Walking while photographing is the best way to make pictures. Senses are sharper, thoughts clearer, feelings deeper, dreams are better. And really lovely work, too.
Haven't shot it myself yet. Haven't watched this video yet. But yes, It IS worth it. Anything to support new film stocks and those who continue to produce them!!
But it's not new stock. You aren't supporting anything other than their business of taking already existing products and upping the price. They are nothing but a middle-man. If you want to support the film industry, you should see if any local stores are re-spooling and developing ECN-2 process Kodak 250D (what this film is)
@@SAGGING_GUT It's new in that they are creating something readily available for people to shoot. Oh yes, that "local" shop would respools ECN-2 process Kodak 250D, that doesn't exist or cost way more. It's about making film stock more accessible to everyone, while offering something different. You can argue the semantics of "new" or "different" all you want, but you miss the bigger picture.
I like the color scheme of this new film stock, it has those classic halations, but a lot more subtle, which I like. Also I got my copy of ‘From the Sunny Side of the Street’ this week and I’m enjoying it a lot!
Just a heads up, if you like those subtle halations, Tilden has made an offshoot of their diffusion filters called GlitterGlass that is spot on at strength level 1. Not that you asked lol
@@AbsintheMindedV2 do you mean Tiffen and not Tilden? Also, pretty sure it is glimmer glass and not Glitter Glass? if you provide info, please ,make sure it is at least accurate
It's most certainly another modified film of Kodak. They probably get the film delivered without the remjet now - translated into "not a repackaged motion picture film". It looks very similar to the Kodak Vision3 250D. Which can be had for $5 if you look around. Beats Portra all the way
I mean they might pretty much get all their film that way now. They have had their own edge markings done by Kodak for a while, so it would be strange if that would not go in hand with Kodak just omitting the remjet application as well.
I agree, even if the look is not that similar, behaves like a 250D. Knowing that EVERY (maybe almost) Cinestill item is a rebranded product from another company, I don’t have doubts that is Kodak
I have a fun idea: dslr or mirrorless scanning has become a very popular alternative to scanning film, so, what if you take a photo of another photo with film? Like, you scan a negative with your slr.. I mean, negative with negative=positive right? It would be interesting to see what that would look like, though its probably just a waste of money
I’m not sure if you mean duplicating a digital image (some form of light box display?) or film on film. If the latter some of us have been doing that for decades! Either to have back ups before the digital age (I used to send duplicates to the Image Libraries that I sold to:through way back when) , to increase contrast and saturation and to change tonality etc by copying, say Ektachrome onto Velvia.
I naturally assumed this was 250D with the remjet removed. The higher ISO rating would be consistent with 800T, which is 500T. It does vaguely have a look of 250D.... did you have to cancel cyan out of the shadows when scanning? Nice film regardless.
It isn't 250D with the remjet removed, but it is 250D without remjet. They've gotten big enough to pay Kodak to deliver the film to them without applying the remjet at all. Hence the ambigous language on the website. Still 250D though :-) Which is good, cause it's a really nice film! Hopefully it will also result in better quality film with less scratches and such.
@@mynewcolour If you can deal with the remjet, it's a wonderful film. Tons of latitude and punchy colours. Kinda like a cross between Ektar and Portra. I like it a lot!
@@WillemVerb Really happy to hear that. I am still sort of upset this has halations. I think it's a misstep. Halations are a defect, and 400D is supposed to be a professional film. Its especially disappointing because CineStill says, "400D is specifically designed for still photography." Still photography film has antihalation layers built in that clear in bleach. To be clear, I love 50D and 800T, but Halations are not something I always want.
@@lachlanchester8142 Apparently, it is out because Willem is shooting with it. And when I backed the early bird on March 22, the order confirmation said: "Order will ship after all items are available in Apr, 2022." And when I contacted Cinestill yesterday (May 3) to follow up they said: "delays outside our control have delayed stock from arriving at our warehouse." So, yeah...
I don't know what time you wake up in the morning, but if you get up early and go to take pictures on this film, you will see that the morning light will change its color palette.
I 've shot with 50D before. Hate that halation with daylight film. Tungsten film looks okay with it. For the price, I 'd rather shoot with Vision 3 or Silbersalz 250D.
