How to develop color film with a Sous Vide

Let's be real, paying for film processing adds up and most of us can't afford to splurge on a Jobo. The sous vide can be a great low-cost option to make film processing less cumbersome.

Thank You so much for this video on Sous Vide. Update! Is stead of a small mixing bowl, Use a large Sous Vide Tank instead of the Black Concrete Mixing tub. I suggested earlier. The depth of the Sous Vide tank needs to be taken into consideration. There is an upper and lower limit water depth for the Sous Vide heater to work in. Also the lip of the tank shouldn't have to be a problem. The Lip of the Sous vide tanks are designed for the Sous Vide to grasp on to.

Thank you for this! I read about using a sous vide for photo processing a couple of months ago but your video convinced me to finally go for it! Cheers!

Nice! It’s been pretty great to work with. The consistency for the price can’t be beat.

Really great video. I just got a Sous Vide (similar, not the same one) and they works great, I just need to find a standard for temp. I have 3 thermometers and every one reads different from the Sous Vide :-( I had a color darkroom many many years ago (prints and C-41/E-6) and am getting back into dev color again and scanning the negatives. BTW, I always called it a "changing bag and developing tank". Keep the videos coming.

Not sure the rest are up to date on this i worked it out myself and then came to look if anyone was on this well done

Why you don`t keep the developing tank in the water? The solution temperature is going down very fast.

I'm new to film and developing and this video helped a lot, thank you! Has this particular sous vide held up well in the last year?

I wonder what motivates folks like this one to make these videos. Should it be entitled "I have no experience doing this process, but I'll show you my mistakes."? Or should it be, "I get paid to post a video, so here's one if you are stupid enough to think I know what I'm talking about."? The arrogance of posting a tutorial explaining a process with so many mistakes, bad practices, and evident lack of understanding of what she's doing, is just amazing. Example, she fails to understand that the process temperature requirement applies to all chemicals used in the process, not just the developer. Frankly, I've never seen anyone else make that mistake. That she got some visually acceptable results speaks volumes about how forgiving the process is.

The developer and blix containers you keep them in do need to be black to keep the chemicals more effective, uv light will make them less effective over time. If you keep them in a dark place I'm sure it's fine...

Thanks for the advice. I store them in my darkroom which is dark most of the time. They did fall me recently tho so maybe I should switch to amber bottles.

@@summeronfilm Amber bottles are the way to go. I started around 2 weeks ago and all the forums I explored recommended 32 oz amber glass bottles over clear jars and accordion bottles. Granted I am using c41 unicolor chemicals so the size of the bottles might be different for cinestill.

This largely an old wife's tale. (Widely spread, but baseless.) The chemical activity of developer is not significantly effected by light. As to "UV" exposure, I doubt anyone has published any serious research on that point. The bleach and fixer certainly have to sensitively to light of any wavelength. That said, the idea of using half full mason jars for chemical storage is just stupid, given the amount of air being trapped in there. Since most plastic bottle (any color) specifically sold for photo chem storage as permeable to oxygen, I prefer amber glass bottle myself.

To load films, more comfortable is to use a bathroom.
