First of all, great to see the In An Instant Cinematic Universe add some more depth to Ben's character with the introduction of Mom and Dad. Second: the fact that you didn't use a manual processor was a missed opportunity and this needs to be revisited! Third: the final challenger awaits: The monstrous 20x24 Polaroid in Berlin.
Yeah the character development is finally taking hold, though not sure at this point what character they'll kill off in the finale. At any rate, thank you mate! Next up: 20x24!
She speaks! She speaks! What a lovely treat! Sorry Lauren! Haha! Your dad is a man of impeccable taste being a fellow triumph rider! 8x10 looks bloody brilliant, just really shows you the true quality of Polaroid film and emphasising the lens issue was a great shout, I think people in general don't appreciate that's one of the big reasons the sx-70 is so good. Nice to see Kyle in action, having been on the receiving end of his generosity recently it was great to see a bit of the man himself 👍🏻 Another braw video Ben, Slaintè!
Thank you Mock! Yes we finally got Lauren on the mic 😂, seems she loved the spotlight. And yes daddio is definitely deep in that bike culture, trying to get the Triumph into the studio was simply an impossible task haha but glad we shot with it outside (lemons out of lemonade). And so happy to have this vid with Kyle out into the world, an honor to work with the lad. As for the bike, it's actually a Raleigh that was used on the set of the show Lost. Rarely does it leave its proud display in the studio but for this video it was worth it.
@@InAnInstant it was a great video, I didn't know much about the whole process for 8x10, I hadn't even seen the processor working before. If I get the chance to visit NY or maybe Supersense in Vienna then I'll be trying my best to get a portrait done on this magical stuff
This has been, by far, the most exciting episode I have seen! The fact of seeing that instant film stays more alive than ever and Ben shooting 8 x 10 is the ultimate instant film fan dream! I have even started to think about applying for an internship at BFC for learning more about all of you polaroid gurus! I can't be more excited about what's next! Big hug from Milo, Chile! 🇨🇱
Hi, Ben! This is one of my FAVORITE episodes ever! Well done YOU! All of you! Keep it up. Thanks for putting this together for us. I know that there was a lot of planning and logistics that went into this, but you make it look so effortless and easy and fun! And... Lauren SPEAKS!! We finally hear her voice! 💖(PS: Great video work! Great editing!) 👍⚡ Wishing you continued success with your channel and your career!
Allen my man, thank you again for your kind words! It was definitely our most logistically complicated episode and the one with by far the most material to edit in post-production but this labor of love was supremely rewarding! So excited to have it out there. And yes maybe Lauren will speak some more going forward! She seemed to love it this time 😂😂😂
My kingdom for 8x10. Also space for 8x10...film...um...motivation too I guess? Maybe more developing stuff to do it...oh wait also lenses? A sturdy tripod...regular holders, polaroid holders, polaroid processor, polaroid film, and a pack mule to carry it for me.
Much love Noah!! The space in the fridge alone is problematic 😂- it's a big investment, I think we need an official 8x10 installation inside camera stores of every major city so people can experience this!
Sweet and sour 8x10 stuff. Recently, i really hope shoot the KTX train with 8x10 thing. Seriously, it will provide me a whole train picture head-to-end. The funny thing is, the Dr. Edwin Land's first ever instant photo was 8x10 photo.
Wow, that would be SO SICK to shoot with an 8x10! Hope to see your results if you get around to doing that. And you're right on about Land's first shot - everything riding on the line he fired that 8x10 shot and shocked the world.
Haha really good point. The "instant" element has really been redefined in the age of digital. It is now really the inverse of "instant digital." Gotta love it.
Finally, a good channel about instant photography. I literally just discovered your channel and I already watched a ton of your videos. Congrats dude, hugs from Spain
Great video to watch while recovering from Miz Rona. Love your channel 😊 Now im desperate to use some of my remaining 803 original polaroid black and white Film 😍
Oh no, sorry about the Rona!! Best wishes in that recovery and thank you for the kind words! No time like the present to fire off that 803 (after rona).
Oh it’s a beauty! And Ralph I recommend Intrepid Camera, they are hand made to order but what they’re doing is a serious service to the world of large format!
Bro, after I watched your first video, I really wonder why the f, I mean, you must have done horrible things to only have this much subscribes. Keep it going bro, absolutely dig these retro shits out of the grave.
Haha thank you bro!! I guess in some ways Polaroid is a niche of a niche in the analog community, but nevertheless still hoping to continue to grow those subs!
Great video, Thank U! I notice U get a lighter stripe in the middle of the pictures. F.I. 9 minutes and 46 sec and 13.06 into the video. We also get the same result. Do U have a solution to that? We do not use the tray. We use the Model 81-05 holder.
@@InAnInstant you’re welcome! Would love to one day use 8 X 10 Polaroid film, but DAMMMN is the Polaroid stuff expensive! You should cover New 55 film at some point!
@@AeromaticXD I 100% want to cover New55! I will be mentioning them in a video down the road and hopefully when they catch up on their orders I can actually give it a shot.
why not make watery chemicle packs so they last longer? the chemistry still works perfectly fine just don't quite make it to the end. seems like an easy way to extend the shelf life without needing to actually develop more stable chemicles. what if you put them in a humity chamber for a while before shooting? get some more moisture in that pack.
I read the first comment as “mercy” and honestly it still works. I design most of these shirts myself, and the ones (like in this episode) that have no copyrights I could probably put in a simple shop for people who want them!
😂😂 I self-fund these adventures, and the cost of film, etc. I work in this field (directing, editing) so I owned a lot of professional tools and resources coming into this channel, plus the studio which is huge for this. So yeah I spend a lot of my disposable income on this stuff (prob too much 😂) but it’s a passion and I bust my ass 24/7 so I think it’s okay for now lmao
@@InAnInstant Seriously though, everything is done so well. I noticed that the scans of every Polaroid or Instax always seems like the perfect scan, cropped perfectly. The visuals always have perfect continuity. Honestly, I don't think Polaroid could even make a channel as good as yours.
@@Velldog Dude that means so much to hear, I'm all about the details and put a lot of focus and attention to every frame of these videos. So to see that noticed is really appreciated, thank you bro!

