Another process experiment! Snipped and filed the bottom plug off a roll of Fujicolor C100 so i could load it upside-down and get redscale without de-spooling and re-spooling the cassette.

First couple frames were very underexposed (I tried metering this backwards 100 ISO film around 25) and then from the 3rd it stopped advancing entirely—so here are a dozen or so shots all sharing one frame.

"Redscale" is exposing the film through the backing instead of exposing the emulsion directly, so called because...well if you can see the picture you have a pretty good idea why. It's all red tones!

I haven't looked into explanations, but my assumption is since the base for a C-41 color negative film is typically some shade of orange, light that passes through that side will activate the red-senstive channel of the emulsion itself while the green and blue hardly register the light, if at all. If that's really all that's going on, then why not just put a dark red filter over your lens? Well maybe I can try that sometime, too.

Judged against my intentions or my work as a craftsman in the process of preparing the film, this qualifies as a "fail" roll. But it's good, actually, so we're not gonna call it that. We'll call it the Omniframe instead.
