Water Bath? Pitcher Method? What does that even mean? Well, there are multiple ways to process your film, based on different equipment, timings, temperatures, and technique. In this video, we examine two processes and compare the pros and cons of each.

Andre is a champion of the water bath method, whereas Linus is all in on the pitcher method. These preferences are based on ease of use, time constraints, easy auxiliary equipment, and preferred technique. Take a watch, learn about different film processing techniques and get inspired to process your own film at home — you might even find a new favorite way to process your film.

Don't forget to comment below telling us what we should cover in future videos! Which process have you worked with before? Did you know about both before this video? Maybe it changed your perspective on at-home development.
