammit. I'm caught in a feedback loop. Surprised Pikachu Face Please help.
My grandparents died in 1993. When going through the house I found reels and reels of already developed film from the 1940's and 1950's. I had it put on video tape and then called the family to watch a movie I told them I got from Blockbuster. Within 60 seconds my mom was crying. She did not recall ever seeing these images - especially going to kindergarten. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ I love stories like yours (and mine). ✌️
as an advanced film photo student, the process of developing 35mm black and white film if you would care to know is 280ml per roll of water mixed with 10oz of developed per roll reel, then 10 mins with agitation for 30s then 5s every 30s, then you pour this out and do a stop bath with 68f water for 30s pour it out, then do fixer (20oz double for two reels so on) 5mins 30s agitation then 5s every 30s, then pour this back into the fixer counter as you want to save it. after this do hypo clear (20oz per reel) 2mins 30s then 5s every 30s pour it back into the container to save it, then you do a final wash with 68-75f water and leave it running into the container for 5mins then pour this out and do photo flow by putting the reel into it for 10s to 30s. hopefully, this helps anyone who needs it! :)
That's... a good starting platform yes but there are chemical temperature factors (specifically developer temperature), the film's actual speed and then if there's any push/pull exposure for the roll and sometimes the physical age of the film to be considered too. Also, use actual stop bath, not water, between the dev and fix. 👍
I am a graduated student, and you are wrong. first thing you do is wash your mouth for 30 seconds with mouthwash, spit it into the film. open a beer, drink half and pour the rest of it on the film, and there you go.
luke gooden for black and white 35mm this is the process, I didn’t explain for color since it’s a little hard to explain due to there being different times extra steps and other things
This is the reason I still shoot film in either stills or motion, with the same vintage camera's of the era. There really is no way to recreate what may be had while continuing to utilize period equipment. I've run across just a few who have made efforts to copy our families efforts way back then, but the resulting images lacked the contrast, coarseness of grain, and muted tonal qualities that were often the earmark of these movies. Thank you for sharing this amazing clip. Your grandmother's video camera must still be collecting dust. Find some old 8mm film, and drag her camera out for some memories of your own. Happiest Holidays.
Cute so so, wholesome country style, wheat fields fixing wood fences , redoing horses shoes( hoofs ) YES he is nice interesting and intelligent too. I'll take 2 please one for my sister.
my grandmother gave me her house before she died and i found a whole stash of films in the attic. I spent a lot of money in developing them turns out it was just porn.
Amazing. I’m literally sitting here with tears in my eyes watching the last few moments of this video. What a gift to your grandfather and your family.
My grandmother is still living, born in 1940, 78 years old. We watch a lot of old films her mother gave her. My grandfather, her husband, passed away from lung cancer. He was a coal miner. My family goes waaaaay back.
I don’t know why I clicked on your video until I seen the end results and my eyes teared up. I needed that blessing at that time. Thank you for that Sir and God bless you and your family.
This made me so emotional. Think of all the incredible memories that are captured on undeveloped film and lost to time. Please please please help support your local lab keep film alive
I don't comment on videos often. However, watching the footage of your grandmother at the fair made me cry. There are not a lot of things that make me cry. Thank you for sharing this happy moment with all of us.
As a research student I can say with like 70% confidence that it’s was probably a student/group of students who came up with the “Caffenol” idea, but because they were being “supervised” by that professor, most of the credit probably went to him. Tch. I’m just speculating, but it happens so often. I hope I’m wrong.
I just did that from 1988, 540MB, tiny files. My first porn downloads in .tiff format. Some in .bmp , those are horrible. Also, Strip Poker II DOS game. And a flight simulator with Chuck Yeager.
The ending was so beautiful. The entire video felt like it was pretty technical and towards the end it got me so emotional. We have definitely lost the touch to appreciate moments as everything and anything is available to be filmed on our phones, back then it was just so special. Great video!
I can feel how indescribably joyful to watch a movie, even with all the aged distortions, of your family from so long ago. My heart is with you. A blessing from God! A gift!
This isn’t even my family and it’s made me smile so much. I only wish I had something like this to be able to remember my nan. Photos are great but a moving image, a video, film...that’s just magica.
Wow I loved the ending how the new footage transitions to the old it's a bit awe inspiring that a point in time can be preserved like this it's like going back in time literally and stuff like this sometimes makes you think about our exsistance in general. Sometimes I feel Intelligent beings are the concience of our universe
Skipped to the end 7:09 , it was a blurry picture that lasted about 10 seconds. You could see the disappointment his family's face. They were like, "this is it? Uh good job lad, we'll hang you're picture on the fridge..." Even the Canadian film developer seemed like he was laughing at the poor chump.
@@laserr10000000 Its not digital you cant rewind and watch it before developing. You can only watch footage from film cameras after developing the film. There is physically no way that family had seen the footage before unless you mean they refilmed the reveal to the family for this video.
I don't even know these people but seeing that old film brought back wonderful memories of my own, and feelings, oh the feelings of that time, as I grew up in the 50's and 60's. It brought back the feelings of my childhood. Wonderful. Thank you for saving this bit of your history so I and many others could enjoy it also.
I think your grandma opened the camera for you guys to experience this awesome moment. Very cool and touching video. God bless you. This was an awesome experience watching. 👍🏻
Lol I did a report way back in elementary school (1993 or 94) in Kansas on Saskatchewan, read some book about a boy (I can't remember anything about it though haha.)
Rolling Vehicles..I am from Kansas City, Missouri..and most USAers don't know KC exists..except in Kansas perhaps!..I was taught some information about the Canadian provinces in grade school..we were taught we had a great neighbor to the north..we were taught we invaded Canada twice in 50 years..and were defeated both times...(albeit by the British)....Regina is your capital (some form of the regal title of Queen Victoria)..Saskatoon is your largest city..your population is about 1.1 million. Many of us in the U.S. love Canada!
Some what say, it might have been your grandmother popping the camera open... Wow, it is so beautiful and amazing to see decades old film and photographs developed and your relatives so happy about it!
I can only imagine how much this meant to your grandfather, seeing his beautiful young wife and his children having fun. 😀
I kinda don't keep things like these.
It would only make it worse.
Knowing that _it was_ , and it will never be.. :(

