The developing tank he is using lets no light onto the film reel, but you are correct when loading the film on the reel and then into the tnak it must be dark, be it darkroom or use fo a lightbag

a few questions1) surely this needs to be in a dark room with no light2) how do you heat up or cool down the liquids

i was always told that it needs to be done in a darkroom with no light whatsoever.but i guess because it’s being filmed.doing it in the dark wouldn’t make alot of sense coz then we wouldn’t see anything.i guess theres not actually anything init for the demo.

1) only loading the film needs to be in a dark room.2) with hot or cold water.

It doesn’t really have a name. I composed it for an assignment at university a few years ago.

That’s not a silly question. If used correctly, the chemicals aren’t particularly dangerous, but they can be if you don’t use them correctly. Each chemical should come with a data sheet containing handling information. Personally, I just use disposable rubber gloves when handling chemicals. I also use them in a well ventilated area with windows open.

I don’t know how to develop colour film, as it is much harder to develop. However on the related videos on the right it looks like someone else has a colour developing video.You only need to load your film in complete darkness. Once its securely in the dev tank light cannot get to your film.

oh ok, our professor made it seems as if every step needs to be done in the dark. can you briefly explin the “parts per” because a certain amount of dev, bath, and fixer is mixed with the water, rite?? (i have tmax400 film and will most likely use the same 20 oz tank as in the video)
