Schindler’s List was shot on doubleX certainly not easy viewing but if you want to know how good this film stock can look when shot by a master filmmaker with a big budget then I guess look no further.
Sounds like a good candidate for filtering. Maybe a red to darken the sky/lighten a skin tone or a blue filter to darken dark skin tones (shouldn't change caucasian tones as much) and darken reds/greens. Hardly no one talks about using a blue filter on B/W but it won't really lighten a blue sky, further it just sorta keeps it light while making most everything else go dark but in a way that doesn't necessarily shove them into full shadow so long as you meter for it. The *trick* being done here is that a blue filter allows haze and fog when the image includes sky. Haze or fog = a slight darkening of luminosity, right? Ribsy if your subjects often have darker skin try it and see what happens. Or I could be totally out to lunch here. I'd suspect if someone experimented they wouldn't have to feel as constrained about exposure unless the filter wound up cutting 2 stops of light ... but hey, Hollywood ain't typically handheld, so there's that I guess.
Hi! Here is a list of some other films made with Kodak Double X: Some of the movies using the classic Kodak Double-X film stock include: Raging Bull (1980), Schindler's List (1993), Stranger Than Paradise (1984), Memento (2000), Kafka (1991), Casino Royale (2006), I'm Not There (2007), Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003), Manhattan (1979), Cinderella Man (2005). Like your videos very much! Keep up with them.
You pointed something I observed on my Double X use that is the control of light. I made a series in a cemetery with a little blow light the results were not I expected. But I cant say enough how much I appreciate this stock and as far you come to terms with it it´s amazing! Even here in Brazil the cost of a spooled roll is very unexpensive. Thank you for the review!
I am enjoying your channel so much! I have inherited a lot of my father’s negatives and sides (plus I have a great deal of my own) and I have started the daunting task of digitizing them. On my most recent box dig I found a roll my dad shot in Super XX film (Eastman 5232) this actually helped me pin point the era of the photos. Super XX was motion picture film that eventually was dropped in favor of Tri X. The shots on the Super XX look great on the negatives (viewed on a light table). I was able to gather that the roll i found was shot around 1950-1952! BTW shame on the single “dislike” to this video. Keep them coming!
@@ribsy I had not thought about that but once I get my set up straight and have time I may do so. BTW I did order the Essential Film Holder on your recommendation!
This film goes back in some form to 1940, issued as a high speed (ISO 200) B&W movie film. The continued to mid 1950's, when it was discontinued on favor of newly issued Tri-X. When I took photography in school, 1961,old bulk 100' rolls of Super-XX were still available, as the school bought it bulk and reloaded it for students at 25 cents a roll. Sometime later, Kodak reissued a version of the prior film as Double-X for movie use. What you get in 35mm loads today is repackaged movie end-runs sold by independents. Great sharpness, so-so grain, and narrow latitude fairly intolerant of exposure error.
Double X is a very interesting film! I only had a limited experience with it but I want to get a big amount and bulkload when the world heals! Keep up the good work!
This film is very similar to Tri-X. A little finer grain, a bit nice skin tones, and yes somewhat less dynamic range. I’ve read the reviews that talk about how little range the film has and it’s quit over exaggerated. Its dynamic range is somewhat comparable to to that of TMax line. Yes you have to watch your extremes but if you meter properly you won’t be loosing skin tones. It’s perfectly fine for high dynamic range scenes as long as you take your time to meter right. And don’t forget that contrast and dynamic range is all effected by developer too. I’ve used it with CineStill DF96 which is a more contrasty developer and I had no problems with the film dynamic range.
I shot this film outdoors as ISO200 and developed it in Perceptol. Aas quite happy with it but i am sure with D96 it would yield better results. Thanks for this video :)
Double-X is a great film! I mainly shoot it at 200 and develop in D96 (a dedicated motion picture film developer). It does have stronger sensitivity to blue light so you will see those rendered white. As for films, the opening of Casino Royale and Schindler’s List were shot on Double-X.
Cool video and great info to know. I just ordered about a half dozen rolls of it a few days ago. Cinestill was also selling this as their “Bwxx” film and I shot a few rolls of that, and similar issue with the blown out highlights. So that’s why I think all my favorite shots came from indoor with practical lighting.
Raging Bull and Schindler's List were shot on it. Part of Casino Royale and Kill Bill as well. I've shot three rolls of this and was intrigued enough to spring for 100ft. I develop everything in HC-110 dilution B and I like the results. Nice bold blacks, great grain. Haven't tried portraits yet, but now I want to.
I experimented quite a bit with this film a couple of years ago. You need a highly compensating developer if it is to be used in a photographic sense. I also like to try the Ferrania P30 when my patience is up to it.
I shot a family portrait and some wedding portraits with a roll of this on medium format and was disappointed by some of the results. I learned the hard way about the limited dynamic range 😂. However I did have some insane banger shots off the roll so it worked out somewhat.
You can control the highlights; you just need to be very gentle with development. OR shoot it at 400 and develop 3 minutes in Diafine. It's a two-part developer that automatically holds highlights.
Really interesting video. Lots of great information! Definitely love that blown out background on the portraits. By complete coincidence, I just posted a Double-X vid on my channel today, haha.
As with any cine film its made to give a rather flat image so the director has full control over the look of the film, they're more like raw files in a way. because of this double x heavily favours from use with filters to add contrast and steer the look properly, it actually has a lot of dynamic range when you up the contrast with filters. you should try it out its pretty cool!
Another great video! Just a heads up: I've noticed on some of your videos the audio is clipping when you speak louder. Maybe adjusting the gain or sensitivity on the mic would fix it? Not an audio pro so maybe it's just me. Anyway keep up the great work!
Love how your shots came out with this film. I've been shooting this film a lot lately. Got a bunch from Film Photography Project, and I just leave a point and shoot in my car loaded up with it at all times. I personally prefer T-Max as my every day black and white, but I think this stock is a great alternative for the price when you roll it yourself. Also if I am not mistaken, I believe Psycho and Clerks were actually both shot on Double X. Two classics that stand out to me anyway.
This is by far my most favorite B&W film stock. Its contrast while retaining the details is better than Tri-X IMO. On the other hand, it 's not always in stock and is a little pricy.
Thanks for the insight about the limited dynamic range. I shot my first roll of this leaving the camera on matrix metering, hoping that it would be the best middle ground for the limited dynamic range. Not developed yet but I suspect it will be "meh" in a lot of cases. Next roll I will be embracing it and thinking "shadows or highlights?" for each shot.
@@ribsy if you're using a mix of yellow and red you're basically already split grading. A workflow that works well for me is to first find a decent exposure for my highlight details with only yellow light and then (without changing the time, or amount of yellow light) do some prints with different amounts of red light until you get nice blacks 👌
I have been thinking about bulk loading but I'm afraid to order film from Ebay as I don't know if they X-ray packages in the customs which would obviously ruin the film. Any experiences on international shipping of unexposed film, is there a risk of X-ray damage? I know airport checked baggage X-ray machines will damage film (the ones used on carry-on-luggage usually won't I've read) but how about customs inspection? I'm mostly interested in bulk loading because I think 36 exposures/roll is a little too much for me and there are not so many 24 exposure rolls available. That's why I like medium format, 12 exposures is about the right amount for one session for me as I'm still learning so I like to develop my film as soon as possible after shooting to check my results and apply my findings the next time. Not much economical gain for me to be had by bulk loading though as I'd have to get the film from abroad and shipping costs would probably offset any price difference as film is not that expensive here in Finland (almost everything else is).
I recently found your channel and have enjoyed your content. I have never heard of Kodak Double X film, but I found a roll of 35 mm Kodak Black & White 400 film, but it says that it is for processing with C-41 color processing only. I found this roll from purchasing a film camera from a thrift shop. Wonder if you ever heard of a B&W film that uses the standard C-41 color processing?
C-41 B&W film isnt uncommon. I dont know how many C-41 B&W film stocks Kodak has made, but i know one of them belonged to the Porta line of film called BW400CN. Ilford currently makes XP2, which is their C-41 B&W film.
Yes, in the 90:s I shot a roll or two of B&W film which was made for color processing. Don't remember the brand anymore. Came out of the automatic process of a commercial laboratory with a reddish/purplish tint.
I shot some of this stuff (packaged as CineStill BwXX) a while back, and developed in HC-110. It seemed to fail in the midtones, in a way I wasn't too fond of. I'm now trying to shoot through my remaining stock (which is easier said than done right now) with the intent to try developing it in actual D-96 (bought a packet of it from CineStill to try). Might also do some P30 with the rest of it.

