KODAK Ektachrome 100D [7294]
16mm Color Reversal Film
Shooting Conditions:
Bright colors, heavy contrast and minimal grain size characterize this movie film. 100D is best suited for shooting in bright sunlight situations. It may also be shot indoors with very bright 5500K color temperature lighting. This film is daylight balanced and rated ASA 100. This may be projected or digitally scanned for normal viewing.
Select from 400′ loads or 100′ daylight loads depending on your shooting needs. 400′ loads contain 11 minutes of film while 100′ loads contain 2.75 minutes of film if shot at 24fps. 400′ loads must be loaded in total darkness while 100′ loads may be loaded in subdued light.

Normal Processing: With normal E-6 processing, this unique film comes closest to recreating the classic “Kodachrome” look we remember as seen in the super 8 Ektachrome sample to the right. Color reversal films like 7294 were historically used for home movies dating back to 1935. In addition, this type of film saw extensive use in professional sporting events (baseball, football, etc), breaking nightly news, government films, cooperate films, public school films and nature documentaries made for television. This film is ideal for recreating historical events spanning from the mid 1930’s to the 1980’s. This film may be projected or digitally scanned for normal viewing.
Cross Processing: If cross processed in color negative chemistry (ECN-2), Ektachrome becomes a bit of a hybrid. It inherits some aspects of negative while heavily skewing color to a yellow/green hue as seen in the far left picture. Much of the color discrepancy can be left in for visual appeal or corrected out in post as seen in the right side picture. The film itself becomes a purple negative that can no longer be projected.
16mm Normal Processing Sample:
A trailer of Spike Lee’s “Da 5 Bloods” can be seen bellow. The shots framed 4:3 were a combination of historical archival footage mixed with current 16mm 7294 Ektachrome (processed normally) to help it blend in for a 60’s aesthetic. The 16:9 portions representing current day were shot on digital. Spectra provided film services for this project.
