great film. I recognise the noise at 2:20 so well
Its a wonderful project, its great to see somebody giving life to pictures that seemingly were destined never to be seen, but quite apart from that element of the video, there's this film affinity thing going on.
Shooting pictures is a shareable occupation, you can go out as a group, with a friend or whatever and be a part of a shared experience, but developing and/or printing is such a solitary part of the process, we don't really get to watch somebody else doing it, I mean we talk about it, we describe what we are doing on forums and whatever, watch a few convoluted youtube vids, but, I dunno......I was watching him with that big tank and thinking, that's the same size as mine, yawl need to keep a hold of it cos its a heavy thing with 1.5 liters of chems in it, he looked as awkward as I feel using it, thats it, check the lid after every agitation....lol
Then he goes and splits the reel to get the film off, never done that in a thousand rolls....ever.....and its sat there waiting to twang on the floor and get covered in cat hair, dust and sock cotton.
And the thing when you first take the reels out out of the tank, to not count your chickens looking at the foggy grey film still on the spool is a learned approach, you have to have done a few rolls to accumulate enough failures that not counting chickens becomes natural.
I need to get a tall chair to sit on in front of my sink