You were in my neighborhood! Visit Rancho Palos Verdes next time! The Glass Chapel is beautiful and photogenic and Abalone Cove is beautiful during sunset :)
Love how much beauty you find in monotony, or everyday scenes. I find it so hard to convince myself to shoot a picture on film, but you inspire me to do the opposite thank you.
I don't believe Cinestill one bit. They are a marketing company, not a film company. And I'm definitely not turning any of my cameras into lamps. LAMP.
400D’s colors look like 800T‘s when you shoot that in daylight with an 85 filter. CineStill are weirdly vague about the origin of the film. I don’t think it’s a new emulsion. They never said it’s a new emulsion. And it wouldn’t make sense either. Why would that look so much like 800T with an 85 filter then. The Vision3 films all have very similar looks to each other. And it’s also incredibly hard to make a new color negative emulsion. To make it look this much like C41 processed Vision3 would mean they’d did a whole lot of reverse engineering. Also you have to note somewhere in your videos or your description how the negs were scanned. 50% of the look of color neg film is display prep and if you don’t say that we’re to able to meaningfully evaluate the look of a film. It’s important to know what scanner was used, with that settings if there were any that might strongly influence the look and what else was done to the pictures.
I think is obiviously 250D with remjet pre-removed(or never applied) by kodak. Using c41 process will not get the most out of these motion picture film since c41 is using cd-4 instead of the cd-3 in ecn2 chemical, thus giving colors different to the original 250D. It will also screw up the balance in c41 chemical and affect the color of other films processed in later batches(according to the tests done by one of my local lab). People should push labs around the world to do ecn-2 process so that we can shoot cheap kodak vision3 motion picture films. I've shot loads of 250D in the past 6 months and was extremely happy with the result, basically a portra pro version with more strict requirement of light control.
Ok. I'll bite. I don't believe that processing this film will screw up chemicals. I work at a lab and when this starts showing up in masse, I'll run many control strips to see if there is any visible difference. I doubt we'll see it. Especially with proper replenishment you are replacing a large amount of developer in short order. 40ml/roll if memory serves and my machine runs 7x35mm per rack. We already process a lot of 50D and 800T. Especially last month with the Color film shortage. There was a time a good 40% of our developed film was 50D or 800T and we didn't see any densitometry shifts on our control strips. Nothing outside the margin of error, or something that couldn't be explained by another process issue, which we are constantly fine tuning.
@@GregoryVeizades With proper relenishment and constant check of control strips sure it will not be a huge enough difference to be visible to customer side, but realistically not all labs are doing those. My point is that processing these motion picture fims in c41 will always be less ideal than ecn2. Unless someone is using those as art fims.
You make me rethink the way I see the environment in which I live. I've gone to San Pedro and the Korean Friendship bell on multiple occasions and have never seen it the way I just saw in your images. This is a big eye opener.
So you ran into my old coworker Mike, in San Pedro. Did he tell you he was a photographer? I can totally see him yelling jokes at you. When we were out shooting jobs, people would ask us to take their photo. He would always reply: " Sorry, I didn't bring my ugly filter." Good that you and some young folks are shooting film still. Personally, after all these years, I love digital. Having worked in color labs processing and color correcting a variety of films, the look of the film you tried is like nails on a blackboard - I spent too much time trying to correct issues with off brand film. As you said, the look is neat, but not on everything. Keep up experimenting! That's the fun part.
Will, you can't show a second of some random peacock roamimg around an LA neighborhood and not make some kind of joke about standing out from everyone else.
@@bakir3120 Exactly.. he's walking around with 3 other white dudes and they don't look like a threat. So he can get away with literally FILMING and taking pictures of peoples homes. This style of photography is so fuckin over-hyped and so overdone its crazy lol. This is the shit that gets the likes and comments though... and don't get wrong I don't mind this style of photography every once and a while, but some people have made this their entire photography catalog. I just don't understand the appeal of taking pictures of peoples homes lol. And what's crazy is these same photographers label us street photographers as weird. Anyhow it does infuriate me when I see these white dudes posting these videos of them in random neighborhoods walking around taking pictures and it hurts knowing I can't do that as a black man but he can do this and nobody bats an eye lol. I can't tell you how many times I've seen a neighborhood I've wanted to photograph or seen a nice quiet scene some place while driving but because of my skin color I don't have the luxury of being able to just get out and walk around. I might get the cops called on me and of course we all know how that could end. But anyways that's america for ya.