They would have been printed to another film that both reversed to a positive and have the other half of the traits that Kodak would have made for the entire process. I can't believe that you said nothing about the developer and times you used. That is VERY critical for films used in applications not intended. The intended developer was D-96. It is one of the few developers ever,, uh, developed with both metol and hydroquinone in the same amounts. D-13, some D-60's and the very famous and still loved DK-50. In fact, if you dilute DK-50 1:1 and then add in 60 grams more per liter of sodium sulphite, you have almost exactly D-96. After 40 years of photochemistry as a hobby, I can tell your for sure that D-96 or DK-50 1:1 will be a lot more compensatory that all the standards out there like D-76, Xtol, or Rodenal to name just a few, unless diluted. And then you get into sodium sulfite being diluted, which then is another variable. If you don't mix your own, there is always DK-50 and sodium sulphite on eBay or Photographers Formulary. As a note on granularity is that Kodak rates this as 14. For comparison, Plus X and Tmax 400 are rated at 10, and Tri x at 20, per their methods. I've long heard that XX is grainy, but then maybe that's what people expect, so there it is. Kodak give objective data. I'm definitely going to have to buy a few rolls.
You gotta try D96. It’s such a dynamic developer that will give you way more contrast control than this. Way more dynamic range. Hit us up if you can’t get any in your area. It will revolutionize your workflow with any film if you are looking for dynamic tones and tight grain structure. Others have commented about the motion picture films processed with the D96 formula. Our powder version is made to bring that quality to at home processing. You are gonna wish you had it soon. Great review as always. 🙌🏻
The Lighthouse (amazing film btw!) was also shot on double X and with a custom cyan filter
thanks! will do
Yeah that is an interesting look. I’m wondering what this looks like with a flash.
Schindler’s List was shot on doubleX certainly not easy viewing but if you want to know how good this film stock can look when shot by a master filmmaker with a big budget then I guess look no further.

