Sanctuary 📸 Rolleicord IIc (1949) 🎞️ Ilford Ortho Plus 80 120 Film ✨ Taken 29/09/26 by VIDIBIT I stumbled upon this weathered old house. Though it looked abandoned from the outside, an occasional loud slamming sound reverberating from within certainly kept me on my toes. #vidibit #believeinfilm
South by Southwest 📸 Praktica Super TL 3 (1978) 🎞️ Kodak Ultramax 400 35mm Film ✨ Taken 08/08/26 to 09/08/26 by VIDIBIT Last weekend, Aaron and I took a little road trip through the southwest. I may have put too much trust in the TL 3's dodgy light meter! #vidibit #believeinfilm #coastal #35mm
In Monochrome 📸 Praktica Super TL 3 (1978) 🎞️ Ilford HP5 Plus 400 35mm Film ✨ Taken 18/07/26 by VIDIBIT Yesterday I went to Fremantle for my first ever photowalk, and I had great fun and met some cool people! Thanks SuperHidden, Ilford & Silver Halide Studios! #vidibit #believeinfilm #blackandwhite
EER13: Trackside 📸 Zeiss Ikonta 521/16 (1938) 🎞️ Fuji Neopan 400 120 Film; Expired 07/1999 ✨ Taken 12/07/26 by VIDIBIT It didn't take much to bring this 1930s folding camera back to life, so I took it out to the country for a quick spin. #vidibit #expiredfilm #zeissikonta #rural
11:25pm 📸 Sony Digital Mavica MVC-FD73 Camera (1999) 💾 1.44 Mb 3½-inch Floppy Disk ✨ Taken 03/07/26 by @spinninwiththestars & VIDIBIT We went for a drive late last night. Familiar surroundings feel so otherworldly when everyone else is asleep. Can you see the rabbit? #vidibit #sonymavica #digicam
EER12: Brick & Mortar 📸 Ferrania Falco (1947) 🎞️ Fuji Neopan 400 120 Film; Expired 11/1989 ✨ Taken 10/06/26 by VIDIBIT A less successful Expired Experiment - but even a failed experiment still teaches us something. For example, maybe it's better to overexpose than underexpose. #vidibit #expiredfilm
EER11: Bucolicism 📸 Kodak Retinette 1A (1959) 🎞️ Fujicolor Superia 100 35mm Film; Expired 09/2003 ✨ Taken 28/05/26 by VIDIBIT I've been meaning to test a roll of this 20-years-expired Fuji colour film, so I ran it through a camera that my father bought for me a few months ago. #vidibit #expiredfilm
Long Dog, Long Thoughts 📸 Lomography ActionSampler (2011) 🎞️ Ilford HP5 Plus 400 35mm Film ✨ Taken 12/04/26 by VIDIBIT Today Harvey turns 13, everybody wish him a happy birthday! This makes him about 80 in dog years. #vidibit #lomography #whippet #35mm #actionsampler #believeinfilm
EER10: Overgrowth 📸 Ensign Ful-Vue (1946) 🎞️ ORWO NP20 120 Film; Expired 05/1983 ✨ Taken 07/05/26 by VIDIBIT Nature has a way of reclaiming what gets left behind. Work has been keeping me busy, so I wanted to take a moment to go for a wander and slow down. #vidibit #expiredfilm #abandoned
Sir Kit of Board (2024) Brave Sir Kit is the hero of the tech world, ridding the sprawling circuitboards of digital gremlins and mechanical monsters that keep electronics from working. This was made for a uni class a few years ago. #vidibit #illustration #characterdesign #knight #retrotech
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
An Electronic Odyssey (2022) This project was made to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Magnavox Odyssey, and was one of the best animation projects that I had worked on at uni. Animation, music and narration by yours truly. #vidibit #videogames #odyssey #motiongraphics #retrogaming
Vidibit Motion Graphic (2022) For this project, I created a simple five second artist name reveal. I started using the name 'Vidibit' back in 2013. For the motion graphic, I conveyed the name through two elements - a videotape for 'vidi', and an 8-bit explosion for 'bit'. #vidibit #motiongraphics
Vidibot Walk Cycle (2021) This walk cycle loop was made for my first animation class at uni. There's a million things I'd change looking back at it now, but this was one of the best things to come out of my first year. #vidibit #animation #objecthead #robot #walkcycle