Thank you so much Buzz! This stuff truly is WILD
16 minutes of pure magic.
Thank you Vlad! That's my grandfather's name btw (Vladimiro), ya love to see it.

Love the fam! Of course Ms. Brown! And Kyle is awesome :) sweet 8x10 prints 😀
Joanyyy thank you
8x10 is the final frontier for me! Love the video! Brooklyn Film Camera is the best!
Totally agreed about BFC! Hope you get around to shooting some 8x10 too, such a spiritual and heightened analog process!

Yameen you’re the man thank you dude!! Awesome to see your consistent IG username and prof pic on UA-cam feels like I’m trippin
Everything about this video is awesome!!! 😄
You’re awesome!! I’m certifying that right now
This was an especially great ep! 8x10 quality looks amazing. Your folks are so cool!
They can vibe for sure! Appreciate the kind words Tim, def agree about the 8x10 quality - it's stunning really.
So cool, Kyle! What a fun interview and so interesting to see how you craft these great shots!
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG Dream Team 2020! The homies coming together!
Tim!!! So freaking hyped on this, thanks for checking it my man!
So dope!!!! Shooting With some 8x10 would be a experience!!! Just Shooting any film with y’all would be a great experience!!
It's absolutely a beautiful experience, thanks my man!
So happy you finally got to do the 8x10 stuff on here! And like everyone else is saying - 20x24 next!
After COVID I am headed RIGHT to 20x24 and plan to live inside of that camera.
Sweet and sour 8x10 stuff.

Daddio is a stone cold killa! Thanks Micha!!
reallyyy enjoyed this episode, 8x10 is so cool!
Thank you Natasha! 8x10 friggen slaps!
Kinda ironic how the best part of instant photography is the "slow process" of creating an image
Haha really good point. The "instant" element has really been redefined in the age of digital. It is now really the inverse of "instant digital." Gotta love it.
@@InAnInstant yup that's why we shoot
Fantastic ! Great images that blow you away !
Thank you Shahid!
Loved it! 8x10 looks like a lot of fun to shoot. Kyle and everyone looked like they had an amazing time!
It really is such a wild experience on that format, thanks Pete!!
@@InAnInstant I can imagine. Deffo want to get mine and my gf’s portrait done on 8x10 by Brooklyn film camera next time I’m in New York.

