There are some good points made on your video. I've been shooting photographs ( both film and digital )on and off since 1990 and it's nice to be reminded of some basic things to keep in mind when shooting with a point and shoot camera. I enjoyed the music as well.

your "subject" 5:35 is very pretty!

Me and my girl watched this and now she won’t stop showing me which cameras out there to shoot with, might 🦆 around and pick something up 🟩⤴️

cut a 110 cartridge in half and you can load 16mm film into cameras that use a thumb winder. this is handy if your on a tight budget or want panoramic shots without wasting film. i prefer the minolta himatic AF2 for this because it has an optional wide angle adapter that allows accurate use of the viewfinder framelines on the narrow film.

When I want red light in my photos, I put my finger in front of the flash because of (and I know it’s weird):
The blood. In my finger. The flash goes trough the blood in my finger and it actually works lol

Just learning film & you killed it on explaining!!

[FranVianzon]

Thumbnail says 120mm film, which is wrong because 120 is a format code, not a measurement (as 135 is to 35mm)

[chrystene]

AMAZING TIPS DUDE xoxo from argentina thankssss

Great video and writing, thank you. But I had to comment about the sound effect with the film box images. Seriously jarring beyond belief, no idea why they were even needed. Top-notch, except for the sound effect.