Has someone made darkroom prints with this stock? What's the magenta and yellow filter settings you are working from? I am asking because the film base looks of a completely different color than that of Kodak stocks. Thanks in advance!
Cinestill 400D is only worth it if Cinestill gets off their ass and actually gets the film into the hands of those who paid for it up front!!! I bought some 400D back in mid-March 2022 as part of their kickstarter campaign and here it is July 29th and my goddamn film hasn't even shipped yet. I reached out to Cinestill in May and was told that the order I thought I placed as an early bird order was not, and that my film would be shipping in July. Then about a week ago, I asked why I have not yet gotten any information about when my film was shipping. Cinestill told me that all non-early bird orders should be shipping sometime later in the summer, and they appreciate my patience as they're dealing with logistical issues outside their control. I call bullshit on Cinestill for dragging this out. I'm very disappointed at the wait time, and now I'm not expecting my film before September. I'm not inclined to ever order another Cinestill product.
Not sure about this film. Too many too strange colors…definitely not an allrounder. While this yellow-reddish casts might be acceptable in Californian sun, it might look terrible under different conditions. Would have loved to see more portraitures. Many thanks for providing!
I really can’t get over the fact that the light is always so beautiful around where you live. Can someone tell me if it’s always this way or does he show only good days 😂😂
I mean your editing is first class so it hard to tell for me if this film is so special. The results are amazing I think anyhow. So it should not be a bad choice.
I was hoping you'd make your way to the Friendship Bell at some point since you moved out! The new stock looks like a trip, the colors pop in a really interesting way.
Can't wait to get mine! Looks like a fun summer film. Love the vid and the photos, as usual~ it's funny seeing peacocks just roaming around freely in the neighbourhood 😂
I recently purchased a roll of Amber 400D which I assume is the same thing as Cinestill 400D. If it is, then I’m definitely looking forward to shooting it
If you don't want your photos to have a film look then why don't you just shoot digital? It would seem that if you are shooting film that you want it to have the look of film (saturated like Velvia, tight grain like Tri-X, almost no grain like Adox 25, etc). One picks a particular film generally because of its distinctive color/contrast look. I don't shoot Portra most of the time because it really is a portrait looking film. When I shoot color film, it is generally Ektar. When I want a more sterile, no grain , all in focus look I shoot digital. But maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment about not shooting film to get a film look?
i think he means he wants to shoot film but he prefers a more neutral-looking film, like portra, rather than a film stock that is very distinctive, like kodak gold or velvia or, in this case, cinestill 400d
I wasnt able to get 400D looking for a 400H alternative and this popped out nice video~ unfortunately its 15$ which is quite expensive derpy "its something when you see it" ooooh! That is quote of the day
I’m happy I didn’t pre-order this at its launch. It seems offensive that Cinestill is selling this at a premium. It renders colors so flatly like decades old expired film plus some halation. Good video nonetheless.
It may also be in Willems shooting and editing process, like every film lab delivers different scans. I wouldn't consider it offensive if no one knows the cost of production
@@soza.pidgeon Willem isn’t new to film photography. I surmise that his photos are true to the stock’s colors just like they are when he shoots Portra. As for the pricing, this renders colors poorly for a stock that costs just as much if not more per roll than professionally graded stocks. Those are just facts.
Since I am an adaptive photographer, I do photo rolls in my wheelchair. And yes, my Canon L1 goes along for the ride. And it's Canon (Leica Screw Mount) 50 mm/f2.8 lens.
not a fan of this judging by this video. the range seems to be pretty poor (highlights are looking overexposed a lot). also, maybe it's because youre using a new camera but i felt a lot of these photos werent very sharp and kinda lazy compositionally. no hate, been a subscriber for 2 years, im just used to you making a lot better photos

It's most certainly another modified film of Kodak. They probably get the film delivered without the remjet now - translated into "not a repackaged motion picture film". It looks very similar to the Kodak Vision3 250D. Which can be had for $5 if you look around. Beats Portra all the way

Hard disagree on it beating Portra.
It’s not a Kodak film. Nor is it close to Portra.
I agree, even if the look is not that similar, behaves like a 250D. Knowing that EVERY (maybe almost) Cinestill item is a rebranded product from another company, I don’t have doubts that is Kodak

I mean your editing is first class so it hard to tell for me if this film is so special. The results are amazing I think anyhow. So it should not be a bad choice.
