Nice to see you are using AI to write your scripts now!

I enjoyed how you used a wide aspect ratio for the video since you are using the x-pan. A nice change of pace for the videos, interesting to see things more cinematic!

Can we see portra 800 pushed 5 stops next?

I love how this guy always experiments with aspect ratios in his videos. Btw I love this wider aspect ratio Jason it covers most of the screen of you know modern smartphones

I'm a film noob. Over the last week I've been trying to understand pushing/pulling film, because it's often something that is described as happening in the shooting process instead of the development process. Nice straightforward explanation here and timely content to help me understand this further myself. Great video!

Those are some of your best shots! The wideangle format really seams to fit your view of the world. And adopting it to your ratio of the vid itself nice twist!

Insane quality man, love the use of the aspect ratio and the scenes in general.

Love the new aspect ratio on this 🔥

High iso at the day and low iso at night is the mood

Thank you for this episode. Love your work.

One of my favorite videos yet! Beautiful shots and the new aspect ratio.. 👌🏼

Thank you Jason. Awesome photos as always

Yo: love this content. One camera. One Film Stock. Great location. Thanks for making this and feel free to do more videos like this.

Amazing video as always jason, easily the best and most consistent photography youtuber

Love the more artsy format of this video!

Sometimes I think I crank out pretty good pics, then I see jasons "bad" shots and rethink my life choices

Some of the shots in this are among my favourites from your videos, especially the one from 3:25, 8:07 and 8:35. They have that quality that I like in some photos where it feels like you can step right into the frame - there's a real sense of the place. Maybe a benefit of the pano format. Anyway, I love your stuff, it's inspirational.

Love watching your films man ... The outdoor cinematography shots were awesome and the stills and moody color grade too man .

Congrats on hitting 200k subscribers!!

I’m so glad I watched this in my phone. Love the aspect ratio

I adore this spot. Used to live in Marin, moved two hours north, got here at 3am once after work to shoot and I've never been more nervous by myself with gear.

I really like the on location filmmaking. The wide angle lends to the feeling of being there. They also feel like they have some Wes Anderson influence.

LOVE IT 💚 Especially the way you make your videos that feel super personal, as if we're listening to a close friend. Thank you! but... more Polaroid 600 videos, please? It's been a while. A long while. 😅 Thank you!

Excellent vid :) thanks so much for these great mini docs into your process

That turn and smile after shooting the two people walking 😂😂

absolutely love the aspect ratio for this one

I guess Aerochrome is coming back boiss! No flaming Mountain Dew this time!

Some really great photos! Nice to see a camera with lens and no survival bag, that can be used for shelter. Bravo.

Did you shoot this on an anamorph!??? I love the look. Alsooo that wide aspect ratio in an xpan video is something you just have to appreciate.

Another fun video!! With all the news reports on TV about photographers getting mugged around the GG bridge area and having their equipment stolen, I'd have been MORE than nervous about having a $6K+ Hassy XPan with me down in that area. Glad nothing happened!! See you next time! CC

i love all the shots you took that day 😎👍

your videos have become my scheduled time of introspection- just like i have a scheduled time to blow up the taco bell bathroom every wednesday night.

The aspect ratio of this video had me double checking if it was really your channel lol

I love the underexposed shots because that's my type of photography. I'm really into dark photos.

Loving the new aspect ratio my dude.

Gosh Jason, finally a video thats the right aspect ratio for my phone 🙄 (for people that don't understand humor, this is a gest)

The work you make with the xpan is really compelling. I can stop looking at the shots you make with it.

Finally an aspect ratio for my 3440x1400 monitor. 8:30 truly is awesome, but I think you nailed most of them.. Job well done.

Dude that first shot was awesome. Print worthy 100%

love these shots 👍

that was some beautiful light

Great photos, really liked this!

I came for the xpan photos. I stayed for the anamorphic video 😍 Wonderful video as usual.

can never get enough of that camera tbh

Portra 800 was released in 1998 and unlike Portra 160 and 400, it hasn’t fundamentally been updated since its release. If it’s based on Vision technology, which is stated nowhere by Kodak but sure looks like it, then it’s based of the original Vision technology from the 90s. Which is also very much in line with the overall look of the film. If it was Vision2 than the skin tones would be visibly more yellow just like Vision3 skin tones are perfectly balanced with just the right amount of magenta. But Portra 800 has the deep brown skin tones of the original Vision line. Just look at Jackie Brown which was shot entirely on Vision 5279 (500T) and gives strong Portra 800 vibes. The original Vision line also had an 800T variant (5289) which’s curves aren’t too dissimilar from Portra 800 just like Vision3 250D and 500T aren’t too dissimilar from Portra 400. But all that is ball ass speculation anyway since Kodak supposedly was fiercely separating the motion and still sides from one another from fear of industrial espionage. Don’t know if that went so far as to not share technologies though. Also a one stop push really ain’t pushing Portra 800 to the limit, it can handle shooting at 1600 without a change in processing time just fine. Pushing to 6400 is where Kodak doesn’t provide curves anymore.

Panoramic again! 👏👏👏

The pano aspect ratio is super dope.

Thank you for explaining pushing it really helps novices like me

Not only are these my favourite film shots of yours, but also the cinematography this video?? Nailed it

You’re all good, don’t worry about it. Classic

My ultrawide monitor was so shocked to use the black edges for a youtube video it nearly just stopped working

Have shot many rolls of Portra 800 at night hand-held at 3200 with great results. Actually it's the only color negative film that can handle that level of push processing very well with great results. Lomo 800 is a close second.

