How to Scan Film With a DSLR

Are you very serious about this?

Do you need to get the film developed first?

2:00Sound effect from Slow Mo Guys Outro?

Careful what you use to hold the negs, easy to scratch

Just wondering, if you need to do so much colour correction in post, how can you replicate the "neutral" look of the film? I mean all different film brands and series have their own unique look right?

Saves cash too!

Interesting , but I'll stick with the lab for now! lol

Or you could take a digital picture

To be fair, the photo lab scans have better dynamic range.

he just propped up a mac with an olympus pen I'm so triggered

Trouble is, you're not scanning with a DSLR, you're taking a snap shot. Hence you're not recording true colour at each pixel point. If any reason you shoot film are for the colours. So basically, use this method to combine the worst out of both digital and film systems……pointless really.

10:22 shit in the background 😀

That is why I wouldn't buy cheap film scanner.

Blown highlights & blocked up shadows in the DSLR SCAN, BUT YOU DID REMOVE THE BLUE(opps caps) cast. I've seen others do a great job on 6×4.4.5 negatives.

thats it…gonna buy film camera…shoot with my dslr first to find the right exposure setting..thennnn..go with fulll frame filmmm….lollll

bs, the studio was pretty good, details were even better than the 5d 😀

OK… can somebody explain me how remove the pattern created of the monitor pixels?

I'm pretty sure that this method is a fake or a joke in the best situation!

Bless me Rev for I have skinned my exposure.

Handwriting analysis of your doodles suggest that you are a psychopath Kai!

But dont you have to prepare the film first or any light will knacker it up?

They give you 2 megapixel scans??… Fuuuuuudge them… Why not just make it 10? It's not like you'd have 100+ shots usually anyway.

very nice… just the same question is in all other similar settings I ve seen: how to get the negative dead-flat in coffeecup etcetera?

Hi, I'm using this method with my Nikon D7200 and a 50mm f/1.8 for 35mm films. The thing is that I need to crop from the original 6000×4000 to around 1600×1000 –> losing quality.

How can I remedy to this issue ?

Merging same pictures ?

Thank youuuu

just wan't to watch the final solution, not all the extra waste of my time.

Use a tripod FFS.

Does it work with a film SLR?

Ive been using the nikon es-1 to do the same thing (basically just a better version of the cup thing he made). I get 24mp "scans" from my d600. Works great for slide film, but for negative film its pretty difficult to get the colors corrected.

Wait wait wait how did you colour correct it so well after scanning it? When I'm doing it, it's always super grainy, fragmented and tinted 🤔

buy a film scanner
