  • Unique educational quirky

    This is an excellent regularly released pod for film photography nerds. Lots of good information. Not every episode is spectacular but most are very good and you will learn something. They have a quirky take on sound effects and music that takes a couple of episodes to get used to.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Film Photography Podcast 391 - Movie Film Prices
Q: Is there any possibility that you might look into offering magnetic soundstriping for projectable film?
The hosts say they do not currently have a U.S. partner for the service and describe options from Andec in Europe and Alberto Vangelisti's Movie Magnetic in Italy. They explain that magnetic striping allows compatible projectors to play recorded sound, voiceover, or music with the film.
Film Photography Podcast 391 - Movie Film Prices
Q: Can you share a forecast when Super 8 film inventory might show up again?
The hosts say Kodak supply is inconsistent, with some stocks arriving while others remain unavailable for months. FPP sells out quickly because it offers relatively low prices, but they cannot give a restock schedule.
Film Photography Podcast - Episode 390 - Minolta XK 35mm Camera
Q: Where would each of you recommend to send film out for developing?
The letter writer lists The Darkroom, Indie Film Lab, and Memphis Film Lab, and says Memphis Film Lab has been a favorite. The hosts do not give a specific recommendation in the excerpt.
Film Photography Podcast – Episode 389 - J.R. Bookwalter Part 2
Q: Somebody out there, a younger person interested in getting into movie soundtracks, making music from movies. What advice do you have for them?
Bookwalter notes that aspiring musicians can publish on platforms such as YouTube, Bandcamp, and Spotify, while stressing that discovery is difficult. He points to his son's experience and says creators need persistence, realistic expectations, and likely a job to pay the bills.
Film Photography Podcast - Episode 390 - Minolta XK 35mm Camera
Q: Is it possible to cut 35 millimeter down yourself to load these cameras, and do you need to find a spool and backing tape to be able to do it?
Mark says a simple homemade film slitter can cut 35mm film to about 16mm, while backing paper can be cut from a roll of 120 film. Making suitable spools is more difficult.
