I love to do double exposures with my Lomo friends in and out the country. I love to see different cultures, the cities and life in general in one frame of picture. But apart from mark the film to do successful double exposures, there is an easier method...
1. Before you load the film, make sure you fold your film’s sprocket holes. I usually fold up to the second or third sprocket holes of the film.
2. Load your film as usual. Make sure the sprocket holes are inserted correctly into the spool.
3. close your cover camera, and shoot as usual
4. send the film to your friend and tell them to use the same method as you are
here are some double project examples using this method
My Wedding Shoot I like to take the picture of weddings. I can feel a sense of satisfaction and joy with each moment of happiness and beauty that I could capture using film and a Lomography camera.
Visit the Lion Dance Shop I was lucky to be able to view the process of making this dragon statue for the traditional dance performance.
LC-A + Wide Lens LC-A+ Wide Lens is one of my favourite accessories.

Good idea... assuming your partner's got the same type of take-up spool as you. I use Feds and Zorkis almost exclusively for 35mm, and this would be useless on those, so you might want to mark the first frame anyway. Just a thought.
hey guys,can someone explain me this tipster? sorry, my fault... but i don't understand why you have to fold the film and how you can load it then. anyway, i love double exposures and the pics here are great! :) thanks everyone!
@monkeyalien there is something wrong with the film advance thingy. it skip films. my LC-W does like that too. I can roll the hole inside the camera while the holding the film advance knob outside the casing still. I am going to claim warranty soon.
Great idea! better than just marking the sprockets. It would definitely work if you're using the same type of camera both times but I'm wondering if you'd still have some sort of misalignment if you use different 35mm camera models. I'm not sure if there's a standard distance between the frame and the take up spool , maybe someone knows? :)
@hughh - i have try do self double use on lca and lca +,diana f+ 35mm back,colorsplash, and everthing is ok, it will be misalignment when your patner not use the same sprocket hole
This is a wonderful idea, yet so simple. Thanks for sharing it. Sometimes people get blocked, ha!
I loved all three galleries. I have a question: How did you do to get the doubles with adi_totp to get placed one next to the other instead of perfectly overlapped? I liked it so much! Especially the one with the "giant" teddy bear lounging at the pool. That one was genius!!
Ohhh, I see!! So you covered, say, the left side all the time and he covered the right side, right? What a magnificent idea!! Thanks! I made my own splitzer cutting half of a lens cap. :)
@lisabegush - every diana model camera can make a double exposure,either you use 35 or 120 film, i just try this method on 35 mm camera only, i never try it on 120 film.

I always load on the 2nd sprocket - but I never fold. Definitely a good idea to have a consistent system.

@ariannapaloma you have to fold it as a mark which sprocket hole that you use,also when you fold it the film will be more tight and secure
and these are some link how to pull out the film from the canister

@isabelbatteria - we both use splitzer for that double project
http://www.lomograph(…)-creativity
or maybe you can make your own splitzer like this
