Hi!
so i just shot my friends with Kodak Aerocolor IV 2460, but it turns very red like it's burnt?
i used this roll before, sometimes the color turns nice but sometimes it's weirdly turns red. does anyone ever encounter this kind of problem?

Yes, I agree there's a lot of red in a couple of these. The middle shot looks okay.

How is this film being developed? Are you sending it to the same lab each time?

First, this film is not "normal" C-41 film. It's made for aerial photography. That means you get what you get. Colors will never be "normal". And yeah, a big part of that is the lab you send it to and how well they develop and scan your film.

but does being "aerial photography" film have to do with it being so red? i saw other shoots with this film, but theirs don't turn red like this

Yes, it has a clear base instead of the normal C-41 films that have an orange base. Software and scanners can have a tough time with the colors because of this. It's like when you process slide film (E-6 process) in C-41, you get "off" colors.
You could send that film to 10 different labs and get 10 different results.
