Seems V&A has many very nice Video teases, not tutorial
Search youtube and complain
How was it made? Calotypes | V&A
Perhaps we need to step up OUR game
if it is really "how its made" this is what it is: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0835010/
Not sure if it really their short film though ... it might just be something the VA-M produced in house to show people the joy of photography.
I'm no expert at photography (or anything else for that matter ) and I figured the people producing the video weren't WP experts either, they were just over simplifying a complicated process,
You know, ... like all those videos people make on that website that last for 2 minutes, they show some sort of exotic food recipe, and they leave out amounts of ingredients and how to actually *make* the dish..
As successful as How It's Made has been (the show started in 2001), I'm pretty sure that the Victoria & Albert didn't fly a crew from Montréal, where the show is based, to the Isle of Wight to make a 2:41 film about wet plate collodion As I understand it, the V&A produces its digital content in-house, directly and via freelancers.
U.K. calotype artist Rob Douglas, who does the demonstration in the video, has a website: Paper, Shadows and Light
This is the V&A page on Fox Talbot and the Calotype. There are actually two videos. Also a link to Fox Talbot's work in the V&A collection.
