CNN Profile: FILM NOT DEAD YET!

[MattKing]

Anyone care to help me so I can see this video? See my earlier post

Try this link - I think that it may be their "standard" viewer:

Thanks Matt I did eventually find it. It was a long way back in the video list and many videos from the one mentioned by a poster about the dog with a note which I had assumed was next to it.

It serves as a useful reminder that analogue still exists and has attractions which may not be on the latest generation's radar

Great video but CNN's website sucks.

Finally found it but had to figure out their website to do it.

Nice piece. Makes me proud to do what I do. Too bad its great content is trivialized by sandwiching it between a half a minute of advertising and "Up Next: Dog left at stranger's house with poignant note".

I'll take anything that reminds people 'hey, you really can use that old camera, and Big Business won't send you to the gulag'.

Wow...great video. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing, great video!

The producer of this needs a K1000 sent to her or him on our behalf for making such a balanced video about our craft! Maybe, I bet the producer already has a ton of film cameras....only a real analog gal/guy would produce something so brilliant...or maybe there is such buzz in NYC? Anyone in ATL (i.e. CNN corp ofc) or anyone in NY know who produced this? Is he/she a Apug'er?

 

[MattKing]

It's also a great subliminal ad for Ilford - which I'm all for! (and for clarity, I doubt Ilford had anything to do with it).

I just wish Kodak would pay some bucks for similar product placement!

Eliot Erwitt, *sigh* my hero!

A very nice video. Hopefully this will help get out the word.

That was really terrific. Thanks for sharing!

Glad to share, although I am sure someone else would have posted it within minutes had I not done so!

I am thrilled that PrintSpace and Hashem (the lab manager there) got a plug in this video. Hashem is perhaps one of the most generous and kindest people you could ever meet. When I first learned how to develop my own B&W and print in a darkroom, it was at PrintSpace. Hashem's help and advice was enormous. It was at a time when I was weighing whether to continue with film or make the total switch over to digital and also about the time I first joined APUG. Armed with Henry Horenstein's book, the hours and days I spent at PrintSpace learning B&W developing and printing changed my life. I hope anyone in NYC who needs a darkroom can visit there and support this great, great place. I don't think there's another place like it in NYC.

Great video, very inspiring! How cool was it to open it with the guy shooting a Mamiya C-330 too?

 

[M.A.Longmore]

Perez won't care.

I've Noticed !

I while back I saw an article about George Eastmans birthday.
I jumped over to the Kodak site expecting to see some sort of
celebration taking place. Nothing ! ... I could barely find information
about Kodak Film, it's a very sad situation.

We Definitely Need To Spread The Word, And Share Our Enthusiasm !

It really is sad how Kodak seems to have no faith in the film business. You would think that with the number of users being relatively stable (rising even, no?) they would be OK with the market, but apparently not.

This was a real pleasure to watch. I especially appreciated how intelligently done it was -- not pandering, not dumbing it down. Sorry to my American friends, but this could only have been done by the European service...the domestic CNN service would have stupid'd it up a lot more. (and probably added a celebrity who pretends to shoot film, or something).

Bit by bit...I would only have taken out the word "yet" - as in, Film Not Dead...PERIOD!

Agree totally. Suspect Atlanta CNN would have focused on aspects of film photography that emphasized its demise or "drawbacks" instead of its strengths and value as a valid media.
