Mousou Black

This is pretty cool stuff. I'd like to try some of this stuff to make a photogrphy "black box".

cool

Interesting, certainly. But he obviously never spent any time in a photographic darkroom. The ability to navigate and perform the functions needed to process light sensitive materials in total darkness seems to be a lost concept.

IMO the cloth would have more advantages, more versatility photographically than the paint. Different if cinema is the medium.

That is a weird affect.
I thought you had the safe light in a darkroom.

Safe lights are for black and white, color film needs total darkness.

Even B&W film is sensitive to any light, a lit cigarette across the room could fog a film emulsion. Safe lights were used when printing on photo paper, it's not as sensitive to some lower wavelengths, by design.

I don't think it was actually intended as a photo room - he has other videos painting a room the world's whites white.

My daughter (IBM designer in work and painter/ maker in hobby life) has spoken of the politicization of these colors, (go figure) One person bought the exclusive rights to the previous blackest black (Vantablack) so his arch enemy made a blacker black (black 3.0) that everyone but his arch nemesis can use.

Just in case you wondered about human nature and the ability of people to fight over literally anything.

But, back to cars, they also painted a car.

And here I thought only Stealth aircraft had the 'darkest' paint.

The next Batman movie should have the Batmobile painted in this.
