Extremely impressive, it honestly brought the immersion of being filmed at least a couple decades ago until I saw the 6 feet apart sign at the very end.
There really is some indefinable quality of grain and light to film that makes my heart ache. It is almost like looking at the world I grew up in transplanted into an alternate present where history went differently and film remained a high art and a ghostly record of a very different and more human place.
I feel that. Film to me will always have a transporting quality, where as digital feels too close to reality. Not to mention that film will always capture colors more accurately because of it being a chemical process so there’s something to True tones instead of manufactured ones. Just my thoughts. It’s definitely my favorite art medium.
I love ektachrome especially on greens it always gets the best greens out of any filmstock, colors pop and are really vibrant and nice. I also love neon on signs or colors on signs on ektachrome they pop out and jump out at you.
Stunningly beautiful! There is still no substitute for real film and a skilled cinematographer. Your Bolex is of course Super 16 modded. What a great format!
Wow what an amazing little film! Everything is great: the compositions, the content, the sound and the music. It give the video a great and powerful mood. You really created a masterpiece! Keep up with your work, it's quite impressive! :)
Viewing this from Ireland (which has many beautiful places) but there's a majesty and bigger scale to the landscapes in states like Wyoming and Montana - and you make a great case for film - and not to overlook that it's the person behind the camera - "watching out for the light" - that's all important - well done !!
Thanks so much! I agree I’ve also been to Ireland years ago. There’s just some sort of charm the west brings with its huge landscapes and hometown culture. Film was a no brainer for this project because it needed a timeless feel to it! Thanks for the support.
Amazed at this footage, It is so beautiful I can't believe it. Just bought a 16mm and hope I can produce the same feelings in my shots. Great work man !
@@taylorwerfelmann I bought the krasnogorsk3 for quite cheap. I fell like its a good started for now as I have no experience with motion picture. You got an insta for your work btw ?
My girlfriend is a pro videographer/photographer and wants to start using film. She sent me this video and we’re inspired by the authenticity and personal touch that goes into film. We also want to see Utah and Wyoming like this. Thanks for posting
16mm film produces the most beautiful images I've ever seen. My dreams are in 16mm. If I could buy a pair of glasses that like, filtered my vision so that everything looked like 16mm, the only way they're coming off is when you peel them from my corpse.
@@taylorwerfelmann nice! That’s what I have too. Any tips for metering / lighting for my first roll of film through my new h16? Do you just set the iso to match the films and meter normally like for 35mm?
@@HunterSkowronPDXsweet! Ya I do. I basically try to meter for the mid tones if that helps. That light meter especially can be tough to use because it’s not a spot meter. I take a lot of time and care to find the mid-tone and meter for that. Or try metering different light in the scene and then shoot it somewhere in the middle depending on what you’re looking for. I’m always overexposing when in doubt. Easier to save in post.
Hi Taylor, thanks for sharing these incredible places with us, you have chosen amazing lights too. May I ask you which film did you use it for? About lenses... maybe Switar Rx lenses? Thanks a lot, Francesco from Italy
Hey Francesco! I appreciate that! I’m glad to share it! I used Kodak 250D and 500T for the nighttime stuff. I forget the lenses. It was a rental camera!
Lovely video ! I really like the effect at 2:39 with the red and the blue, can someone please tell me how to do it ? Or is it just like a film glitch ? Thank you :)
I suggest scanning at a very high digital resolution, like 5k, and uploading it at frame doubled 1440p (48fps) if you want the film "texture" to be appreciable despite youtube's compression.
Thanks Kami! I used premiere and my good friends “wedding lut” that he sells on his site called lutcompany.com highlyyy recommend it. I use the lut as a base for every project.
Thanks Dennis! Ya I played it safe and did in total darkness. But if you are having light leaks it could be a million different things. A lot of those cameras leak out of the cover of the film holder. Lot of guys tape up ever edge. I didn’t do that but obviously the one I used leaked with the final night footage so 🤷🏼♂️ I always go with better safe then sorry.
I actually just rented it for two weeks. It was a Bolex h16 converted to s16. Check out brae hunziker, he has a great tutorial on TH-cam for shooting 16mm
This was not just a travel film, This was a piece of art
Wow thank you so much!
Extremely impressive, it honestly brought the immersion of being filmed at least a couple decades ago until I saw the 6 feet apart sign at the very end.
Thank you!! I appreciate it. And lol true
0:11 Hoooo leeeee what a shot.
Haha thanks Etienne!
Some of these shots are utterly breathtaking! They feel unreal almost like you’re looking at a painting.
Wow, thank you!
damn this feels so nostalgic

On my knees. I feel jealous of this astonishing and peaceful nature footage. Beautiful North America.
Wow thank you! North America is insanely beautiful. Blessed to live here
This is one of the most underrated video on TH-cam.
Wow thank u so much!!
@@taylorwerfelmann No, thank you. The video is absolutely stunning.
@@jonesbbq307 well I appreciate that. Hoping to make more videos like this in the future

Beautiful film. Some of those mountain shots look like Remington paintings.
Thank you! 16mm film takes the cake!
Love this!!!
Thanks Jen!!! ❤️

Absolute beauty. As a native Montanan, this brings me great joy!

