Shooting Color Infrared With film (for less than $100)
In this video, I try to recreate the color infrared aerochrome look with film for cheap (or at least as cheap as I can with film). I used a Pentax K1000 camera, Ilford SFX 200 film, a GREEN.L 720nm infrared filter, and some color gels to make a trichrome image.
Also the brief clip you see at 5:41 is from grainydays's video about aerochrome. I included it to show a yellow filter being used with aerochrome. It is not a clip I recorded myself. You can find it here: • Kodak Aerochrome

    I couldn't believe you went through the effort of stop-motion animating parts of this video but then realised what I was watching...a tutorial on how to do something time consuming and difficult for a fun visual effect.

    Amazing video Rafe. Like this is incredibly well edited and put together. And holy shit those are some amazing photos you took.

    Really cool video with some amazing results! Colour infrared is so rare on the Internet. Personally, I tried recreating aerochrome looks with Photoshop and I found my infrared camera to be worse for that than using a normal camera. As you can see, the wood-effect on aerochrome film doesn't really show up at all. Aerochrome is affecting mostly the colours. Getting red foliage in infrared is quite counter-intuitive since "white foliage" is way too bright to be converted to red. You will rather get some pink look with an infrared camera or you will have to underexpose the foliage, which makes little sense, either. In the end, I gave up on trying to recreate that look. It makes little sense with an infrared camera. If you turn green into red in post-processing you are already closer to that look, with a normal camera.

    The sky does NOT scatter IR light well, hence it looks dark. Rayleigh scattering cross section is proportional to 1/lambda^4. Lambda is large for infrared, therefore the cross section for scattering is small, and you see it dark.

    Excellent video, and really lovely results here! I've done 2-exposure composites on digital, combining the red and green channels of a visible light photo with a greyscaled 720nm photo, but not the film trichrome method. Definitely excited to see what else you do with this, and how your next photos turn out shooting with the infrared-red-green color model.

    It's super exciting to see more people covering this topic here on KZread. I have a couple videos on my channel exploring the topic and I'd like to make more, specifically exploring Aerochrome colors on full spectrum digital cameras; seeing this definitely makes me wanna get back to that. Oh, and from what I'm seeing, your Green.L filter probably lets in a considerable amount of visible light on the red end. If your digital camera hasn't been infrared converted, the amount of infrared getting through is tiny, so it can get easily overwhelmed by too much leakage of red light. Glad to see it worked well for film though!

    @@spectrazone Thanks for letting me know about the filter! I suspected it let more visible light pass through than it should from it's reviews and the fact that I could see through it with my naked eye. But like I said in the video, it was fairly cheap anyway and I'm just glad it works well enough with film.

    Old DSLRs have pretty weak Infrared HotMirrors, and old DSLRs are cheap enough you couldp probably buy some and not worry about breaking it when removing said hotmirror. Digital infrared is alot more cost effective than analog if you know what your doing. CCD sensors also have better infrared reception. MPB has loads of cheap old DSLRs.

    I have "experimented" with Rollei IR 400...but i used a IR, red and yelow filter. Green is not a prime color and the data sheat of rollei had compensation charts for yelow so i used it and it "worked" for me. Anyway cool video!

    Hmmm. I have a set of tricolor filters and an R72 (equivalent) for my RB67, and several rolls of Rollei IR 400. At ten frames per roll, I'd get three tricolors -- or, if I use my 6x4.5 back, I'd get five tricolors. Lots of filter swapping, and I need to check if the RB67 has an IR refocusing mark on the scale (on the side of the body, since the camera focuses with a bellows). Might have to look up the filter factor to use with an R72 on that film...

    There's no way that IR filter is actually IR. It would block visible light way more than what you show.

    yeah, the filter lets in a LOT of visible light for a filter claiming to be infrared. This is why it didn't work with a digital camera. That said, it blocks enough visible light for the infrared film to do it's work, so it's good enough for my purposes.

    Aerochrome is beyond overrated. It looks pretty bad most of the time
