Does anyone know of any colder looking films?

[mathjeff0]

I like the look of a slight coldness in films. I know cinestill 800 has it without a filter. Anything else out there that maybe cheaper?
If not cheaper, anything at all! Only in 35mm!

Negative films can easily be manipulated during the printing or scanning stages. Ektar 100 can be quite cool though as seen in this twilight example: http://gallery.leica-users.org/d/270828-1/006-2.JPG

If you also like a look more heavy than
"slight coldness" just have a try with
Kodak EPY - you may find this film on
Ebay auctions - but don't care if it is expired (it make the film more cool - so it seams to me)
Look at this here :

......cool enough ?

Lighting and post processing can provide coolness.

Studio strobe is a fairly cool light source.

Ektar and Portra 400 lend themselves well to a cool rendering in post.

Any of the long-discontinued Ektachrome Tungsten films will give an unearthly cold look in the early morning or evening (but they are rather bland and unserviceable for daylight shooting). The addition of a pale blue filter can intensify the affect.

You can also use color correction filters, 80 wratten filters can do the job.

80A, 80B, 80C, 80D....

And Fuji 400H gives very slightly cool tones.

There's also Tungsten C41 films like Portra 100T and the like that would work like the slide tungsten films.

fuji superia, agfa 200.

I can either use the 80 Wratten blue filter or I can take film out of my freezer.

Provia 100F has a cold look to me, I often use a warming filter with it to compensate

^This. Provia has a very cool look to it. I have no idea what the people who recommend Ektar or Portra think cool means. Those films are distinctly warmer than Provia. It's not even close.

This !
And for less money in 35mm (at least in Europe) the Agfaphoto CT Precisa 100. Sometimes when the sun is high it needs a warming filter to compensate the bluish drift.

 

[destroya]

yep, provia. always use a 81a or b with it.

 

[GarageBoy]

Provia in the shade is so cold

 

[Minoltafan2904]

Another vote for Provia 100F, my first time shooting it, i shot a frame or two of a white car in the shade and it turned out blue instead of white!
I use an 81A almost all the time with Provia, even an 81B on occasion, depsite this, it's my No. 1 favorite film.
Agfa CT Precisa 100 also looks cold at times, because it's Provia 100F

That looks like the typical Ektachrome shift to blue due to reciprocity failure with a very long exposure, hardly a good indicator of what the film will render under normal exposure conditions

 

[jim10219]

Just about any Fuji color film looks at least slightly cold to me. I've always enjoyed the bright blues and subdued reds of Superia 400.

You are right - the lab sent me a note the film is possible damaged from moisture. But it is just a typical blue cast we often have seen from Ektachrome in the past when Ektachrome is real expired.Not an real issue of thungsten balance in "blue hour" because it was much later (at real night).
The possible cast of this film from exiration date is no problem for me because I payed just 5 bucks a 5x120 pack EKTACHROME EPY64 years ago.
And since then the films are frozen.
I possible have a rest of somewhere 5 - 6
5xpacks so this efect with blue cast is reproducible with nearly 30 films.
I wouldn't do it again but it came from a professional store. The shop gave up and first saled their proffessional film refrigerators later the films over more than 6 month. At its definitive end I bought the rest of their films (5x7 E100G) with good expiration dates (more than 8 month left ) but outside the cold chain.....
No proffessional would use sheed film with unclear condition.
I did it just for fun. ...

with regards

PS : Pricing you can't imagine
(3 bucks 4x5 / 6 bucks 5 x 7)
the 3 years later price to 5x7 with last Ektachromes was over
USD 230,- if I remember corect.

I used to use an 82a (I think) blue filter with Portra 160 for cold urban shots. Worked well

So mathjeff0, what did you end up shooting?
