Today in this video I'm going to talk about the top five things that can cause your images shot on film to look bad or underwhelming—causing problems like colour casts, muddy shadows, flat contrast, or even just images that don't meet your expectations.

There's nothing worse than getting started with film and not knowing why certain things look the way they do. The goal of this video is to help you lock down a simple but effective workflow that will allow you to get the most from the film you shoot.
