Aliens invade Earth : Revolog's Special Effect Films

trendland · Jan 24, 2018

Kodak announced Ektachrome films
a year ago ! Many people are waiting for releasement soon.
Meanwhile Aliens arrived and noticed the desperately need of new films ?

Look at this here :

Revolog is a new series of films.
If you want to have special effects without using software - use revolog
special effect films ?

Then you may have a surprice after developing :

Your beloved cat is transformed.....?

But this is just the begining.

Have a look on Tesla :

If your parents did not allow you the use of special weapons as a child -
here comes Tesla :

But don't be affraid - there are much
more films from Revolog.

Last one I will introduce - you should never forget :

TESLA 2 !
If Tesla 2 appeares on the scene it will change everything : LOOK

(The better name to this film should be
"DOOMSDAY II" )
But Roland Emmerich dreamed about
this effect since he was in college.....long before Independence Day.

My question is : "Is there a need.....
(sorry I don't trust to continue)

At last : Have you ambitions to create
some effects on film (c41/E6) and how
is your workflow then?

All your examples are wellcome..

with regard

PS : If you are realy interested to Revolog films - the pricing is around
$ 9,50 and of cause there is a nice
video on YouTube - just google.

Warning : The original revolog video on
YouTube is very special.........

I would keep shooting this film the results are interesting.

BrianShaw · Jan 24, 2018

What's the point? I can get the same effect by putting my film through the airline hold baggage scanner.

The very new creation is "kosmos"
and here is the link : shop.revolog.net/product/kosmos

with regards

PS : "kosmos" is looking not soo bad..

E. von Hoegh · Jan 24, 2018

Why would I pay good money for ruined film?

trendland · Jan 24, 2018

Yeah - effects with films (color)
Here is an example :

(damaged EPY - black/blue with no real colors)
The question with effects on film like revolog is the framing...?

But how could we live without Aliens ?

We will never survive allone - but what about this survival pack :
Pixlr / phone / 7 min.

1.)
2.) ....next step

3.) final
But it looks more unlike Alien Invasion

It looks like I ate bad mushrooms.

Is this what film's future looks like? I hope not.

I realy may not say - but some like it..
The question to me is to create an effect
analogue.
There might be effects from filter (on the lens). There might be effects from special
emulsions

like Kodak Aerochrome :

And there might be other methods to have effects (without software)

Yes I know - but they have more and more films - and the "kosmos" is the latest.

People will always argue about taste ...
I don't like it.

Theo Sulphate · Jan 24, 2018

I'm impressed that aliens use 135-format film.

That should be corect macfred. It makes no real sense to argue about taste.
On the other hand - to have the "right" taste is a central key to good photography.
What we often forget is : " This key lays allways in the hand of the observer"..

Theo - would you rather calm down if we
will lost our last resources in 120 films from Alien occupation ?

By the time - you do not need to be afraid of Alien nuke strikes. We all should know Aliens have long time experience with beam weapons :

Now it's realy time for my after-lunch nap ...

trendland · Jan 25, 2018

An other alternate to special effects is the simple unsharpness. In combination with long time exposure it might makes sense (sometimes ) ...... :
But let's see what the different makes
to effect films : Revolog "lazer"

....the key lies in the hand of the beholder

I prefer to do this kind of stuff myself with double exposures. Shoot a roll of lights/ink/macro etc. and double over it. Much more fun that using some overpriced ready-made film, and much more unpredictable and interesting I think. Examples I've done:

This was flipped lens macro of ink in water, with light source from the side.

And this was actually a triple exposure (hence the grain...). Macro of a piece of bismuth and something else.

That should be the right response to Aliens - with such methods we might
avoid an invasion.
More of such methods and Aliens will surrender. Thank you much to show us your workflow Arbitrarium.
It is a bit different from so called "sandwich" method I know. And of course
I have to say : Very Impressive

with regards

PS : By the time to avoid missunderstandings - the example of
Michael Weslay isn't from Revolog Films.
It is from extreme long time exposure
> 6 hours. ... think about

Yes indeed. If I had this overpriced rubbish in my hand, I'd wipe it off ASAP.

Are Kodak's current issues with 120 backing paper really just an alien code that we are all misinterpreting?

The Revolog products are interesting, but most of these effects are probably best done with Photoshop (or even better, not done at all). I do tend to like some of the false color emulsions. I find that Lomography Torquise gives everything a "martian" look than can be appealing - Their "Purplechrome" film, however, just makes everything look like brown mush.
