Premium Member Will Montgomery Posted May 1, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted May 1, 2017 Had a loaded 35mm 2c mag sitting in the garage for 5 or 6 years and stumbled upon it a few months ago. Didn't look at it very closely and shot it for fun on a night scene. Not exactly proud that I let it through but it wasn't a paying gig and I guess stranger things have happened with film. Here's the results shooting through the wrong side of the film and flipping it in post. Also a still from the BMPCC we also used. Always have a backup. BMPCC backup...

Premium Member Tyler Purcell Posted May 2, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted May 2, 2017 Wait what? You loaded the camera emulsion side in? Interesting, I didn't know it would capture any image that way, I always thought the rem jet coating would pretty much render the film worthless. What a cool result tho! :) Side note... where'd ya get the costume from? I dig it! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted May 2, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted May 2, 2017 I got a similar result once from accidently shooting a roll of standard 8 Ektochrome with the emulsion at the back. It's actually a technique called redscale that people do deliberately, with sometimes beautiful results. Helps if you overexpose by a couple of stops. I know it works with reversal and still photography negative, but like Tyler I thought the remjet of cine colour neg would block more light.

Premium Member Will Montgomery Posted May 2, 2017 Author Premium Member Share Posted May 2, 2017 The lab was like, "huh?" I wasn't sure what happened until I realized it was all reversed. Had to work a little to get the image I got, it was definitely way underexposed. I've since heard a few DPs mention they've seen it done for special effect a long time ago. Throw a ton of light on it if you do it on purpose. I'll have to find out where the costume came from. I know it was shipped and we only had it for a few days.

Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted May 2, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted May 2, 2017 Lomo used to make a film for stills called "Redscale" which was essentially this-- though yes you really need to over-expose. It's a kinda cool little thing to do on occasion-- but fully for FX or Music video or the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
