if you need a website domain or online

Squarespace hello
so one of the questions that get asked
the most is how does the role of film
turn from a roll of film into actual
photos that are digital and on Instagram
or in videos so today we're at Bayer
which is the photo lab that we use and
gonna be trying to show you the process
of how this roll of 35mm film turns into
photos and eventually digital files that
you can have in your computer so when
you drop your film off to the lab
they'll normally ask you what you want
whether it's just to develop the film
whether it's to scan it or also you
could get some prints made personally I
just get scans made and then if there
are any images that I feel like a
particularly worth printing I'll just
print the single image as opposed to the
whole roll after you pass the film over
it will then be logged into the system
and in this case a Bayer transported
downstairs into the dark rooms
once the film's downstairs and ready to
be developed it's logged with this
little sticker which helps keep track of
whose film is whose is then kind of
bolted in complete darkness into the
dark room where it gets processed after
the films in the darkroom it gets
removed from its packaging in this case
a canister and then it's loaded onto a
rack the rack is then placed into the
machine which goes through a set of ten
different paths which contain different
chemicals and water to rinse after the
film's travel through the developing
chemical you're actually able to turn
the lights on so we were able to go and
have a look at what was going on which
was pretty interesting I've never seen
this before after the film's been
through all the chemicals is then left
to dry completely before it's taken
upstairs to scanned
Surveyor use anna Ritsu to scan which
stands incredibly fast and just like a
whole roll at once the film is loaded
into the Machine and then you're
provided with thumbnails to preview the
images at this point the technician is
able to alter the color balance and
exposure for you so if you ask nicely
maybe the lab will be able to scan to
your preference to highlight an example
of this we actually scan the road twice
with two different looks after whistles
band is then taken downstairs to be cut
and sleeved
so you wouldn't pick it up if someone
nicely prepared for you for archiving
and then either the scans have been to a
CD or we transferred to you and so here
are the masterpieces that were made on
that row as you can see the normal way
that scanned is just a nice net
cool-looking and then we also got some
done the extra flat so the idea of this
is that the images have as much of the
highlights and as much of the shadows
held in the previous images kind of have
a more contrast II fill which looks good
straight away but if you want to be able
to edit them to control exactly how it
looks
getting it done flat so that you can
play with how much contrast you want
later I just prefer that because in some
images you could lose a bit in the sky
or a bit in the shadows and having the
ability to choose what you want and what
you don't is great but it doesn't mean
you have to do more editing so that's
pretty much it it was really interesting
to be able to go behind the scenes at
Bayer if you want to go and drop your
film fare I'm pretty sure they'll give
you a discount if you say negative
feedback sent me which is very kind of
them and also thank you to Squarespace
