Film Soup Instructions:
1. Shoot a roll
2. Combine ingredients into a bowl. Try something with a high pH like lemon juice
3. Stir in a (completely rewound) exposed roll, and let sit in the soup from 1-24 hours
4. Rinse the film roll in running water for at least 15 min
5. Develop the roll (at home)
6. Be amazed at your creative genius
A few notes:
* Please be careful when combining soup ingredients. If using household cleaners, make sure there is no reaction between the chemicals used. Use eye and skin protection
* Do not send into your lab for processing without contacting them first! Your contaminated roll might botch the lab's chemicals, and ruin other people's regular rolls. That would be a bummer.

Hi there. I'm Chris. Film is more fun is a place where I share about whatever busted up old camera I'm currently shooting and tinkering with, or my meanderings in film photography. It would be pretty rad if you said what's up. I'm 99% friendly. Definitely do that. Disclaimer: If you want technical proficiency this might not be the best place. These videos are more like an elderly person navigating a tv remote control. Pretty random and confused.

@@Roadheadsmedia You don't need to dry it out- I just jump right into processing after washing. Although, I know some people prefer to soup the roll before they shoot it, which is where the drying part comes in. I'd rather not shove a souped roll in my camera though, me personally!

I haven't souped before shooting so I can't compare, sorry. I always drop an exposed roll in the soup. I've seen pretty dramatic results from others who have done it both ways though.

How many days of use, has to be for the dirty sock, and what is the best sock size? 😂😂 You can put the film in the soup already in the tank. Nice video. 👍 big hug

@filmismorefun 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks Pedro! I prefer a separate container for the soup rather than in the develop tank. It was mentioned by someone (I'm not sure if 100% correct) that it is more effective if the film remains inside the canister. The sock must be worn for a week at least, for full effectiveness. 😂

you went like this: 1: shoot the film 2: soap the film 3: developed it with soaking in soap am i right? could you please let me know how you kerp the tempeeture on 38.5 for developing color film at home; i have no equipment for the fixing the tempreture. what should i do?

@filmismorefun 5 ай бұрын

1. Shoot the film 2. Soak the film 3. Rinse the film 4. Develop the film To keep a consistent temperature, you could use a water bath (a large pot or container filled with heated water). The develop tank sits in the pot of water as needed to keep the develop chemicals inside the tank at the correct temp range while developing. If you need a tutorial for home developing color film using this technique I have a video that might be helpful: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m-CPZa6Fpr23kn0.html

What happens if you soup it after it’s been developed?

@filmismorefun 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Ryan. I'm not sure. I've never tried souping developed negatives, but I would imagine that there would be less of a reaction if any at all, because the emulsion is fixed during development. If you do give it a try, I'd love to hear your results!
