Great video, one little thing, although Instax is not Polaroid, Instax is an evolution of Fujifilm's Packfilm format that was based on Kodak's which was famously defeated in court for violating Polaroids patents. Fujifilm until circa 2008 was only allowed to sell their Instant photography products domestically in Japan due to this conflict, and after the original Polaroid company(not the new one that which its branding has been acquired and revived years later) stopped producing Instant film, Fujifilm was able to export it's own Instant film internationally. All this to say, although it's not a 1-1, the process is very similar if not almost the same, thus the reason why some photographers still refer to the Instax format as a polaroid.
Thank you for the comment! That's much more in depth then I went. I get why people still call them Polaroids, but this was a great explanation and helped me understand even more!
