You are going to empty (waste) one of them, so it&#8217;s best if you have some expired or unwanted film to sacrifice. Let&#8217;s name the two rolls A and B. <em>Roll A will be the roll which the film you are going to use, and roll B will be the &#8217;empty&#8217; one to load the film from roll A into<\/em>. Confused yet?<\/p>\n<p>To start, pull out all the film (!) from roll B and cutting it at the end, leaving about 1 to 1.5 inches of the film still attached to the canister. Remember &#8230; should you drink too much Red Bull and yank the entire film strip out &#8230; you&#8217;ll have to sacrifice another roll for this.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/images\/redscale\/rs0.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><br \/>\nNext, take roll A and cut off the leader. Simple? <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/images\/redscale\/rs1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Now it&#8217;s time to bring them together &#8230; take up the ends of the film from the two rolls together. Remember : the two opposite sides of the film should be facing up.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/images\/redscale\/rs2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/images\/redscale\/rs3.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nNow for the final part &#8230; use a black bag or do it in a total dark room &#8230; roll the entire content of roll A into the &#8217;empty&#8217; roll B. You can use a scissors to do this.<\/p>\n<p>Once you are at the end of the roll, remember to cut the film leaving about an inch on roll A. You will need the roll A as the empty roll B next time. Hmm &#8230; do I sound confusing? Sorry but I&#8217;ve already tried my best \ud83d\ude1b You can now load roll B into your camera. You can cut off some of the leading end to make a new leader so that loading is possible. Oh, don&#8217;t forget to overexpose by 1 stop (eg. using ISO 400 redscale film, set your camera to ISO 200)<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><em>&#8230; my secret weapon!<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n<p align=\"justify\">I found this unused plastic pinhole camera which I&#8217;ve never bothered to use. I cut off the film pickup on the right, and used this to wind\/roll my redscale film. Easy ain&#8217;t it?
