"HOW FILM IS MADE FOR YOUR CAMERA" 1950s EASTMAN KODAK SHORT MOVIE (INCOMPLETE) 94914

[@TozziWelding]

I worked at Eastman Gelatine in Peabody MA, we made the Gelatine for the emulsion. By the time I started working there, it was all made from cow bone, no more pig hides.

[@eddieafterburner]

Where did they get cow parts in Peabody, Mass?!

[@toupac3195]

The chemistry and machinery engineering involved to create a product like this is mind boggling.

[@monsieurgolem3392]

Yes, it is.

[@taymur0804]

OMG thanks for finding the English version, there was another version i used to watch but it was in different language, many thanks for thjs upload.

[@headpox5817]

I wonder how many vegan photographers at the time knew what their film was made from. Thanks PF for another great find.

Periscope keeps dropping bangers on us!

[@Skeletors_Closet]

This is awesome. That building is still there doing the same thing. Really cool. Thank you Destin.

[@MrLoretano77]

And to think all of that happened in my home town of Rochester NY

[@MrDastardly]

A great film. Thankfully, film is gaining popularity. I wish slide film was the same. 😢

[@manhoot]

This film certainly gives the big "picture"

[@snarky_user]

That was dope.

[@jw200]

RIP Kodak

[@alexinnewwest1860]

Kodak still makes film.

[@MrDastardly]

Found the complete film on KZbin. Kodak How Film is made 1958… gets you there. It’s in Dutch with English subtitles.

[@Skeletors_Closet]

Check out the channel Smarter Every Day with Destin. He did a three part video of about an hour each inside talking to the techs and showing the process. It’s really cool. He did it last year or the year before. That building is still there doing the same thing.

In the time, the film base was still celluloid!

[@pacather]

It was all cellulose triacetate by the early 50's. Nitrate base was phased out because of how flammable it was, even in storage.

[@curtislowe4577]

Where's the next part?

[@jkanclark]

I always wonder why these sorts of programs were made. Who was the audience? School-age kids?

[@alitlweird]

How do they make digital film?

[@ZilogBob]

It's made from bits and pieces.

[@Skeletors_Closet]

1’s and 0’s. 😂 And a lot of Cartesian geometry!

[@StonesAndSand]

They use recycled Volkswagen Beetle radiator hoses.

[@monsieurgolem3392]

One wrong move and there goes somebodies wedding day and your getting sued.

[@mariyadas727]

But how did they get to know that this gelatine of animal could be used for film purpose, there must be some sort of thought process that led them to this discovery/invention?

[@shakina8657]

Scientifically there are three ways of capturing a picture, radiative, emissive and transmissive. Radiative is related to light whereas emissive and transmissive are related to temperature. Here in this case, luminescence is the process of radiation that involves photo sensors, that sensor part here is gelatin whereas the photosensitive is the excitation of chemical enzymes inside the gelatin, if that is what the explanation you're looking for if not the comments are coming from bot.

[@Skeletors_Closet]

Yes, chemistry. It all comes down to atoms and molecules. Chemists are a diff breed.

[@Greatdome99]

Endless experiments. Remember it took Thomas Edison over 1000 different filaments before he perfected the light bulb. It took only 40 formulations to perfect WD40, though.

[@enziarro]

Very interesting to contrast this with the Smarter Every Day series on film production at Kodak kzbin.info/www/bejne/foKuqmSBf9WGjMU

[@pbcanal1]

I was wondering if Destin has seen this.
