so happy to have this video out in the world ♥️🎞 hope this guide makes it a lot less intimidating to develop color film at home 🥰

For anyone in the comments here. Most bathrooms can be made into a dark enough space to change your film in. Try it beforehand though to be sure. Stand in your bathroom with the lights off and look for any light leaks around the door and seal it off either with black gaff tape or hand a black blanket/blackout curtains.

Yo, thank you guys for actually properly explaining the stabilizer/final rinse thing.

One way to prevent cross contamination is to use color tapes. E.g., I use a Blue tape to label the bottle and cap for Blix, and reD for the Developer's bottle and cap. If funnels are involved, I have separate funnels for developer and blix, labeled with red and blue tapes respectively.

Not me watching this when I work in a whole film lab! 😂 love this. My job uses a Fuji processor for c-41. Didn’t know it was this easy to do color film by hand tho. I do black and white by hand there and do love it.

[inkaststudio]

I did not know the developer was so sensitive to blix. Definitely taking more precautions moving forward. Thanks for the heads up! 🙏🏾

I developed my first color negatives today and with these chemicals and this video they came out perfect! I've done color slides, but that was 35 years go. I've also done B&W a lot recently so I had everything else I needed other than the chemicals and a heater. I used a Sous Vide heater for that. The hardest part is getting the film on the spool, and even that isn't that hard.

Thanks for the great video and products!

Linus' charisma is through the roof

If this is the easiest way I can’t imagine how would look like the hardest way :(

[AssataAmani]

Loving how Linus is on the team!!! Amazing video and extremely helpful.

I plan to get the Lomagraphy daylight tank soon so I can easily develope C41 35mm film. Thanks for this awesome video

[buttonsjunior]

While this may be difficult at first, I can’t wait to try it. Ever since I heard Walgreens doesn’t give back negatives I wanted to see if I could do this at home.

Damn. Linus didn't even remove his eye's gaze from the camera as he caught the sliding cinestill developer from across the desk. 👏

[jlwilliams]

I've processed color neg film before and it was always an incredible PIA, but this almost tempts me to try it again...

[buyaport]

Easiest way to develop color film? True. Nothing more to say. Especially the TCS-1000 makes it so easy and nearly fool proof. Thanks for putting together this solution.

[Moe-exlb]

Best video for easy steps about color developing 👍🏻

[LBPhoto]

Just bought this kit. Wish me luck ! :D

Fahrenheit and ounces is like a foreign language to 99% of the countries in the world

I remember when Bessler chemicals came out, using 100 degrees, each step of the two chemicals were only 1 minuet each. If you used lower temperatures it could go up to 5 minutes without shifting the colors. When I started with Kodak chemicals, there were 5 chemical steps

Thanks for tutorial! I just got the TCS-1000 and color developing kit and was wondering about something; the formula for adding time for reusing is a little bit confusing and would appreciate a little bit better explanation for it. Also you advertise that you can reuse it up to 24 rolls and it seems just tad odd because the instructions say that you can develop 8 rolls of 135 film or 120 film, so is it 24 or 8? 😅 love your products and I will continue to use them but I would hope for more easier instructions! (This could be a language barrier thing too tho..)