Excellent video. I love your purple box/folder too.
Thank you Em! You know I gotta brand it!
As always - a great video Ben! Also, Kyle is the best! Much love for you both 😁
He truly is! We've proved it here. Thanks bro!
Been looking forward to this episode since insta stories!
Aweeee! YES! WE LOVE KYLE!
The GOAT!!
Fascinating. Great shots. All gear I will never get to use, alas.
11:25 one of the best family portraits I've ever seen. Kudos
Thank you Darryl! We were just having an all-out blast at that point 😂
this channel is such a gem so glad I found it
Thanks for the love TC!!
Kyle over here flexing his gold SX-70! 😂
I would too if I had one.... 😭
Lmao flex'em if you got'em
I loved this 🥰
Thank you Monica!!
The fans around to enjoy viewing this video through the ground glass of their hearts! Terrific work and collab. #LorenNeedsHerOwnSegmentOnTheShow
Couldn’t have said it better myself, and she needs that segment STAT
@@InAnInstant I could have said it better lol "fans around" ??? What was I saying!? Fans around the world? Maybe
I was able to decode it straight to the heartfelt message haha
So R A D!!! Such a unique set of family photos. 🖤🖤🖤

This channel is awesome! Very nice video. It's so pro and nicely filmed!
Appreciate the kind words Danik!
That was HUGE !!! (Literally) one of my fav episodes!! (Y)
Thank you FLEKZ!
Absolutely amazing.
Lauren's new do, I'm here for it
She’s absolutely ROCKING this!! Will pass on the good word
Loving that black and white...,. When they gonna start mass production of these 8x10 cameras?
Oh it’s a beauty! And Ralph I recommend Intrepid Camera, they are hand made to order but what they’re doing is a serious service to the world of large format!
man. i really really like this channel

You'll be blackout by the end of the vid!!
great episode
So cute and so fun.
Yoooo when we gonna get the Big 4 Business sticker/patch?
Haha I promise something to that effect is coming soon!!
Well, now I know where the last batch of 8x10 went
😂😂😂
This was very unexpected 0-0
I've tried to have the whole channel be unexpected - even from the first episode 😂😂😂
I’m April 27th, yeeeee!
Oh wow MASSIVE SHOUTOUT to my April folks out there 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Great video, Thank U! I notice U get a lighter stripe in the middle of the pictures. F.I. 9 minutes and 46 sec and 13.06 into the video. We also get the same result. Do U have a solution to that? We do not use the tray. We use the Model 81-05 holder.
I’m considering buying an 81-05 holder; however I’ve read the 81-06 is easier to manage and wanted to get your take on which is preferable. Thanks.
The 81-06 works with the tray, which is easier to use with the new integral version of the 8x10.
:D pure fun.
This helped me not want desperately to get an 8x10 not at all.
It couldn’t possibly have had that effect!!
Your dad looks hella cool.

Very cool video

Mrs. Claire! "Nestle in the Grooves" will be on my upcoming Spotify Exclusive EP "Benny Goes Viral" - All aboard the corker express!!
What processor is used? Is it available for purchase?
Is it bad that after watching this, I kind of really want to have an 8 by 10 portrait taken of me?
It's not bad, it's ABSOLUTELY THE WAY

Large format person? Does not peel apart?
Hi! I get every time some frozen flower forms in the corners of my i type film. How comes?
Hi Dave, that is a problem with your rollers putting a bit too much pressure on your film as it ejects. I recommend a good cleaning!
I'd wear a "big for business" t-shirt. Just sayin...
Coming TOMORROW!
A mirror would help inverse the image...
I'm surprised Ben hasn't ran into Willem Verbeck, he did a 8x10 Polaroid session with Brooklyn Film Camera.
