CineStill REDRUM Film

Red scale film is created by exposing the film through the base side rather than the emulsion side. This causes light to pass through the anti-halation layer first, filtering out blue and green light and resulting in distinct, warm red, yellow, and orange color shifts.

While the film is rated at ISO 200, red scale photography can be unpredictable depending on the lighting conditions. It is generally recommended to meter for ISO 200, but you may want to experiment with bracketing your shots to see how the specific lighting in your scene affects the color intensity.

No, this film does not have an anti-halation layer. This design choice is intentional, as it contributes to the film's unique aesthetic by enhancing sharpness and color saturation, while also allowing the red scale effect to work properly.

Because the film is based on CineStill's 800T emulsion but reverse-rolled, it performs best in daylight settings to achieve the intended red scale effect. While you can use it in various lighting, the color shifts will be most dramatic and consistent in bright, natural light.

You should expect a highly stylized, creative look rather than accurate color reproduction. Your images will feature a dominant warm palette with heavy red and orange tones, making it ideal for artistic projects rather than documentary or portrait work where natural skin tones are required.
