what's up YouTube so Matt here again
0:06
from filter grid and today we're gonna
0:08
be teaching you guys how to develop
0:10
black and white film at home using
0:12
synostosis DF 96 solution this is a
0:15
mountable solution so that means you
0:18
only need to be using the developer
0:20
solution once and then rinsing it and
0:22
then drying it so it's super easy to use
0:24
almost anybody can do it and you only
0:27
need a few materials to get started to
0:29
get started with your process you'll
0:31
need your developer you'll need a bucket
0:34
to fill with water you'll need your
0:37
thermometer to make sure all your
0:38
temperatures are correct for synostosis
0:41
DF 96 solution all the instructions are
0:43
labeled on the front they're really
0:45
simple and there's a few variations on
0:47
how you want to develop your film but I
0:49
still like to write the directions on
0:51
the back and sharpie just because
0:52
sometimes the front will get washed off
0:54
during development next you'll need your
0:57
Paterson tank with the lid the like
1:01
tight seal and your agitation stick
1:04
depending on what you're shooting you'll
1:07
either need your 120 millimeter film
1:09
reel or your 35 millimeter film reel
1:10
today we're going to be using 120
1:13
millimeter film so we'll use this reel
1:16
you also need a film squeegee for drying
1:19
and a timer for while you're developing
1:22
just to make sure you have your time's
1:23
right and then lastly we have two
1:26
optional materials one is the funnel for
1:29
when you want to put your chemicals back
1:31
in and two are just safety gloves to
1:34
make sure you don't get any on your hand
1:35
anything like that so once you have all
1:38
your materials ready to go let's head
1:40
over to the sink and get started okay so
1:41
now we're at the sink and to get started
1:44
we're gonna need to fill our bucket up
1:45
with the hottest water you can get in
1:47
order to get your developer to whatever
1:50
film temperature you desire for
1:53
cinestyle recommends four different
1:56
variations the one I choose and the one
1:58
that I recommend is the hottest
2:00
temperature eighty degrees Fahrenheit
2:01
which is about 27 degrees Celsius this
2:05
will be for three minutes of agitation
2:09
and then about a five minute rinse and
2:11
then you're done you can also do all the
2:13
way down to about sixty degrees
2:15
Fahrenheit so like sixteen degrees
2:17
Celsius and this will just be fair like
2:21
a polled contrast look a little bit
2:23
different but I prefer a degrees
2:26
Fahrenheit I think it looks more of a
2:28
more of a sharp image so that just works
2:32
so let's go ahead and fill up the bucket
2:33
and get our developer to the right
2:43
okay so now we have our hot water in our
2:46
bucket and we're waiting for the
2:48
developer to heat up in about five or
2:50
ten minutes we'll use a thermometer to
2:51
check the temperature depending on what
2:54
developing time you want to use it might
2:57
take a little bit longer it might take
2:58
less but in the meantime we're going to
3:00
go ahead and load our film onto the
3:02
developing reel so go ahead and get your
3:05
darker bag or heading to your darkroom
3:07
and then I'll meet you back here okay so
3:09
I'm back from the darkroom and I've just
3:11
loaded my film into the Patterson tank
3:13
now let's go ahead and check take a look
3:15
at the temperature on the film developer
3:18
I'm going to be using the eighty degrees
3:21
fahrenheit method for stick agitation
3:24
for three minutes and after that I'll
3:27
rinse for five minutes and then I dry
3:28
the film so it should be an easy process
3:31
and okay so now I don't know if you can
3:37
see it but we're at 80 degrees
3:38
Fahrenheit I'm gonna go ahead and get
3:41
just take the developer out of the water
3:44
and shake it up a little bit just so
3:46
that none of the chemicals are at the
3:48
everything's evenly distributed I'm
3:53
gonna go ahead and put on my gloves just
3:54
so I don't get anything on my hands
4:05
shake it up just a bit more I'm just
4:12
gonna load this into the Paterson tank
4:18
and once it's full is when I usually
4:22
start my timer just to make sure that
4:25
everything stays congruent you should
4:27
try and stay consistent when you are
4:30
developing just so that you always have
4:32
an even in similar solution so I'm going
4:37
to go ahead and start the timer and do
4:41
continuous stick agitation for the three
5:11
okay so now we're rounding about three
5:14
minutes and I'm gonna go ahead and dump
5:18
the chemicals back into the bucket
5:26
after this I'm gonna use the water just
5:29
about room temperature and I'm gonna
5:31
wash the film for five minutes to make
5:40
sure you seal it with your hand before
5:42
you start just to make sure it's about
5:47
so from about 3:30 until 8:30 I'll leave
5:50
the water running and I'll meet you back
6:22
okay so we're coming back to 8:30 about
6:26
you got about ten more seconds and after
6:29
that I'm going to drain the water and
6:31
then use the film squeegee to dry out
6:33
the film initially and then after that
6:36
I'm gonna go hang it up I just go hang
6:38
it up in my bathroom when I do my film
6:40
at home that's where I usually recommend
6:42
it just because that's usually the area
6:45
with the least amount of dust in your
6:47
house you can also go ahead and do it in
6:50
your room or somewhere where not too
6:53
many people are walking around that said
7:09
go ahead and give a few swipes with the
7:11
film squeegee just to make sure you get
7:19
once you see most of the bubblers off of
7:22
it and there's not too many streaks or
7:24
anything like that you can go ahead and
7:26
hang them up if you have some weights to
7:29
hang them up with the bottom to make
7:31
sure that everything stays straight
7:32
that's good but if not that also works
7:34
as well but as you can see here the
7:37
photos and yeah that's pretty much it
