Scanning film is one of the biggest issues with shooting film today. It’s not that it’s particularly difficult, it’s just a pain because most of us tend to do it so little. Maybe a roll or two every few weeks. Pulling out the scanner and hooking it up can be a chore, so we put it off and just never get around to it. I’ve got plenty of rolls here that have been developed but not scanned yet.

Photographer, Matt Day, however, has a simple solution to this problem. A solution that’s compact, quicker to set up than a scanner on your computer, as well as being faster and easier to actually “scan” in your images. Using a simple copy stand and an LED panel, he can get through a lot of film through very quickly and easily.

If you’ve heard of Matt before, you know that he shoots a lot of film. It’s pretty much what 99% of his YouTube channel’s about. But he also shoots a Fujifilm X-T3, and uses this to “scan” his film into the computer. Matt uses a fairly standard copy stand, typically designed for photographing documents, but has could an LED panel that fits perfectly on top of its base onto which he can lay his negatives.

With the Fuji X-T3 mounted above, he can happily and quickly snap away at all his film while using a remote trigger to prevent vibrations. If your light panel is significantly larger than the film, you’ll want to probably cover some of it up with black gaffer tape as Matt has in his setup.

The video above is for black & white film, but Matt’s also posted about “scanning” colour film with this method, and the differences it can entail.

World of Wisdom from Zen Cinematographer, Bradford Young. Now that you have had the chance to listen to him speak, this video will make that much more sense, his words will sink in even more. Thank you everyone who came out Friday to hear him speak.

#ucsd #ucsd students #filmmaking #bradford young #cinematography

Bradford Young will be speaking at PRICE CENTER THEATER this FRIDAY, April 27th at 3:30pm. This is an INCREDIBLE opportunity not to be missed for any Media student! Bradford is best known for his work on SELMA, A MOST VIOLENT YEAR and ARRIVAL (my personal favorite). He was nominated for an Academy Award for his work on Arrival and is the FIRST African-American cinematographer to be nominated for an Academy Award.

In 2004, Iranian Artist Shirin Neshat, began working on a feature-length film based on Shahrnush Parsipur’s novel Women Without Men. The film, described by the New York Times’ Stephen Holden as “visually transfixing,” profiled four women living in Tehran during the American-backed coup that in many ways signaled the beginning of anti-US sentiment in the Middle East. This is the trailer for the film. It’s stunning and powerful in narrative. If you haven’t seen this film, this should be on your summer watch list.
