Generated color character — not a sample photograph

CineStill 800T is motion-picture film adapted for still C-41 processing, tungsten-balanced for night and famous for the red glow it wraps around bright lights.

Character & look

Balanced for artificial light, 800T renders neon nights with cool, cinematic color and a distinctive red halation around point light sources caused by the removal of the remjet layer. It has become the defining look of modern night film photography.

Shooting & development tips

Use an 85 filter to correct in daylight, or embrace the cool cast. Halation is strongest around bright lights against dark backgrounds.

FAQ

Why does CineStill 800T glow red?

The anti-halation remjet layer of the original cine film is removed for C-41 processing, so bright lights bleed a red halo — a signature many shooters seek out.
