Cinestill has announced the launch of 'RedRum,' a limited edition medium format red scale film. The new film was designed to produce monochromatic red and yellow-tinted images that lend for particularly Halloween-ish photoshoots.
According to the company, 'RedRum' represents their continued effort to advance the "analog renaissance," making playful and high-quality film lines more readily available to the broader public. CineStill's Haloween-ready 'RedRum' line effectively turns everyday photos into stylized, horror movie-like moments.
Utilizing CIneStill's 800T emulsion, the new film line is particularly well-suited for red-scale photography as there is no anti-halation layer to interfere with the light. In addition, the film itself is a color negative ISO 200 film in 120 format, allowing for superior sharpness and bolder colors.
