Is this the future of film photography? (Kodak are banning it)

Cinefilms are a promising look into the future of film photography. but how do they perform and what's going on in the supply chain? Well in today's video we're going to dive right in!

Remjet is Kodak's short name for a technology called "removable jet black". It's exactly what it sounds like, a coating in jet black (i.e. pure dark black) on the rear of the film, that is removed before development. It stops unwanted reflections from the back of the camera, and imperfections such as halation occurring, when the film is being pulled through a cine camera at 24 frames a second or higher. It basically does the same job as the plate in a still film camera - cine camera pressure plates are polished to an almost mirrorlike finish to decrease friction, hence they don't have the same reflection absorbing quality, instead it's part of the film.


It's a carbon based powder so it's also a mild lubricant, which helps the film stay moving freely at those kinds of speeds and keeps it from binding to the sprockets pulling it along.

Your lab has a quality issue with their chemicals and must likely also an issue with keeping an constant temperature (must not deviate more than +- ½ a degree Celsius). In my experience ECN-2 film is only for people developing films themselves. Cinestill as a very cost saving offer.

For those in the UK, definitely try Analogue Wonderland for ECN-2 (or C-41, B+W, etc) film development

There is no way that C41 processing of cine film would cause that shift in colors. ECN2 processing just creates lower contraster flatter negatives that can then more easily be processed through the film copying process. I have always developed my cine film in C41 and never got such a shift.

I'd try scanning the film that turned out strange yourself to be really sure what's wrong with it.
Looks like the biggest amount of funk has happened during the digital processing of it to me
It looks like the dynamic range has been thoroughly crushed...

3:19 i’m not too familiar with how x-rays effect film but if you flew to portugal and didn’t ask the people to hand check your film then the x-rays from the carry on scanner could have affected your film.

Looks like your film in the slr was either too old ( more than 4-5 years or stored to warm ), or shot at the wrong ISO.
Your black margins ( sprocket holes ) look like lab didn't take the remjet off, perhaps..
250D is my fav color film, and it's easy to self - develop in C 41 if you take the remjet layer off first.
