00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.080
velcro the microwave and play-doh have nothing to do with

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:10.160
film aside from the fact that They were all accidental inventions in 1727 a

00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:13.280
german doctor named johann heinrich schultz was working

00:00:12.200 --> 00:00:16.720
with silver nitrate That would change color when exposed

00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:19.720
to light to figure out It was light and not heat Which

00:00:19.119 --> 00:00:24.480
caused this discoloration shultz tried baking these nitrates he started

00:00:23.240 --> 00:00:27.960
placing cutouts over the solution and exposed it to light

00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:32.680
creating a permanent shadow of the cutout unlocking the Keys

00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:35.360
to photography about 100 years later

00:00:34.120 --> 00:00:38.559
Which US liquid iodine on a silver copper plate

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:42.520
allowed for more detailed images other than just shadows this method

00:00:41.879 --> 00:00:46.559
was used for the first true photographs Unfortunately the

00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:51.199
original wet plate made only one Photo per exposure until

00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:54.840
1841 when William Henry fox talbot created a process

00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:58.039
That would make a negative image Just Like a mold for

00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:01.239
vinyl Record this negative image is used to make

00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:04.519
multiple Positive copies From A single

00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:07.520
negative image the dry plate was later invented and used in

00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:11.040
combination with a paper base to create the first flexible

00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:13.840
role of film these roles made photography portable

00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:17.799
simple and consumer friendly the downside However was

00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:20.280
that nitrate film is dangerous the biggest issues were

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:24.439
seen in movie theaters nitrate film reels had to pass over an

00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:28.840
extremely hot light bulb to project an image it even caused

00:01:27.119 --> 00:01:33.600
a fire in Paris in 1897 Which claimed

00:01:31.360 --> 00:01:35.119
126 lives to make matters worse

00:01:34.399 --> 00:01:39.000
nitrate film produces ITS own oxygen so a film

00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:43.920
real catches on fire it must burn itself out until the 1950s

00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:48.000
special fireproof booths had to be built in theaters so

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:52.200
what changed in the 1950s that dosed the Need for fireproof

00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:55.479
booths cellulose acetate film happened or safety

00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:58.960
film for short so Why is it called safety film well

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:04.079
most obviously freak Because it didn't create self fueling unstoppable

00:02:02.399 --> 00:02:07.320
fires Of course there was a downside However about 10

00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:10.479
years after safety film became popular reports began

00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:14.040
popping up of the film starting to degrade releasing

00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:17.760
acidic acid and unpleasant smells this became known AS

00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:20.560
vinegar syndrome and brought a great deal of focus to the

00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:23.920
overall Quality and shelf life of film while

00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:27.440
this process has been slowed down to about 50 years in ideal

00:02:26.200 --> 00:02:30.720
conditions It's still an issue with Modern film why

00:02:30.040 --> 00:02:34.680
haven't we fixed this yet well development of film technology has

00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:38.000
slowed significantly due to the masses mostly using digital

00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:40.840
photography methods around the MID 2000s their ability to

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:45.319
quickly preview shots and Store thousands of images made digital cameras

00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:48.360
much easier and more convenient than film

00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:51.640
photography overtook the market so much that consumer film

00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:54.360
sales dropped to less than 1% of what

00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:59.200
They were during film's peak years so does film still have ground to stand on

00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:03.480
Where is it headed well there still some advantages to film the main being

00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:06.560
detail film doesn't have pixels like a digital Camera

00:03:05.480 --> 00:03:10.879
therefore film's resolution is calculated through angular resolution

00:03:09.920 --> 00:03:15.920
the general ability to distinguish small details of an object

00:03:14.040 --> 00:03:19.480
standard 35 mm film resolution Falls between 4 and 16

00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:24.200
megapixels with larger film sizes reaching AS high AS

00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:25.760
400 megapixels film also excels in

00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:30.159
shutter LAG increased control over exposure levels improved color

00:03:28.519 --> 00:03:33.720
saturation accuracy Quality and greater Dynamic range lenses

00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:36.319
and Camera equipment for film cameras are also considerably

00:03:35.799 --> 00:03:41.080
cheaper in comparison to their digital counterparts making entry much

00:03:39.799 --> 00:03:44.400
more affordable so while digital video and photography have

00:03:43.239 --> 00:03:48.280
taken quite a toll on film It's still clings to life with

00:03:46.720 --> 00:03:52.000
many analog pur and even social media photographers using

00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:54.640
It exclusively asram has over 11.5

00:03:53.760 --> 00:04:00.239
million photos tagged with #film #film isn Dead and

00:03:58.799 --> 00:04:02.879
35 so for now film is still alive But I

00:04:02.200 --> 00:04:06.599