Great motion picture , what camera 🎥 you shot on this video. ..?
This is so well done! The visuals are incredible and the atmosphere you created with the sound design is so immersive
Thank you Matt!! Hoping to make another film like this one soon!
Absolutely gorgeous!!
Thanks Joe!

Wow che bello 👏
What makes this great is that you didn't wave the camera around. Good work.
Haha. Something about a steady shot with atmospheric sounds just hits right.
@@taylorwerfelmann Also, I used live out there, sigh.
This is just beautiful.
Thanks!!
Makes me want to travel there
You should! It’s an incredible place!
Holy cow. So good man.
Haha thank you so much! Means a lot!
That first landscape shot is insane! I mean the whole video is great but damn! Do you remember what lens you used on that?
Thanks man! Ya I believe it was a 16mm or 24mm
Awesome video man, and thank you for sharing it! :) God bless!
God bless! My pleasure!!
that was beautiful. Makes me want to grab my K-3 and get out
Do it! Wish I had one sitting around haha
this video is a hidden gem, awesome work, loved it
thank you! That means a lot
Insanely good
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Very beautiful!
Thank you!!
The Bolex really has a nice image. It's a pity for the red flashes that look like light leaks from the sides. Magazine sealing problem?
It really does. And I’m not sure sure. All the images on the 500t had that but it was the last roll I shot on the trip so 🤷🏼♂️
This was amazing. Really loved this! Could you please tell me the name of the lake at 0:22? Seems like an incredible place. Thanks!
Hey thank you!! It’s called McDonald lake in Glacier national park :)
this is some gorgeous work!!!
Thanks so much!
Magnifique !
This is incredible
Thank you!!
This is beautiful :)
Thanks man!! Love the west
Stunning. A dream. How much did it cost to buy the film and develop it?
I think it was around $800 but I can’t fully remember
Very nice!
Thank you!
This looks amazing and beautiful! Love it!
Thanks Hans!
Amazing! I just bought a Russian K3 and can’t wait to go on a trip. What film stock did you use and where’d you get it processed and scanned?
Heck ya! I used Kodak 250D and 500T for the night stuff. I got it scanned at spectra film in LA.
What type of camera? Absolutely beautiful
Bolex h16. Thanks!!
I am at loss of words... This is very beautiful sir, thank you for sharing this experience with the rest of us :)
Wow thank you! It’s my pleasure to share!

Beautiful and wonderful sound design. What stock did you shoot this on?
Thank you! 250D and 500T
@@taylorwerfelmann Awesome. Did you use any filters for the 500T or just color correct afterwards? Did you overexpose your shots at all?
Hi ther! Great video.. Just wondering what you used to record sound and us this a reflex or non reflex camera..thanks..
Thanks! I bought sounds for it, and yes reflex!
this is very beautiful
Thanks Zunaid!
of course no dislikes, i mean who wouldn't like this ?
Haha thank you man! I so appreciate that!
It is so amazing!!! How did You record the sound? But not with a ReeltoReel Tape Recorder?!?
Best regards from Germany
Thank you!! I actually found the sound online! I did all the mixing etc. and thanks Germany! Always wanted to go there!
Extremely beautiful 🌻
Thank you!!
So many feels in this video! Excellent work👊🏼 Much love from East Tennessee🙏🏼
Aye! Thank you Garret!
so beautiful
Thanks!
Lovely video !
I really like the effect at 2:39 with the red and the blue, can someone please tell me how to do it ? Or is it just like a film glitch ? Thank you :)
Thanks! Basically when film is fully exposed to light, that’s what happens.
@@taylorwerfelmann amazing ! thank you 😊
You captured the energy of these landscapes with such beauty. I just got a h16 and was wondering were developed your film? Cheers!

Interesting! Would definitely like to rescan at 4K cause this was lower res but it would take a ton of time or money that I don’t have haha
amazing
Thank you!
I really love this project, what was the name of the celluloid?
Thank you Andrey! I used Kodak 250D and 500T

why is 16mm film so beautiful?
One of the great mysteries of a filmmakers life. 😂
super 16 ? thanks, beautiful

Is that shot on super 16mm?
So good nman
