You didnt load the film in properly. Happened to me on my first roll as well. Make sure your rewind knob is also turning while you advance the film.

@@drakedoggy103 I found out that actually my developer got contaminated with blix. not sure how it happened I'm usually pretty careful about it but yeah my developer was totally shot, the entire roll including the markings on the edges by the sprocket holes was clear.

I worked at a 1 hour lab in the late 80's. Biggest issue was the leader wasn't pushed into the takeup spool and slipped out. When you advance the film on a 35mm camera the rewind knob should spin. Also if there are vertical lines throughout the entire roll you rewound the film backwards. Damn I have so many stories.

so stoked to be on the cinestill team 💗 love making these lil videos that help so much in such a short amount of time ⏰

Pushing and pulling cinestill films would be an awesome video!

so helpful!! i appreciate you guys so much💜💙

Scenario 4 - which happend to me at my first three rolls of film at my vacation in italy with 3 other friends - to load your film the wrong way ... the numbers on your camera will go up as you release the shutter again and again, but in the end you messed up loading your film the right way. RIP

Super helpful concise video. Not just for home dev, but also to argue if it was you or your lab who messed up.

Thanks for this. Scenario 3 happened to me recently with a roll of 110 film, which was really surprising. I started suspecting it was the roll of film, but it was the first roll I had developed off of this particular camera. But there are no markings on the edges. And it felt like the film “broke free” at the end when 110 stays attached to its feeder side. So somehow, it definitely all got exposed.

Bummer to hear! But it's good to identify the possibilities that may have caused this. Hope the next time ends up being more successful!

First time user and film roll is blank, lots of memories and now gone

beautifhl explannation man!

This is very helpful! I'm wondering what you think might be the issue if SOME (about 13 out of 36) of my exposures are just blank but the rest developed just fine. It seems as if something happened about halfway through the roll.

Always test the chemistry

Just developed my first roll of 110 and I had this happen. My first couple of photos did develop but after the first two it started to fade until eventually the rest of the roll wasn't even showing anything. Some good tips for what I should look out for. Thanks. I used an old Kodak ektra 200 camera

could you make a video going in depth about pushing and pulling film?

we've heard this a lot! it's in the plans. Thanks for suggesting 😊

I develop old exposed film most 40 years old and older. Just because a roll of film was taped shut after removal from the camera doesn't guarantee images 40+ years later when developed. The heat the film is subjected to is a major factor. Also, film wrapped and taped that was displayed for years in bright sunlight will be worthless. Of all the films I process over 50 years past exposure date, only about 30% yield any images.

Please tell me, I have several empty frames in the developed film and one half-developed frame, what could it be?

I was just wondering what you think the issue could be if just half my roll was blank, but other half came out fine?

0.36 wow same setup xD

hey yo, do you know anyway to get fully blank already exposed films? i need some for a cosplay and dont know where to get them

Option 4 you shot 20 year old slide film that was not freezer kept so the box speed was not even close to accurate 😬😬😬😬

I'm worried, I had a film where there were just the last three photos, the rest of the film was transparent, but the edge printing was visible. I don't know what it could be but I'm scared that there is something wrong with my camera.

Haha I've had that happen to me like 15 years ago. I was so choked. lol

Can film be screwed up if the rinse was way too hot?

last night developed a roll of fuji 160, a bit hesitant because the cinestill was already 9 months after converting both developer and blix from powder. my hunch was right, no images nor frame numbers, exhausted developer i guess 😂

My camera: no batteries

Mine was all blank😢 i dont know why…its my first time using a film after took too long i play with my camera…

Are those blank ones shot during daylight? it could be lightmeter issue where shutter is not open at all, causing some of roll unexposed at all ( no light hitting the film for the blank ones)

Heyyy i have a question. What happen to the film roll if i wasn't able to develop it for a year? Will the output get affected? Photolabs are far from our place. Please enlighten me

@CineStillFilm

Hey there! Leaving film undeveloped for a long period of time subjects your film to age fog and the exposure fades from latent image failure. Ideally, you'll always want to process film as promptly as possible for the best results from your film. Sorry to hear photo labs are far from you! We're happy to say that we offer tools and kits to easily start processing at home. you can find more information about our processing kits here: cinestillfilm.com/collections/laboratory-supplies/_starter-kits We hope this helps!

if its blank then can I still use it again?

Hi Mika, unfortunately you cannot use it again. Once it is exposed to light, it will no longer work to take photographs.

can i put the film into the camera in the light or will it be ruined

Best to load the film in the subdue light. Make sure that is is fully l on the take up sprocket before you close the back. Then after you close the back. Put your had or lens cap over the lens and advance the film to one. Than you can check by trying to rewind the film if you have a manual rewinder. If there is resistants' than you a good to go.

I had my first film roll developed and then Scenario 3 happened lol.

Hey there! We would love to help you with this. Please email us at support@cinestillfilm.com

Okay, I'll put on my old guy hat. IMO the primary reason you get new 35mm film photographers with rolls of blank film is that they are creatures of the internet. They get a camera and a roll of film or two. Then they play around with the camera, maybe quick scan a YT video, then declare themselves a fully vetted member of the tribe. Download and read the user manual for the camera? Not on your life. Instead, they screw around making mistakes until they admit that they are fools and seek help for someone who knows, or dive into YT and find a video like this one. Not a very efficient learning curve, is it? In my universe, each of these guys would get a Pentax K1000 loaner and have to return the camera and a developed roll of film images which are all properly exposed, or they would be banned to digital. Think of all the film we could save. Think of all of the mindless YT videos which would never be made.

Very arrogant.

I've had an issue where my camera works fine and the develop lab was not an issue and rolls were coming in blank. Nothing was expired. No cover on the camera lens. Nothing. I suspect it was an error during production of film. I contacted Fujifilm to hopefully get my 3 pack of film replaced. What I have heard is resellers are packaging expired film to resell as new. 🥲