One of my favourite alternative films, normally grab this when I fancy something other than my HP5+
Yea this is def a nice alternative film
Double X is a very interesting film!

Keep up the good work!
For sure! I think it’s worth it
Malcolm and Marie was shot on Double-X. It’s on Netflix, very well done in terms of cinematography
Nice! Gonna check it out
The lighthouse, the opening sequence of Casino Royale, Momento, Raging Bull, Nebraska, Schindler's list

thanks ill give it a shot
Oppenheimer was shot on custom Kodak Double X for their black and white scenes.
Custom cut*
Do you think that a Pyro staining developer would help in calming the highlights ?
i doubt it, but worth a try
@@ribsy Staining developers are used when highlights need to be calmed down. Look it up.

Do you have a particular ebay vendor that you use? I'm in the Netherlands, but the cheapest rolls I can find are almost twice as expensive as HP5+ 😅
Buy from timvhrn photography, hie’s based in NL too
hmm i haven't bought from ebay recently. so not sure exactly who to recommend
thanks for sharing
Interesting, very intersting! What can you say about the skin tones? Pleasing and smooth or harsh and contrasty?
Not sure! My eye isn’t trained well enough in BW
This is by far my most favorite B&W film stock. Its contrast while retaining the details is better than Tri-X IMO. On the other hand, it 's not always in stock and is a little pricy.

So do u shoot it slower than triX. By a stop?
yea! i usually rate and develop at 250
I love the video title. Interesting... :) I've never heard anyone else mention that these films are made to be an intermediate product. They would have been printed to another film that both reversed to a positive and have the other half of the traits that Kodak would have made for the entire process.

the film "the clerks" is shot using Double X
Yup
Did you develop in D96? Standard development may not give you full potential of tones the film can produce.

we're on the same page always on film stocks ahhh
haha great minds think alike
