Redscale & Xpro Trichrome Lomo Purple

- I have this love/hate relationship with Lomochrome Purple. Apparently I love buying the film, but hate shooting it.
A little while ago when Lomography released the new Purple formulation, there was a run on all Lomo Purple, the stuff was nearly impossible to get. All stores were out of stock and third parties were selling rolls for over double its retail price. So partly fueled by FOMO, for the next while whenever I found Lomo Purple in stock I bought a few rolls.
Flash forward a bit, after all the hype died down, I realized that I actually didn't like the film stock. After running a couple rolls the gimmick sort of wore out. And now I found myself with a bunch of film I didn't really want.
This led me to try out other unconventional processes. Things like cross processing and bleach bypassing.
I thought I used up my remaining Lomo Purple stock, but after digging around my stash I found even more rolls. So I ended up redscaling and B&W xpro trichroming these two rolls.

Film companies should charge you more when buying their film stocks
push it to 1600 or 3200, bleach bypass it, tilt shift the lens and fix it in extra salted mountain dew for 30 mins. Ur a legend man
You had me at Mountain Dew.
"I fixed lomochrome purple" I was listening to this half asleep and when I heard this....I felt...fear.
Yep, the trichrome works for exactly the reason you thought -- but the color cast of the film in normal process is not a dye error. In fact, your roll processed in B&W chemistry shows the reason for the purple: *Lomochrome Purple lacks the yellow colloidal silver filter layer normally found in color films.*
That layer keeps blue light out of the red-sensitive color layer (which is also, unavoidably, sensitive to blue). When that isn't the case, everything blue in the scene (in the positive, so after scanning or printing) has red added to it. Red plus blue equals magenta (approximately).
And I can tell this is what's happening because your roll processed in B&W doesn't have the high overall "fog" density you'd usually see in C-41 films processed this way, which is why you're able to see them with only a mild yellow mask (that would be the "orange" mask in a correctly coated C-41 emulsion).
Is that really what's going on? I guess I never thought about what would happen if you got rid of that yellow layer, so it makes sense.
Knowing that I feel like there's something there I can poke around with. Not sure what, but something. Thanks for letting me know!

This is correct, in fact, normal shots shot with Lomochrome Purple can be corrected digitally just by switching the color channels. With Lomochrome Purple you switch the green and blue channel.
So does that mean that you can simulate Lomochrome Purple by switching those channels on normal film?
@@peterjohnson4932 yes, you definitely can. You can also make digital Lomochrome Purple quite easily.
@@peterjohnson4932 Absolutely! its actually quite fun
I cannot get over how fantastic your videos are! I’ve been binging them like crazy and I can’t wait to see more!
Push it an ungodly amount. I wanna see that grain!
I wish I'd have so much Lomo Purple just to forget it in the fridge
One theory is the LomoPurple is also IR sensitive. So maybe do an IR tri(quad?!) chrome?
If it's not too late for the rolls, you could try astrophotography (especially star trails) to push its reciprocity failure limits. Maybe the whole roll doesn't have to be astro, but I'd be interested. Some dark green welder's glass "ND" filter might also be interesting considering the "purple" nature of the film.
Excellent content!
you can alwayd do standard b&w slide developing or pushing it to 509600 or smth
But why stop at 509600? But seriously good ideas.
@@atticdarkroom slides would turn out nice I assume, mask seems yellow so I guess something like sepia may come out? Or just like polaroid duochrome yellow. With the slides you could also make a trichrome, then gest 3 projectors and project them with filters at the same spot to get actual image. Or something like autochrome would be nice.
Lomochrome with IR 760nm Filter :) enjoy the long exposure ;)
Run a roll through a totally alternate chemical train. In example, developer: backing soda, beer, milk, coffee take your pick. Stop bath: vinegar or that Sprite from the other video. Fixer: salt water and maybe some jetdry as wetting agent.
I've been meaning to try something similar. Thanks for reminding me!
Making a slide with it by solarizing it
Try out processing it in both C41 and E6 !! It comes out a negative and gives it a purple tint on normal stuff, my guess is it'll give it even MORE of a color cast haha
Cross process but use bw developer, reexposing and c41 chemicals. Should give different colors than in standard e6.
Awesome vids man!! keep it up!
Thanks man, appreciate it!
Film solarization comes to my mind.

You could try pushing one of the rolls and maybe test how much you can overexpose the other.
Have you tried souping the film?
Or using both sides of the roll? Regular exposures + red scale.
Hell, you can even start combining different sorts of processes.
I never tried souping film. Doesn't really interest me.
But I really like the idea of shooting both sides of the film.
I might have to try that some time. Thanks!
Shoot it with a yellow or light green filter (opposite color spectrum) and see if they just come out blank or not. You'll get your answer as if its a color sensitivity thing or just a color shift
Test the exposure limits and how different the colors will look on one roll, and push the second roll 3 or 4 stops.
There's rumors online that you can make Lomo Purple look like aerochrome with the right filters... Do you want to try that absolute insanity?
Process as B&W Slide and then trichrome
I have an idea which I would like to see on this channel, maybe you'll like it too.
Redscale slide film, process one roll in E-6, and other in C-41?
Hey I've actually tried that, you can see it right here! th-cam.com/video/G11BMmpcQgY/w-d-xo.html
shoot, develop, stop, dry, shoot, develop, stop, fix.
As b&w of course
How about processing it in RA-4? Or ecn2?
It never occurred to me that you can cross process in RA-4, I'll have to look into this a bit further. Thanks!
1. Step Redscale
2. Step push process
3. Step cross process
Trichroming is the answer to all things
Where did you get that much of film????
mix b&w developer and C-41 developer
@3:24 develop in caffenol but use coke instead of coffee and thrichrome it using alternate casts for each channel
Change blue filter to infared and aercrhome it. Maybe there is some ir
Push it to completion, I want to see grain the size of sugar
How are you just finding these rolls? They are expensive!
Make it a black and white slide
Cross process it in b/w with Caffenol.
redscale cross process
Why not soup it?
I haven't been the biggest film soup fan, but maybe it might be worth trying.
thats a crime xd
Redscale it and cross process it in E-6
develop it in beetroot juice
Develop one in E-6 and one in ECN-2
No, develop one roll in beer
“I found two more rolls!” Stop it! It’s already dead :(
i think you should give me some lomo purple
Boil them in different beanS
😂😂😂
develop in milk
"I don't know what's going on" You sure don't. You used the film as black & white and reproduced color the old way with filters. Now go go it with fuji and kodak - Or FP4.
You didn't accidentally fix anything, sorry guy.
