[@bigdogpeck1874]

Wow this is absolutely amazing congratulations and thanks for sharing

[@refard5]

old polaroid: we're going to do things that people think impossible and make it happen! New polaroid: we can't fit 10 pictures in a cartridge and we're not doing anything about it.

[@minerforjob32]

*proceeds to discontinue spectra film instead of making a new camera

[@tresto9514]

Also, why is no one talking about the Polaroid Go only having 8 shots a cartridge as well? They had a chance to make it 10, but when I asked Polaroid about it, they still gave me the classic "the new film is thicker... bla bla bla" excuse, which I really don't think is valid for this entirely new format.

[@refard5]

@@tresto9514 I thought about that the other day there's no excuse.

[@Vashu-san]

Oh the pain of being a long time Polaroid fan... :-‘( What happened Impossible?

[@Vashu-san]

@@tresto9514 it’s just an excuse to make more money per pack. You know what else no one mentions? The fact that their film chemistry STILL fails to reliably spread cleanly over all of the frame, even in the new cameras... Unless they’re pre-dirtying their Polaroid I-Type camera rollers, I want an answer.

[@InAnInstant]

Bro that lamp assault was so unbelievably funny. You killed it on this video. Would die to film a 2 minute horror short on this film, completely wild to see it come alive!

[@AnalogResurgence]

Man it was like nothing else when that light came on and actually showed something! That old-school Polaroid innovation

[@aliceksipes6015]

I just found a pack of this film in my grandmother's temperature controlled storage unit today. Would be happy to give it to you. I bet you have a better chance of getting it to work then I do.

[@ar5846]

Can you imagine that this specific film was destined to be in your hands almost 40 years after the production…

[@nahirbernal9097]

Holy cow, I can't believe it was back in December when I talked to Thomas about his successful use of Polavision. Am glad he sent you a working cartridge and that his stuff was shared with the world, it was very cool to watch.

[@bryandawkins]

it is nice that you got to re enact a day in the 1980's

[@dangoldbach6570]

He even has the Ghostbusters shirt!

[@haydenforsyth5009]

I just want to say that your dad wearing your shirt is the cutest thing in the world. Genuinely Heartwarming.

[@MisterGraa]

5:06 I am surprised how good the footage looks.

[@milandoersam]

My mind is absolutly blown. Thank you for sharing this with the world.

[@PinebrookPictures]

I love that you used it while hanging out with your family. Something about using it the way it was more than likely meant to be used just made it more special.

[@graydivision]

Awesome, I couldn't wait till the end. So cool that you included your family in this moment. In all likelihood, this is indeed the last working complete Polavision demonstration. Thanks for posting this, it made my day.

[@Purp1eP3nguinZ]

This video made me realize that polavision is basically motion picture autochrome, which is pretty awesome.

[@djbantern3806]

That is the most impressive Polaroid technology I know of congratulations 👏

[@ntsecrets]

I worked at Polaroid in the late 90s-2000s and one older guy I worked with was given a task in the mid to late 80s: smash all the unsold polavision cameras kept in shipping containers at the Needham MA warehouse.

[@richardbrown1189]

A great piece of history. Imagine knowing that you have appeared in the last ever example of a film format ever recorded. I doubt if anyone else has ever done that! Thanks a million for sharing the experience.

[@computationalerror69]

historic moment i think it was the last usable pack

[@cesaribarra4228]

Today I visited a garage sale in Colorado and found a Polavision Case with instant replay control and a seal polavision photo tape cassette,the lady told me it has been storage since she buy it , I just started to investigate about this camera and your video has help me understand how everything work, thank you for this awesome video

[@keymbord]

this is absolutely incredible. it must be great to know that you most likely shot the last working cartrage and it must be cool for you family to know they're the last people to be recorded on the format.

[@iliketowatch.]