I barely did any editing! Just slight contrast adjustments.
I was hoping you'd make your way to the Friendship Bell at some point since you moved out! The new stock looks like a trip, the colors pop in a really interesting way.
Willem is definitely in his flower photography phase😂... The "portal" one is my fav out of the lot👍
this looks like gold with halations.
Cinestill got the vibes
When are bags restocking !!? I ordered mine ages ago not knowing they’re on back order ); I also got a strap that I’m dying to throw on my camera
Several of theses images remind me of the work of Henry Wessel. The image tones remind me of Kodachrome II.
At 2:29, Sometimes you come across the most baffling moments that only the originator understands.
To me this looks like expired gold 400!!
Tobacco is a perfect word to describe the colors. I think they should put that on the box.
My order didnt come in. Did you get tracking number? Which package didnyou get?
its almost like you are being sarcastic with the whole walking thing😂 but no I get it the slower I go the more I'm able to see
Can't wait to get mine! Looks like a fun summer film. Love the vid and the photos, as usual~ it's funny seeing peacocks just roaming around freely in the neighbourhood 😂
will you test the medium format version of this film stock when it comes out?
I just got a roll of this film, and I want to get some background on it before I shoot it.
What flash is that?
this^^?
Reminds me of somewhere between Gold 200 and Ultramax 400
I’ve been on 2/4 of the ships of the same class as the one you got a photo of.
I’m a big fan of 50D, can’t wait to try this one
San Pedro my home town I miss it I been meaning to go back and take shots too
Do you think you’ll ever do a video about shooting on 35mm film for…. A film????
I recently purchased a roll of Amber 400D which I assume is the same thing as Cinestill 400D. If it is, then I’m definitely looking forward to shooting it
Yoooo every pic was amazing but that freakin flash photo in the car was nutssss🤯
OH YEEAAAHHHH!!! NEW WILLEM VIDEO 😩🕺✨
vision3 250D
If you don't want your photos to have a film look then why don't you just shoot digital? It would seem that if you are shooting film that you want it to have the look of film (saturated like Velvia, tight grain like Tri-X, almost no grain like Adox 25, etc). One picks a particular film generally because of its distinctive color/contrast look. I don't shoot Portra most of the time because it really is a portrait looking film. When I shoot color film, it is generally Ektar. When I want a more sterile, no grain , all in focus look I shoot digital. But maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment about not shooting film to get a film look?
i think he means he wants to shoot film but he prefers a more neutral-looking film, like portra, rather than a film stock that is very distinctive, like kodak gold or velvia or, in this case, cinestill 400d
I wasnt able to get 400D looking for a 400H alternative and this popped out nice video~ unfortunately its 15$ which is quite expensive derpy
"its something when you see it" ooooh! That is quote of the day
I’m happy I didn’t pre-order this at its launch. It seems offensive that Cinestill is selling this at a premium. It renders colors so flatly like decades old expired film plus some halation. Good video nonetheless.
It may also be in Willems shooting and editing process, like every film lab delivers different scans. I wouldn't consider it offensive if no one knows the cost of production
@@soza.pidgeon Willem isn’t new to film photography. I surmise that his photos are true to the stock’s colors just like they are when he shoots Portra. As for the pricing, this renders colors poorly for a stock that costs just as much if not more per roll than professionally graded stocks. Those are just facts.
I hope you all saw the post on r/analogcommunity about this video.
video starts at 12:21
Dang it
Good that I've backed this stuff
Y would u like a red cast on all of ur photos tbh?
Since I am an adaptive photographer, I do photo rolls in my wheelchair. And yes, my Canon L1 goes along for the ride. And it's Canon (Leica Screw Mount) 50 mm/f2.8 lens.
WoW, thank you. I’ve never shoot this film before. I’m just curious, what lens did you use in this video?
not a fan of this judging by this video. the range seems to be pretty poor (highlights are looking overexposed a lot). also, maybe it's because youre using a new camera but i felt a lot of these photos werent very sharp and kinda lazy compositionally. no hate, been a subscriber for 2 years, im just used to you making a lot better photos
i hate the focal length on that lens
Damn,,, can't believe you were in my neighborhood and I didn't know! San Pedro has some crazy good views, right!? Hope to run into you some day.
