Andy Hager Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hi Folks, Since black and white products are still available from our friends at Kodak, why not make the most of it!? I was thinking about doing some sephia tone 16mm shorts and I'm wondering how to do it? Now sure, anything is possible with a computer in post, but is there a way through the camera or film processing? Simple filters? Any ideas and what to expect? Regards, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Hager Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 Well, I just opened up the Tiffen catalog......guess this is where I'll start first. Then shoot and see what I get. The best way to learn. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Hager Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hi David, Thanks for your reply. That's kind of what I was wondering in my original post. I wanted to get that nitro cellulose pre panchromatic type look. I don't think filters alone will get there. I'm not sure myself what processing labs could attempt it either or how much the C-41 process can deliver or be manipulated. I wanted to do a short montage of automotive history and film different cars from different time periods at the next upcoming Detroit Dream Cruse in August. It's the 1900 to 1915 period that I was thinking more about. I think with the other time periods a filter would work just to cast some kind of hue specific to that time.