Old Eyes 📸 No. 3 Folding Pocket Kodak (1914); No. 1A Kodak Jr. (1917) 🎞️ Maxxum MaxxColour 200 35mm Film Cross Processed as B&W ✨ Taken 11/03/26 to 12/03/26 by VIDIBIT The first film test for two century-old cameras I've just restored: both Kodaks, a No. 3 & a No. 1A Jr. #vidibit #believeinfilm #35mm
Entropy (2015) In 2015, I co-created an experimental "cameraless" film using a collage of cut and spliced 16mm found footage with organic and painted elements. I had fun experimenting with different techniques to produce weird results! #vidibit #cameralessfilm #experimental #16mm #eyestrain
LAIOS Happy 12 years of Dungeon Meshi! This started off as a pencil sketch for a class fanart activity in 2024, then last year I would pick it up and add to it in Procreate. #vidibit #laiostouden #dungeonmeshi #deliciousindungeon #fanart
Sand to Shore 📸 Praktica Super TL 3 (1978) 🎞️ Kodak Portra 160 35mm Film ✨ Taken 16/01/26 to 21/01/26 by VIDIBIT I've just returned from an adventure down south. The camping portion was not made easy by the hot Australian summer. #vidibit #portra160 #shootfilmperth #australia #believeinfilm #kodak
Hello, I'm Tom (aka VIDIBIT)! I'm a queer multimedia artist who is obsessed with obsolete technology. My main goal for this year is to get back into making artwork - which includes film photography, 2D & 3D animation, and illustration projects. #vidibit #meettheartist #animation #retrotech
Expired Experiments: Roll 9 📸 Kodak Folding Brownie Six-20 (1937) 🎞️ Kodak Verichrome 620 Film; Expired [???] ✨ Taken [???] by Unknown I found a used roll of film inside a rusty camera. You can barely make out the silhouettes of people under beach umbrellas, unseen for 70 years. #vidibit #expiredfilm
Great and Small 📸 Praktica Super TL 1000 (1980) 🎞️ Kodak Kodacolor 200 35mm Film ✨ Taken 24/10/25 by VIDIBIT We visited Taronga Zoo, and managed to get a great view of the Sydney skyline in the process. The zoo was nice, though definitely very hilly! #vidibit #kodacolor200 #sydney #believeinfilm
Shipshape 📸 Praktica Super TL 1000 (1980) 🎞️ Kodak Kodacolor 200 35mm Film ✨ Taken 23/10/25 by VIDIBIT We visited the Australian National Maritime Museum, exploring the destroyer HMAS Vampire and submarine HMAS Onslow. A big day for fans of buttons, switches and valves. #vidibit #kodacolor200 #sydney
Per Tenebras 📸 Praktica Super TL 1000 (1980) 🎞️ Kodak Kodacolor 200 35mm Film ✨ Taken 22/10/25 by VIDIBIT I don't make a habit of wandering around a city at night with a film camera, but sometimes following a light in the darkness can lead you to interesting places. #vidibit #kodacolor200 #sydney
Sydney On Film 📸 Praktica Super TL 1000 (1980) 🎞️ Kodak Kodacolor 200 35mm Film ✨ Taken 21/10/25 by VIDIBIT Sydney was certainly an interesting experience! The weather was quite temperamental, but I made do. #vidibit #kodacolor200 #sydney #believeinfilm #kodak #filmisnotdead #35mm
Recently learned that I'm on two blocklists on here, and both of them are because I'm anti-AI. Which is hilarious because I only really post my photography stuff here. Like girl you have NO CLUE how much of an AI hater I am and I'm still blocked for it - they're doing my work for me at this point.
Ferroequinology 📸 Agfa Isolette 4.5 (1945) 🎞️ Harman Phoenix II 200 120 Film ✨ Taken 05/10/25 by VIDIBIT There's something so captivating about watching gigantic machines work. And wow, Phoenix II film is pretty different from its predecessor! #vidibit #120film #trains #believeinfilm #harmanphoenixii
Expired Experiments: Roll 8 📸 Kodak Brownie Cresta (1955) 🎞️ ORWO NP20 120 Film; Expired [???] ✨ Taken 22/09/25 by VIDIBIT This film did not want to be developed, but here are the results. Taken with my new Cresta (think Box Brownie but more restricted). #vidibit #expiredfilm #120film #believeinfilm
Expired Experiments: Roll 7 📸 Coronet Twelve-20 (1950) 🎞️ ORWO NP20 120 Film; Expired [???] ✨ Taken 12/09/25 by VIDIBIT Oh how I love box cameras. Their simplicity and lack of features often lead to interesting results, especially when paired with some ancient film. #vidibit #expiredfilm #120film
