I think is safe to say that Rollei Crossbird is the most badass name for a film stock out there. It also conjures images of someone crossing their arms and flipping me off with both hands. Crossing the bird, if you will. The shots look sick!
Hands down my dude you're my favorite photographer! For the past few months ive fallen out of love with photography 😔 major self doubt and imposter syndrome but your videos have really helped me to pick up the camera again. Thank you Grainydays if I ever get half as good as you, I'll be one content human ❤
I’ve just finished watching every single one of these here grainy days. Even that hour long Iceland one, with too many waterfalls. And the ‘interviews’. (Meaningful look to camera.) In some alternate universe, there’s a whole channel with Ten Questions victims. When you find that particular wormhole, pull me in. So anyway, thank you Jason. I need to go sell my furniture. Film will never die. It’ll just keep eating people’s souls, and living in the shadows. As I now will, also. Peace. I love you.
"Super orange-yellow crunchy dried cat-piss vibe". You've the literary skills of Joyce, Hemingway, and Shakespeare. Just kidding. But you're definitely a master of snark, something I highly value. And that transition to the Squarespace plug? WhooEee. Must have taken hours to think that up.
I have been using Crossbird for many years and still have a stash in the freezer. As you point out, this is a E-6 film, not C-41. When it first came out, it was marketed as an E-6 film and was not called Crossbird. I looked for any old canisters of it to get the specifics of the original packaging, but could not find any. My suspicion is that sales were originally poor, so Rollei rebranded it. Many people are afraid of E-6 as they believe it is "hard to use". Also, cross processing is a real hipster sort of thing. As for the film with the yellow cast you like, it was sold under various names. Lomography repackaged it and it was also sold as ReraChrome. I have a bunch of the ReraChrome as it was one of the few films available in 127. More power to you if you like it. I shoot it with a blue color correcting filter which gets rid of the cap piss vibe.
Was wanting a proper demonstration of crossbird in e6. It's about half the price of any other slide film in the UK. Only problem is it will be even harder to find now
@3:49 It's more amazing that any of us film geeks ever managed to get laid, let alone find a girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse. Seriously, loved the shots and your in-video spot for Square Space makes Rudy Giuliani's UFO/MyPillow/MyBlanket/MySlippers spot look like an effort from Four Seasons Landscaping. I shot Agfachrome back in the days when I had hair, and I'm going to look for some at my local thrift shops. I expect it will be five dollars. Andy
Rollei also has Chrome CR 200, which I know is old Agfa slide film (Agfa RSX II 200). I wonder if it is the same stock as Crossbird? In any case, nearly all of the current Rollei film stocks are just rebranded Agfa films, whether it is colour or black and white film.
This could be expired Fuji Sensia film, which was super popular to cross process. It looks exactly like crossbird in C41 and was also re-branded as Agfa Precisa after Agfa went down.
Cool vid I use to shoot Agfa 200 Chrome... it has a very cool look, the colours are mute, more illustrative in look... also Konica 200 E6 centuria was a very cool color rich film... back in the day there were many stocks... all gone now. But Im interested in this Rollei Crossbird as its still available in NZ ...Thanks for the vid
Bro..never change!! hahaahahha I love your videos! Thank for never taking this shit too real. You're an okay photographer (kidding, you suck!) Kidding kidding, your awesome
I liked the shots. An interesting palette. And yes, the Fuji blimp is cool. But on to important things. Baxter is okay, right? I mean he's not sick or anything, right?
Hey, I have a question about these awesome parallax effect images at the end of your videos. What kind of sorcery is this? Do you use a specific AE plugin?
Baxter needs to stop letting his cameraman/editor appear so much in his videos.
Baxter's appearences:
- NONE 00:14
Our hearts are break...
See ya next time.
Thanks a lot bitch
Easiest unsubscribe I've ever done.
Just Unwatched the whole video
@@hi_c.v7289 be careful
I love how the only print available is the toilet one, the best one of course
I love the part where it looks like you are taking a picture of the girl and then the camera pans to the umbrella
Umbrella perv.
This is some of your best work to date. Your composition is great.

Solid as always! Also I am in favor of bringing the Fuji Blimp back.
The entire set of images here are insaneo style. Love how the blues balance the golden light, and that sharpness 👌
Dry humor is the best humor. Thank you.
7:00 ah yes. Technically part of Jason's signature "Toilet Photography"
i knew there'd be another grainydays episode today i could feel it in my balls
mine tooooo
They were tingling all day
@@Chris_vK thats too far weirdchamp
feel you
it feels good...
That roll of Rollei Variochrome in my fridge is probably the rarest thing I own
No Baxter = no like. JKjkjk this video was killer as always Jason! Beautiful images!

hey! do you recommend shooting at 100 or 200? package says 100 if developed in E-6. 🤔
I find your videos way more interesting than Verbeeck's, you still the LA grainy hotshot 😍
such beautiful photos. 😍 i've been trying to get the 35mm version for 2 years. now i want crossbird even more!
Hey, glad to see you got around to doing this one! Sorry for getting your hopes up. I still have to shoot my second roll some time..
Oh thank you god for another grainydays video
These are some of your best photos
I’m a simple man; Jason posts, I click.
Was wanting a proper demonstration of crossbird in e6. It's about half the price of any other slide film in the UK. Only problem is it will be even harder to find now
That effect at the end was so dope

