Video Transcript

"Once your film has been properly washed, the next step is to dry your film. What I have right here is a very professional film dryer, an excellent way to dry your film, but fairly expensive. And if you're doing this at your house, a great way to dry your film is in your bathroom with a clothesline. A really great trick someone taught me a number of years ago, was that they would take their shower, and they'd run the hot water extremely hot so you could actually see steam coming out. They would shut it off, and then they would take their film and they would hang it to dry in their bathroom. And their film would be dry within ten to fifteen minutes. I thought that was the neatest trick for doing this at your house. Wet film is very, very fragile. This is the part where you don't want to start looking at stuff, and wondering about it. You just want to hang it up to dry, and then you can inspect it. So I do, is I just take a clothespin, take my film, and I clip it on the one end to keep that on. And then I take my clothespin and I clip it on the bottom. This will allows your film to dry straight, and not all crooked. Once my film is dry, I can begin to cut it up and make contact sheets."
