Force Expiring Film

[tkamiya]

Another difficulty for OP may be controlling the kind and the amount of damage caused to the film. I would this he/she would want the damage to fall somewhere between none at all and totally trashed. It may be easier to do this post processing, like get a film processed and torture the strip via various method before printing.

If the OP, or anyone else wants it, I have some rolls of Fuji Superia 400(?) that has been sitting in my RV for 2 years.

Also, we're was the OP the last 2 months when I was selling all my expired gold film haha!

I have 2 rolls left, do you want to compare my actual expired gold to your experimented fake expired?

Also, flying camera, my Kodak gold looked awful, I don't think it's as much a zombie as you think.

I used to work in a minilab - I know of wherefore I speak. I probably printed several thousand rolls of the stuff in the course of my four years at the store. The only time we saw stuff that looked BAD was when it was old enough to qualify for a drivers license. This is not to say we didn't get stuff that showed signs of aging (decreased contrast, increased grain, color shifts), but it was almost never unprintable and rarely hideous.

But he did say it is Kodak Gold.

I've still got some 120 size rolls of Gold 100 in my freezer.

None unexpired, I expect.

I want to force expire some film quickly. Don't worry it's not expensive film (Kodak Gold). Anybody know what's best I thought of sticking it through the dryer, or in the toaster oven. Anybody know what's best?

Ill try it in the glove box for a week or two. Thanks for all the responses! I'm looking to make it look like its been expired for a few years. StoneNYC, when I find the best way to expire it and then get it developed (i get it done at Costco) I'll get back to you

 

[jimmybuzaid]

What about putting the film in the dryer or in a toaster oven? Will that work?

OK, you put it on the dashboard of your car and drive into Death Valley. Make sure all the windows are closed and then leave the car and hot foot it out of the valley (this may pose a problem and you may need a bottle/several bottles of water). Return after a couple of months, retrieve your car and film and process it. Hay presto!