C41 process generally isn't great for uprating or downrating. I worked as a pro for a good number of years in the late 90s and early 00s in film, so I have a fair bit of experience. Portra NC 160 didn't do too badly rated +1 stop. E6 actually did a bit better on Kodak E100S for pushing and pulling. Black and white owns the push and pull space. I love the pano aspect ratio, and your shots are really not bad on this roll!

Ah the aspect ratio of the video to compliment the format of the film. I see what you did there

The shots look good Jason, I do wonder if you'd set the black point in a few of them a bit lower whether that would have helped mitigate the muddiness/graininess somewhat

Nice, widescreen video that fills my whole phonescreen :D

Love the black bars all the way around.

Thank you for not putting fake black bars and let the player do its job. Gotta love a fully filled 21:9 monitor with video!

I really only shoot 800 (sort of color in general) on medium format so the grain “problems” are not nearly as severe as you’d see on 35mm. Contrast punch added in push processing I think works great for the film, but the color shifts can for sure be unruly. It’s never been unrecoverable

That shot of the bridge with the busted dock on the left ( at 5:03 ) is sick! EDIT - 6:23 is sick too!

IM SO EARLY LOVE ALL THE SHOT BTW!😍

Glad you met Lucille

Nice set of pics!

i said to myself "i need some rest". Perfect panorama for my break :)

Grainy days out here pushin p(ortra)

babe wake up new grainydays aspect ratio is here

LOL its the "butt can" for me haha. Great work.

Jason's attitude towards film and photography, mostly ambivalent and indefinite, make a great analogue to how film operates as a medium for capturing reality, mostly ambivalent and indefinite. It's a crazy head-canon once you see it!

Recently pushed Lomo 800 +1 and there was way less color shifting. I was stunned how true to life the colors were. Could have been the lab, but regardless I dug it and will be doing it again.

babe wake up, jason dropped another video

Came here mostly for your accompanying comments 🙊 and your photography of course

I shoot concerts on film every now and then. I work part time on a music online magazine ad we do concert reports a lot. Portra 800 sucks. Cinestill 800 sucks too but portra is always unpredictable and always underwhelming. Cinestill is similar but every now and then you get the "Cinestill" photo when the venue's loghts decide to bless you with incredible halos, warm tones and crispy grainy texture. Somehow the most consistent film stock so far is lomo 800. I thought it was some kind of variation of vision film but regardless the case it is a lot more consistent than the rest and it seems to be fine pushing it up to two stops. Of course you hope just for half of the pictures to be usable from colours alone but that's the best you get from all three of them.

Thanks dude I was about to load a roll at 1600 but imma try 1000! Preciate

I think pushed is good when shooting with the light. Or better said with the direction of the light. If shot into the light then, yeah, will be muddy. Love this video.

Perfect video for me as I'm patiently waiting for my 3 pushed 800s to land safely back to me.

Cinestill 800 is a Vision3 500iso film cross-processed with c41. So it makes total sense, that Portra800 could be Vision2 500iso film. Also, in my experience, you can push film with ECN-2 processor much more, than in c41. I prefer Vision3@1000iso over Portra800@800/1600

Beautiful photos and beautiful video. Thank you! Also - you weren't robbed in SF? 👀

pushing 🅿️

The broll video lens is very nice, it's making me feel things lol

you have convinced me to use the dreaded tripod

That shot you said is unusable is so rad haha

I ejected coffee out through my nose at the “took a dump in the butt can” bit 😂

The photo at 4:10 is really great actually, the super wide lens, the composition, the lighting and shadows. i would be smiling ear to ear if i took that photo, sure theres a little extra grain, but it gives it a sort of retro vibe. Don't be too hard on yourself man.

I liked this video for the last sentence.

Great content as usual! are some of the shots from anamorphic lens?

Something about Xpan photos that are just special.

omg grainery. i forgot all about it since its week of hype.

what lens did you use for filming. it looks so good

great video but i was missing the mountain dew challenge part of it! is it over, yet?

I dont really know if you ever did, but if one day you release a book with maybe photos and some commentaries here and there i would insta-buy it!

That's a gorgeous viewpoint at 7:06, I'd love to paint that.

Bold choice to shoot the episode on an anamorphic lens!

Is he still doing the dew?

Fuji 800 was always the best for pushing

sorry dad, can't perform the heimlich maneuver on you now, grainy J just dropped an xpan video

OK. When I was dumb and young, I used 35mm Portra 800 with my Olympus Mju point-and-shoot without thinking too much about the price. But nowadays, I only buy Portra 400 for my Leica M6 because 800 is too expensive lol. As for experiments, I pushed +2 for 3 rolls of Ektars before and the lesson was do NOT push +2 for Ektar.

This portra needs more light than it’s box speed. What that means is people usually overexpose it, so it can get good results but you need to adjust your exposure setting. Something like start at +.5 a stop as it’s native iso and THEN push.

My understanding is that pushing our pulling refers to automatic or semiautomatic modes for exposure. If you use manual mode, then you are in total control of the exposure. So you can still use iso 800 but overexpose

8:30 thats a really nice one!

Couldn't really tell if he's using real or emulated anamorphic look for this video. Either way, some next level shit 🔥❤️
