I received 2 rolls of OROW film from @8storeytree . They are limited edition C41 film : NC500 and NC400. It is the first brand new color photographic film that they have launched in decades, proudly still produced in Bitterfeld-Wolfen on the original site where film manufacture has been a tradition since 1910.
At the core of their new color film lies a unique chemical formula based on the wonderful and legendary Agfa stock last used in the Oscar winning film ‘Out of Africa’. Famous for their greens, desaturated shadows and enhanced grains, these are all aspects that we are embracing for their new addition.
With Wolfen NC500, they are not trying to imitate current stocks available on the market, they are creating an alternative, something with different characteristics and a different palette.
In this video I will share how I shoot a roll of it during the annual Johore Bahru, Malaysia Chingay procession.
