Making a Large Format GIF With Expired 4x5 Film

I went out with my friend Christiaan to test some expired sheet film and ended up making a GIF, this video shows the process of making the images! We shot large format Provia 100F, Kodak Gold 100, Ektachrome 100+, AGFA RSX 50 ii and Kodak Portra 400 sheet film.

Knowing that you scan this on a Flextight, and seeing how sharp the image can still get even with that much of a crop is so good. I really appreciate your work. Something about it keeps the creative juices afloat in me. Don't stop doing what you're doing

This is very very cool Willy. I am seeing first time a gif with large format. Very interesting to see the different look of films. My favourite is Provia from this bunch.

That was pretty cool! I wasn't expecting it from the way you posed him.

Awesome idea! I don't really see myself diving into large format, maybe I'll shoot with someone else's camera every now and then, but I think I like the pace I can shoot 35mm with and when I want to be a little slower and more intentional, medium format will do me just fine :)

Dude! I was literally thinking about this earlier today, nice work

Very cool Will! What an idea! A ton of patience had to go in to that project, and it turned out awesome. That looked like fun! Looking forward finding out about your trip. As always, thanks for sharing and cheers!

Awesome to see a film gif on large format :) idk if anybody else has done that before so that's pretty cool imo

never understood why people shoot on expired film, i personally love to capture colour and expired film lacks that. i wondered what you plan to do with the GIF?

[samprstn]

Very cool gif. Not sure the cost was quite as cool :, )

[DirectorNoah]

Such a cool idea! Forgot about the video title when you started taking the photos and I was so confused as to why you wanted him to look like he was falling hahahaha. Great job! Side note: what B&W film were you using with the Minitec?
