Storing & shooting film workflow

[Boris Kalaidjiev]

Hi everyone, 

I just have a few questions about storing, shooting film and then sending it of film to the lab.

I have fresh Vision 3 stock that I am keeping in a freezer.

I am shooting in South-East Asia and here its always hot and humid so when I take a can out of the freezer to acclimate the stock it straight away condensates because of the heat 20-30 degreese celsius. Should I bring it from the Freezer to a Fridge and later bring it out of the Fridge into room temperature or it doesn't matter? 

If I dont open a can do I after put it in a fridge or a freezer for the next day or week?

After having shot something should I put the short ends back into the fridge or freezer?

I guess  the exposed negs until I send them to the lab they should go back to the fridge, right?

 

Thanks!

Hi!

I guess that most questions are already answered by Kodak’s datasheets (e.g. https://www.kodak.com/content/products-brochures/Film/VISION3_5219_7219_Technical-data.pdf ) and publications (e.g. https://www.kodak.com/en/motion/page/essential-reference-guide-for-filmmakers ).

When putting something back into fridge/freezer be sure to keep out any moisture, e.g. by adding silica gel bags.

I hope that this helps!