Great video! I bought one of these system back in the late 70s. I'm sure it was on some kind of close-out deal. It was about $150 or so which was a lot of money to a young teenager back then, but I couldn't believe that the capability to shoot film and watch it 10 minutes later even existed. This was a miraculous promise in the pre-video camera era so I scraped my pennies together. I shot about 10 cartriges. I don't remember how much the cartriges were back then, but I'm sure they couldn't have been cheap. We made a movie called "Mr. Clumsy" about an awkward guy who tripped and fell over the cliffs near the Golden Gate Bridge. We dressed a dummy up and threw him off. You have to remember there was absolutely no editing capabilities available in this system so you could distinctly see two people throwing Mr. Clumsy over the edge. My favorite memory of the system that was shown in your video was that movie light! It was SO bright and it got SO hot that I was worried I'd burn someone with it. Now there is hardly anyone on the face of the earth who doesn't have far superior video creating equipment right in his or her pocket. Even though this is true today, I'll never forget how much fun we had with my Poloroid movie system.

[@kellyoconnor2867]

As a kid I found a box of old cameras and a boxy-screen type thing. I had no idea at the time, and ended up keeping the video camera element of this set-up! I just recently sold it with a lot of other old cameras, BUT I just came across a pile of family videos in these old 608 Polavision cartridges!

[@xpez9694]

Congratulations for getting to do this. That's a real honor. Love this "humans seeing fire for the first time " moment! LOL @ 05:00 thats the magic of film...no one does that for video.

[@Larru_Photo]

My salute to the unsung hero that kept 2 cartridges frozen for 40 years

[@donaldlampert331]

Well, that was a kind of milestone….. and literally a “one in a lifetime” experience! 😃💥👌👍

[@jamesdavis5096]

This is amazing. This has now become a very historic film. And the volunteer subjects are going to become famous now.

[@sheelios]

so happy it worked!! i remember your other video from last year testing them out. so cool

[@jeremyholden72]

This is amazing and I am grateful that you shared the results!

[@miscx7355]

Awesome video amazing seeing this in working order!

[@Exxcalibur186]

Well done! Very cool to see this in action.

[@Stryper101]

I love this video! I could just feel your excitment being able to record on that old format. Hundreds of years from now I bet this video will be greatly appreciated by future generations. Way to go. I liken you to be an arecheologist just as much as you are an expert of film.

[@mracdcjailbreak]

Wholesome episode, great stuff!

[@super8blog71]

Love this. Thanks for sharing. And your dad is flogging your merch hah!

[@maxdoes_]

This is literally unbelievable. I can't believe this worked back then, and it's insane that this pack survived almost 40 years.

[@stapledtogether]

Yesss this is so sick! Not gonna lie the last video where you got zero results was a bummer so I’m stoked to see you get some results on this new tape!

[@mattpyfe]

Awesome! Just started into film photography and Polaroids(I have 4!). Subscribed!

[@namenotimportant8408]

It's incredible that Polaroid didn't only make like the regular Polaroid films, but also 35mm instant film and Super 8. It's super interesting, that those things didn't take of as the regular Polaroids did

[@jhonwask]

Nice video. Interesting format, which I had never heard of even being the techno goon of the 70's, 80's and 90's.

[@dudeson53]

Wow this looks amazing!🤩

[@thissidetowardscreen4553]

Awesome video! Amazing history! Great choice to shoot family members....make it just all the more valuable!

[@mistermars1479]

Congrats! That's some awesome stuff to do :)

[@nowayjose6283]

Can we all just overflow polaroid with emails about potentially bringing this format back? I have one of these polaroid land cameras and it just sits on my shelf. I'd love to put it to use some day 😩

[@danielsosa5510]

Love it!! ❤

[@lofianddiy]

Great vid!

[@werdlederdle]

Dude. That’s amazing.

[@sjhart14]

It was incredibly generous for a viewer to share such a rare film cartridge so we can all experience it.

[@elvisfan961]

Simply incredible man. What an accomplishment. Super jealous!!!

[@werdlederdle]

It’s complete magic. I’m so glad that it got sent to you!

[@databits]

Enjoyed the video! My new player, camera and likely useless film are on the way via eBay! So excited!

[@sullytx8120]

So badass 😁 I was crossing my fingers the whole time!

[@germansaez]

This is so cool!. I was able to buy a cartridge just for collecting purposes but I know it won’t work. Happy to see you succeed.

[@LyndonSoulGroove]

Well done for your patience Its so good to salute a product that could have been better, but was overtaken by fuzzy VHS

[@tylerhuttosmith]

Man that child on the advertisement or brochure thing was terrifying

[@n_v9386]

Your old mans right - great ad for the shirts since I had no idea you had them haha.