Love Leo Carrillo 👌🏽
Leo Carillo loves you
I’ve never been more interested in the chemical science behind developing film than right now, thank you
6:11 the guy in the water being sus lol
i love the shots from this film and what you did in the processing
11:18 reminds me very much of edward hopper
Rollei also has Chrome CR 200, which I know is old Agfa slide film (Agfa RSX II 200). I wonder if it is the same stock as Crossbird?
In any case, nearly all of the current Rollei film stocks are just rebranded Agfa films, whether it is colour or black and white film.
I just found some rolls in the older packaging. It was called Rollei Chrome CR 200.
You’re a credit to your craft dude! Really love watching your videos.
Lol'd hard at that guy taking a dump. But then I looked down and I realised _I_ am taking a sh*t too. Damn you
The Fuji Blimp is an essential to the grainydays brand
Looks like Ektachrome shot through a really yellowed Pentax 67's 105mm radioactive lens
yo that ending animation, I see you 👀 so sick!
This could be expired Fuji Sensia film, which was super popular to cross process.
It looks exactly like crossbird in C41 and was also re-branded as Agfa Precisa after Agfa went down.
Like every other video, I now want to buy a medium format camera. Plus that film
Also I gotta say, I love your remarks with the sort of monotone voice!
Bro I was just there on Tuesday! Went to El Matador then Nicholas beach. Love the sunsets there
"Everything good in life is a double stroke."
Enough said.......
me: YEAH, new Grainydays video
also me at 0:14: Let's get the fuck out of here
I slammed my iPad 38 times when Jason said no Baxter, you owe me a new iPad Jason I don’t make the rules
As Confucius said “When a wise man points at the moon, Jason shoots the finger” 😆
I’m glad you finally tried it.
It’s always nice to watch a grainydays vid
That hector guy has some great photos on his Instagram 👌
6:22 I like this!!!!
messes up metering...exposes film at box speed for first time ever...lol Enjoyed the vid as always!
yesss I've been waiting for this. Thanks homie
Edit: 6:10 croc shot
Cool vid

shouts out to eBay, savior of all things cheap and weird for photography
Chris is totally secretly Jack Antonoff! I'd put my money on it!
Dis the Groove
“Everything good in life is a double stroke.” Very wise words
i jumped when he swung the camera.
don’t scare me like that man.
“Everything good in life is a double stroke.” Best advice given by grainydays.
It’s kinda cool that we can see your ankles in almost every video.
Watching this just while waiting for my first Crossbird come back from its E6 bath. Curious to see if it comes looking any similar to yours.
Finally, I have been waiting for this for a long time...
The dude sitting on the cliff with crocs on looks like Diplo.
Yes he's back!
Anyone notice Jason's watch @ 2:53 ? His watch is just like his cameras: vintage, analog, and beautiful.
this video made me buy guava la Croix and I can confirm its good at filling the void created when baxter isn't in the video
This video made me want to shoot again. It's been a few weeks. Great content as always.
Rollei suggests shooting at iso 100 if you want that orange look.
So glad Logic made to the thumbnail
Mumford and Son's x grainydays coming soon? 👀
Didn’t even miss Baxter “the magical potato unicorn”.
Major wristwatch flexing 3:00
The Makina is back :D
I thought the look was cool. Only issue now is the E6 processing, like hear in Tx you have no options. Gotta send it to Denver
« baxter doesn’t appear in this video »
Me: okay I’m leaving
Killing it
Bro..never change!! hahaahahha I love your videos! Thank for never taking this shit too real. You're an okay photographer (kidding, you suck!) Kidding kidding, your awesome
I liked the shots. An interesting palette. And yes, the Fuji blimp is cool. But on to important things. Baxter is okay, right? I mean he's not sick or anything, right?
I LOVE THE FUJI BLIMP, also, great pics 👌
Yo, it's always nice to see your videos.
More videos plss. I am in lockdown and only you videos can cure my boredom :D
It's pronounced "Roll-eye" or "Roll-i" btw. Awesome video as always!
My Rollei Crossbird done in E6 looked nothing like Variochrome tbh.
DQ shot at 9:53 is insane.
I used Provia expired in 2007 once and it had really similar results
Seems like a cool film stock
How I wish to have purchased more of Variochrome 😞
What I don't understand is why someone would be a Chronograph watch without any actual marking on it. WTF man. BTW love your videos. 👌✔😀
Well, at 0:15 I knew this video was over.
new grainydays video? say less
🔥🔥🔥
Still can't believe you wore your shirt inside out that whole time. 😂
Hey, I have a question about these awesome parallax effect images at the end of your videos. What kind of sorcery is this? Do you use a specific AE plugin?
11:19 has someone shot ektarchrome with a warming filter? If so, were the results similar to this?
01:06 c'mon man that's Luke Skywalker 😂😂
7:18 no it’s warm
Please release the guava La Croix review next.
those rocks look like toffee
i personally hated cross bird - cross processed in c41 - just turned out a green mess - too grainy. E6 is the way unless you like peas......
set my expectations low my ass 😩
