    Kodak - Winds of Change

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz6XjXu-oT8

    "This is a commercial that was produced for internal use. But it has become so popular, especially with employees, that Kodak has released it for external viewing. It demonstrates that Kodak not only understands it's changing business but also has a sense of humor."

    or, alternatively, as someone on another list said This is the Kodak equivalent of the infamous, politically suicidal, Howard Dean speech. ...

    Wow! Let's see, if I move the pecans from last season and the Sara Lee cake, I should be able to get about 200 boxes of Tmax into the freezer in the garage.:-)

    really really not keen on kodak anymore!! Gotta say while us in the west are finding all the companies kill off their production, I hope the asians pick up more of the film business. Divide it up between Ilford, those European brands (foma?) Lucky/Era/Shanghai and add a new colour film business based around agfa slide chemistry, and film is set for another few decades.

    Winds of change... yeah, breaking winds. Hysterical, but utterly frightening in the long run. A lot of those technologies scare me, especially the GPS and the "fix-it-all-in-the-camera" tools. Turn every snapshot into evidentiary material, but at the same time, render it useless as evidence because the camera tinkered with the white balance and the color saturation (and Lighting?!?!?! dunno about that one... kinda hard to reposition the sun).

    Just think - if your camera knows where it is, "they" will know where you are, too.

    "Listen to what they say, but watch what they do."

    They'll stop producing film AND fall behind the technology and marketing curve, and be out of business in 4 years.

    Maybe Kodak can get back in the digital game as a major player and if they can then good for them, just so long as they keep churning out TriX Tmax, PlusX and D-76.
