Re: [Frameworks] caffenol processing with 16mm
The suggestion to use sodium carbonate (washing soda) is a good one. It's MUCH more economical than vitamin C as an activator, blends faster with coffee and therefore produces cleaner results on your film. I've processed a great deal of film (motion and still) with caffeinol (my most recent hi-con process was using expired, 12 year old 7378 from my freezer, and it worked beautifully). If you don't object to lengthier developing times, you can substitute the coffee in your caffeinol mix with anything containing caffeic acid...such as black/green tea or red wine (wine is obviously more expensive, but it's a great thing to try at least once. Just as with coffee, the cheaper the wine, the better the developer.) -- Forwarded message -- From: Jason Halprin jihalp...@yahoo.com To: Experimental Film Discussion List frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com Cc: Date: Thu, 5 Jan 2012 13:46:16 -0800 (PST) Subject: Re: [Frameworks] caffenol processing with 16mm?

Re: [Frameworks] caffenol processing with 16mm
Hi Christine, the process I read about was coffee, vit C, AND washing soda, I'm not opposed to using all 3 but I think washing soda may be hard to find in southern california. Basically I want to shoot the hi-con and experiment with degrading it during processing to give it some nice brakhage esque texture; bubbles, scratches, i'd like to figure out a good technique for solarizing, etc. any recommendations? also do you order your 7378 through kodak directly, if so what's your contact. Thanks! -Carrie On Fri, Jan 6, 2012 at 12:09 PM, Christine Lucy Latimer christinelucylati...@gmail.com wrote: The suggestion to use sodium carbonate (washing soda) is a good one.

Re: [Frameworks] caffenol processing with 16mm?
well, the color reversal turns out b/w negative of course, that's why i meant it doesnt make sense to use it ;) the high-con was about 2 min. i think, but you can use a red safelight and see what's happening. soda - at a chemist's Original-Nachricht Datum: Thu, 5 Jan 2012 13:21:55 -0800 Von: Carrie Schreck carriemakesmov...@gmail.com An: Experimental Film Discussion List frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com Betreff: Re: [Frameworks] caffenol processing with 16mm?
