Spanish film brand Dubblefilm has launched a new, improved version of its Stereo experimental film.
The film is characterised by red and blue tints and Dubblefilm’s Adam Scott told Kosmo Foto they had tweaked the looks after learning lessons from the original emulsion.
“The current Stereo starts with a strong red, fades in the middle to blue and ends in strong blue. This was giving issues when scanning because the red was too strong,” Scott said.
“Additionally, the coolest part was the middle of the reel when it changes from red to blue. So we have taken this part and repeated it throughout the reel.
The new Stereo is available in both ISO 200 and 400 and the canisters are DX-coded so they can be used to full effect in compact cameras.
Dubblefilm said in its press release: “After extensive user feedback, we have refined and enhanced our film to bring you the most mesmerizing visual experience. The original Stereo film was celebrated for its unique ability to shift from a full red to a full blue, creating vibrant and dynamic photos unlike anything else on the market.
“Our new and improved version focuses on perfecting the gradient effect in the middle of the film that captured the imaginations of its shooters. In this iteration, we’ve eliminated the static colours at the beginning and end, concentrating solely
on the stunning gradient transition that made the original so special.
“Expect to see your images bathed in an exquisite blend of hues that evoke emotion and creativity in every frame. This continuous gradient effect creates an unparalleled, surreal experience, transforming your photographs into works of art.”
The film is available to purchase now and costs €17.10 for the ISO 200 version and €18.50 for the ISO 400 version, Dubblefilm said.
To accompany the launch, Dubblefilm shared sample photos taken on the film by Laura Sales, some of which can be seen in the gallery below.