He wanted to "watch the pictures" on the film, so he went to a photo shop, unfortunately, the professionals couldn't help him. But he was very determined to see the motion picture, so he manually developed it (he took a photo of each small film, then resized it on some photo editing app, onerous work!). For months we talked about his progress... I'll send this video to him!
Calle Cambiado please update us on how it goes! The contents of old films are so interesting
Yeah please do
Howd it go??
was already developed? what sort of movie film is it?
wait why did this make me so emotional :(
ell achi seriously! i don’t know what it was but suddenly my eyes started sweating
Definitely brought a tear to my eye! Best video yall have put out in a while! And AWESOME job on the sound effects added to the film, they complimented it beautifully....I dare say, you're grandma would have been very proud of you, sweetheart. 💕💕
Amber Clarke yeah I cried
@@amyrudick1892 same
Me too 😢 I don’t know why but I started tearing .... it was so touching
This was awesome
omg i cried tooo! you are so right.
My mother found an old reel in my grandmother's house when she passed away. It was of my mum and dad in the sixties. My dad died when I was 6 in the seventies so I don't really remember anything of him. So it was amazing and surreal when my mum got it developed to see him and my mum taking a summer stroll so youthful and happy. 🙂 I'd only ever seen pictures of him.
Death Wish ❤️
@Melinda Pelfrey Oh I'm so sorry to hear that Melinda. My dad died jogging at 38. His lung collapsed and he eventually had a heart attack and died. Seeing yourself with your dad must've been so emotional for you. May we all one day reunite with our loved ones! ☺
Isn’t time a strange thing? It seems so sad that we lose everything. Especially those so close to us. So much energy and life just goes away, as far as we know.... I have faith, but of course I really do hope there is something after this... there MUST be. What a crime if there isn’t. It would be so tragic.
NEVER POUR FIXER INTO A SINK IT WILL POLUTE THE WATER AND YOU WILL BE FINED. I CANT EXPRESS THIS ENOUGH. Pour it back into the container you got it from. Great video but please be sure to be careful with harmful chemicals and pouring into the pipes some of them can’t get filtered out of the water and definitely shouldn’t be consumed
Thanks for bringing this point up! Buzzfeed should have been more eco-conscious, at least in their editing to make note of it in the video.
Up
But it wasn’t real fixer, it was coffee and vitamins
Caffenol is simply a developer. You still have to use a standard fixer with it. The developer can go down the sink. The fixer can't.
I highly doubt they're going to send someone in the sewer to trace back some chemicals That No One Ever Knows got poured down there
It must be amazing to see your parents childhood...imagine when your mom's still 8 yrs old...so heart warming.

