Cinestill 120 format Kickstarter project

[tonyc]

using an developping 70mm film is easy. use 70mm back. develop in jobo 2500-system using additional part of reel to hold extended 120/220-reel in position. also working with new paterson-tank-system.
or cut down 70mm to 120 for lab. someone in usa can deliver affordable china-produced slitters of almost any size. one of them is cutting down one end of perforated 70mm film to avoid cutting perforations inbetween. That could lead to troubles in machines.

Hello

Unfortunately Kodak Vision 3 70mm motion picture film is only
very slow Reversal stock, for making projection
copies and archiving.
Their lovely Negative stock is sadly all 65mm.

PS you can already buy Vision 3 stock sliced
into 120 spools from a shop in Folkstone UK.
But obviously a bit experimental as it features
a bit of sprockets still on one side.

It always sad if a nice project like this one does not reach its financing goal.
Perhaps they should have run on more tracks parallely, kickstarter, venture capital, regular loan...

Or lower their targets. Their target would have meant about $12 per roll even if they had to buy an entire master roll (which amounts to 12-15,000 rolls). I strongly doubt that the up-front cost would have been more than a quarter of that even in the worst case - unless their idea was to buy boxed rolls from some store at retail price. This rather looks as if their idea was to sell the entire product run immediately at full profit through Kickstarter - which is not the way crowd funding is supposed to work...

It wasn't successful, maybe not enough "advertising"

I didn't know. I use and like both CineStill 50 and 800 in 35mm.
Below an example of the 800.
