Take authentic vintage-style photos with a camera you can make yourself. In a world saturated with selfies and instant effects layered over endless phone photos, take a step back and experience the science of the spiritual home of photography.

To make this homemade DIY pinhole camera, you’ll need the following items:
• Stiff black card
• Paper templates http://www.rigb.org/docs/camera_template_0.pdf
• Glue and black tape
• Scissors, craft knife and metal ruler
• Aluminium can
• Needle or pin
• Cork and a pair of pliers
• Fine emery or sandpaper
• Velcro strips
Cut the template out of the black card and fold it into shape, and cut a small space for the pinhole shutter. The pinhole itself is made from a small strip from a drinks can. Poke a hole with your needle, and then slot this into a shutter made of black card. You can attach a removable lid on your box with some strips of Velcro, and fix the shutter in place with glue. With the photographic film safely in the sealed box, you’re ready to take photos.
Making pinhole cameras is an excellent educational activity to do at school or at home. It can introduce children to the art and science of analogue photography, and also help instil a deeper understanding of the digital technology so prevalent today.
This film was created as part of a workshop for the L’Oréal Young Scientist Centre at the Royal Institution in March 2015, generously supported by L’Oréal.

i built one for my science fair project
From where should I see
Imagine taking a normal photo with this camera and tell your friends that this photo is 100 years ago
Hii, if I'm going to use a film of 35mm, where do I put it in the box (which distance), what will be the distance of the object I'm suppose to take the photo. Also, because I'm using a film does someone knows what will be the time of exposure will be & time in the substance ? Thank you this look really cool 🙂
Idk but he sounded like an NPC
So what kind of paper we used to expose
i put 3 images together and now its coloured
I can't hear what he's saying for that bloody music.
Anyone can make it and put hide it somewhere and see woman nude 👀
Instead of playing music it should been narrated instead of the subtitles because one has look at subtitles and camera making.
I can't wait until i take pictures
Can you plz tell me where you can get photographic film in India?
Put your phone away
What size is the stiff black card?
sorry man, i stopped watching bc the music s way too loud
Brilliant liked and subbed cheers 📷❤️📷
does it work???
So complicated
Good video but annoying music!
CONGRATULATIONS FOR 1M SUBSCRIBERS
you can also make a pretty easy camera using the container for oatmeal. just spray paint the plastic lid. I point this out only to say that there is lots of ways to make a pinhole camera so why not try variations?!
Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
From where can we see see and set the camera at the best place ? or we have to just guess set the camera from our ourselves ???? 🧐🧐
why could the pinhole not simply be a hiole in the box? why does it have to be from an aluminium can?
Do you need regular paper or something else to put into the camera?
What kind of photographic film can I use for this project? Do I need to avoid light exposure when putting the film into the camera?
Does anyone have the .pdf template for this video? The link doesn’t seem to work
Plot twist: "I´ve recorded this whole video with this camera (stop motion)"
In a homemade pinhole camera if I use normal a4 paper instead of photo paper, can i get the image?
Question question, you guys what type of fotographic paper have you used? 'cause I can't find the right one
Im from 2022
Thank you so much 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏it helped me a lot in my school project 👍👍👍👍👏👏👍👏
nail polish remover (acetone) will remove the paint off can (tin).
Are you using a film roll to take the image or developing paper??
What kind of film did you use? Is it Polaroid 600 film?
the link of the paper template is not available already :'(
