Digitizing Film: The Post-Production Workflow of the Rescued Film Project

Photographer Levi Bettweiser and his Rescued Film Project got quite a bit of press back in January after Bettweiser found, scanned, and shared 31 rolls of undeveloped film from World War II. In March, Bettweiser offered a look at how he processes found rolls of C-41 film in his home darkroom.

Bettweiser has just released a new 12-minute walkthrough video (shown above), explaining his post-production process. He covers handling negatives, picking a film scanner, how he scans his film, and how he manages his data and makes sure everything is properly backed up.
