Ilford Photography created a series of neat animations for a video series, "Introduction to Film Photography," earlier this year. In the videos, some of which are embedded below, Ilford shows off various aspects of film photography, from an SLR itself to darkroom essentials. Even if you don't shoot film and are new to photography in general, the videos on aperture and shutter speed are universally applicable.

Film photography has been experiencing something of a resurgence of late, with companies such as Kodak bringing back a discontinued film and many other companies continuing to support analog photography. Companies such as Lomography not only offer analog photo products, but have even started up a photo contest dedicated to Lomography.
