Developing film

Can anyone show me how to film my own film and where I can buy/get materials to do so?

I spent a lot of time in the darkroom... from ruining my first roll of film to doing composite and special effects

It's kinda tough to get materials nowadays... but here are some vids that might help with the process...

developing film

When the film is wound onto the spool and placed in the canister is where I ruined my first roll of film. The canister has a two part lid. The big part of the lid is the cover after you place the spool of film in the canister. That big lid has a smaller lid where you pour the chemicals in... all in complete darkness... not even a safe light. And I poured most of the chemical into the sink instead of into the canister.

My solution? I just left the whole lid off. Easily poured in the chemical in the open canister. I would put a finger in so I could tell when the film was completely covered. Popped the lid back on and hit the light switch.

For practice I would go through the whole process blindfolded.