How I'd wish to have such footage of my beloved Mother when she was young. This video owner was so fortunate to have such.
I used to develop film rolls back in highschool in Photography Class just like this ☺ It brings back so many great memories in the dark room 💖 It made me love the developer smell even though to many it smelled horrendous and strong haha
hey stfu
My brother does photography in his high school and develops photos in a dark room
I was telling my son the same thing about how back in highschool and college that I learned how to develop film in photography class.
I love the smell of development chemicals, i think it smells kind of like salt and vinegar chips haha

my great grandfather was taken to gulag during ww2 and was forced to work in camps in siberia. a few months after the war ended he managed to get back home in Hungary. but he was changed forever. he developed some sort of phobia for cold, he always wore winter caps, coat and thick clothing even during hot summer days, he was terrified of the winter and wanted to move to a warmer country. all he did all day was chop wood and store them in a storage room his house and during winter he constantly put wood in the fireplace, sometime he would wake up in the middle of the night just to put some wood in the fireplace. when he died we got everything he owned including his house because he decided to give it to us. as we explored the house we found a basement, which was full of fire wood and it had numerous antiquities from ww2 and ww1 as he survived both wars, and even some objects that dated back to the 19th century as the year was written on them. the biggest find was a family tree that showed our bloodline back to 5 generations. i the storage room and garage had some much fire wood that we used it for 17 years and there still is plenty of it left. i could never personally talk to my great grandfather as i was barely 2 years old when he died, which i really regret because i think he could have teached me some amazing stories
Thanks for this story mate!
When u go through something traumatic like being freezing for ages it's no wonder that the mind changes so that it ensures the body will never be cold again.

Hi from New Zealand,
"The door of the camera dop off" that was your Grandmother wanting you to develop the film.
Thank you for sharing your family history with the world👍
henry rudolph I thought exactly that too
6:50 is the moment you are looking for
Thanks.
good looks!!!
THANK YOU
Da man
Nope. I want to see the whole story and not just skip to the end.
I just developed 15 rolls of color film from when I was in the Navy 26 years ago.
Cool story bro.
That is so cool!
Who did you use to get it developed? I have some old disk camera film I want to try to get developed.
I just sent 6 rolls of 35mm away to be developed. I'm guessing they are from when my son was young. 25 years+. Very curious!
@@mytube0969 ...So you do have to send the film cartridge away to be developed? I have one 35mm cartridge that needs to be developed, but I'm hesitant to send it off, because I'm afraid something might happen to it, and all would be lost then. Who did you send it to to develop it, please? Thank you.
Shout out from Saskatchewan Canada.

Hey me too! Saskatoon! 👋👋👋
@@HeniHenii Nope...I'm in Prince Albert. I was thinking the film was either sent to Saskatoon or Regina, since they both have universities. I'd be shocked if it was Swift Current or Moose Jaw.

I almost said " me" then remembered my grandpa giving me a wood box with a Bible in it, almost 5 years later after he'd passed I was looking thru it for first time and found $7,754 I'm not sure why the odd amount or if on purpose.
Who else couldn’t resist posting a question/comment, slanted towards a put down? Just you? I doubt it, I’m not going to go read through all the comments but just so you know...it’s getting so so old! Even my 3 year old granddaughter knows that being kind is way cooler.
@@masterofsparkshwy6974 maybe you weren't supposed to look inside the bible at the time x
I would of checked immediately, sounds like grandma's ghost got tired of waiting for someone to check the camera so she popped off the door to the flim
Yep, it’s the first thing I would have done because I’d want to see if the camera worked.
so cool... its why I don't understand why some people complain when someone takes pictures at a wedding, some travels, food, or just themselves being random. one day you'll forget those or be gone, no one will know bc you want to cherish your "memories" or "in the moment". memories fade and things happen... a picture stays for a long time.
Nihilists don't care about such things.
Isn't that kind of a plot point in "One Hour Photo" (2002)

"Today everything exists to end on a photograph" 😊, as a videographer and a photographer myself, this video was so pleasing!!!
My dad left me his old film reels along with the old camera and they were old but developed. Growing up, at the beginning of summer we'd all get together and watch them. Very old cartoons and also he recorded us, he was old school. There was videos of ham when he was little and my mother and she was younger and of their parents and of my brothers and sisters who are passed away
What I would give to have all that back as someone broke into our house one year and stole all of it along with dad's coin collection. My whole family has been go been gone for years and I pray and put out in the universe that someone drop them off on my doorstep or I find them. 10 years I've been looking. The only thing that is priceless to me is the people on those film reels that I will never see again on this Earth. And that is the only thing I had left of my family and not one other thing. These are priceless❤💔❤🙏
I am so sad to hear that terrible news. Try hold those memories in your heart. No one can take those away from you.
God will bless you and you will have your memories again 🙏
That's horrible that somebody would have no heart to do that. Even if they didn't know what they stole in the first place, they should have given it back as soon as they realized it!

I’m surprised he didn’t totally ruin the film by exposing it before it was developed
what the film is stored on is called a "safety spool" designed to be loaded in daylight. Basically because the metal spool is light-proof, and the film itself is light-proof, only the unwound stuff round the edges is exposed to light.
edit: more commonly called a "daylight spool" which i guess backs up my point lol
you think the camera popped itself out? think again.
God Bless
Kids might be playing around and bumped on it and fell. Then they didnt tell dad. 😂
Sounds like me days ago
Could have fell on the side and then popped open
Kate Sweeney or his grandma opened it 🤯
That does sound a bit....spooky. No offence to any one
what an amazing story.. a tear-jerker even for a hardened 40 year old dude.... this man is BLESSED to have such a large family with so many generations all together still... Im 40 and have no surviving family AT ALL since 2017 besides my two daughters, and seeing this makes me feel extremely unfortunate in life...
but this video has prompted me to put salvaging my dads old projector slides from storage on the top of my TO-DO list... from what I remember, they’re all photos from when he was deployed to Europe during the Vietnam War era...
might be nice to sit down with my girls and have our own leap into the past together...

My grandparents died in 1993. When going through the house I found reels and reels of already developed film from the 1940's and 1950's. I had it put on video tape and then called the family to watch a movie I told them I got from Blockbuster. Within 60 seconds my mom was crying. She did not recall ever seeing these images - especially going to kindergarten. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ I love stories like yours (and mine). ✌️
Oml this is so sweet, his grandpa must've been so happy and they're bringing back the memories!
as an advanced film photo student, the process of developing 35mm black and white film if you would care to know is 280ml per roll of water mixed with 10oz of developed per roll reel, then 10 mins with agitation for 30s then 5s every 30s, then you pour this out and do a stop bath with 68f water for 30s pour it out, then do fixer (20oz double for two reels so on) 5mins 30s agitation then 5s every 30s, then pour this back into the fixer counter as you want to save it. after this do hypo clear (20oz per reel) 2mins 30s then 5s every 30s pour it back into the container to save it, then you do a final wash with 68-75f water and leave it running into the container for 5mins then pour this out and do photo flow by putting the reel into it for 10s to 30s. hopefully, this helps anyone who needs it! :)
That's... a good starting platform yes but there are chemical temperature factors (specifically developer temperature), the film's actual speed and then if there's any push/pull exposure for the roll and sometimes the physical age of the film to be considered too. Also, use actual stop bath, not water, between the dev and fix. 👍
This is chemistry, don’t mix it with the imperial system please.
I am a graduated student, and you are wrong. first thing you do is wash your mouth for 30 seconds with mouthwash, spit it into the film. open a beer, drink half and pour the rest of it on the film, and there you go.
But don’t you think that different developers will have different dev times 😂
luke gooden for black and white 35mm this is the process, I didn’t explain for color since it’s a little hard to explain due to there being different times extra steps and other things
Ok, this is prob the only good BuzzFeed video

Hi
ABC Santiago hallo
This is the reason I still shoot film in either stills or motion, with the same vintage camera's of the era. There really is no way to recreate what may be had while continuing to utilize period equipment. I've run across just a few who have made efforts to copy our families efforts way back then, but the resulting images lacked the contrast, coarseness of grain, and muted tonal qualities that were often the earmark of these movies. Thank you for sharing this amazing clip. Your grandmother's video camera must still be collecting dust. Find some old 8mm film, and drag her camera out for some memories of your own. Happiest Holidays.
I had to double check to see if this quality content was actually Buzzfeed.

As a research student I can say with like 70% confidence that it’s was probably a student/group of students who came up with the “Caffenol” idea, but because they were being “supervised” by that professor, most of the credit probably went to him. Tch. I’m just speculating, but it happens so often. I hope I’m wrong.
@Milena Nellarete Caffenol actually works pretty well, I developed a few times with it and I always got great results !

Tbh the family didn't seem too thrilled about it..
You saw like 30 seconds of them lol and they're behind a camera..
Skipped to the end 7:09 , it was a blurry picture that lasted about 10 seconds. You could see the disappointment his family's face. They were like, "this is it? Uh good job lad, we'll hang you're picture on the fridge..." Even the Canadian film developer seemed like he was laughing at the poor chump.
I guess they saw it already prior
@@laserr10000000 Its not digital you cant rewind and watch it before developing. You can only watch footage from film cameras after developing the film. There is physically no way that family had seen the footage before unless you mean they refilmed the reveal to the family for this video.
Well, because they lived it maybe, but it was a good throwback
as someone who regularly develops film with the actual chemicals, its really interesting and kind of funny to watch someone develop film with coffee.