[@the_lomographer4047]

Great vid. So fun. You could try 665 from ‘87.

[@colinmcgreal5976]

Arguably the most wholesome video ever made

[@Vashu-san]

Amazing!! I’d love to have a go of their instant 35mm film but it’s kinda hard to find online nowadays. Wish they’d bring it back.

[@michael_177]

What... how did you? ... For real? This is legit exp '80s Polavision film? This video is honestly incredible. And wow look at that footage, who would've thought that'd be possible after so many years. The film is so incredible, looks like you're back in time

[@docDeutschmann]

That was awesome. And yes - it does look quite a bit different from Super8, and please don't break it open as long as the projector still works... Thanks for sharing - it was exciting, and I enjoyed watching.

[@utterlee]

This is so cool. It basically uses the early Autochrome system to create the colour. Amazing you got one working!

[@DaleFrewaldt]

Polavision 10 years earlier might've slowed the home video birth by another decade. At the very least, this kind of shoot & develop film tech would've likely lasted late into the 80's and potentially into the early 90's.

[@brineb58]

How fabulous!!! I worked in the photo department of a chain store in the late 70s, I played with it as a demo thing ... so cool you actually got results!!! BTW in the 70s when I was in charge of filming Super 8 movies of family events, I always made people wave!!!

[@maf421]

Crazy. I remember seeing one of these a K-mart when I was a kid. It was fascinating how it could possibly work. Hey I have a Kodak instant film cartridge that's been frozen since their patent debacle. Want it?

[@MrJoeybabe25]

And now we can take movies with our phone that have quality easily very acceptable for anyone. In fact, my friend who is a videographer says he himself cannot tell the difference between footage from a phone and that of a several thousand dollar digital camera. He also says they can shoot professionally on digital well enough to almost entirely mimic the look and feel of film (if they want to). Looking back at what we wouldn't put up with in 1979 shows us that the marketplace, given its head, can bring us greater and greater things.

[@Francois_L_7933]

You're really lucky to have been able to put your hands on one of those that actually worked!

[@rpeters330]

This is remarkable, so cool

[@hectorflores1531]

bro i was smiling when the cartrigde works, thats polaroid !!!

[@headwerkn]

Shooting an actual functioning cartridge of Polavision - Amazing! Getting yourself family to wear your merch - Priceless! ;-)

[@eriksnel6461]

Yeah this is so cool! I to have a complete polavision set but the player has a gear that has split in two. I also have developed cartridges but never played them. I mainly have them because eumig has produced these sets for polaroid so it fits in my collection

[@thomasdegenfelder4903]

This is Thomas again, the pre-owner of Noah's cartridge. I asked the guy, who bought these cassettes 40 years ago and kept them in the freezer, to write down some words. Have fun:

[@ilmago5291]

Wow works!😍

[@simons_pics]

Very impressive !

[@carltanner9065]

What this world needs is a film buff that's also a multibillionaire. Someone who's willing and able to sink a lot of money into a project like One Instant and even up for reinventing the wheel, if need be.

[@SO_DIGITAL]

3:25 1983: Optometrists report a sudden upsurge in "arc-eyes" among children around Christmas.

[@christopherthorkon3997]

This is like totally amazing. I mean -- you are most like the last person in the entire world to use this format. Historic!

[@AmauryJacquot]

brilliant !

[@arricammarques1955]

Somewhere in NYC Patti Smith is crying!

[@picsntech]

Dufaycolour was made in cine and slide formats in the late 1940s/1950s. The base film was Ilford FP3? and the additive layer was in stripes. Of course the same process was used for Autochrome around 1900. The Dufaycolour movies could be projected on normal projectors so maybe Polaroid could have produced a projectable film?

[@carslayer]

Fantastic work. Now that you've done type 40 roll film and Polavision, your final boss will be shooting Kodak Instant film!

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

Awesome! Back To The Past!!!

[@williamevans9426]

I think the exposed film is quite temperature sensitive so, if you do indeed intend to keep your forty-year old 'Phototape', I'd seal it in a bag and keep it cold. I tried reviewing a few of my films several years after normal room-temperature storage and none was playable - a broad stripe of discoloration had replaced the centre of every film. 'Best of luck from the UK.

[@aliceksipes6015]

Today we were cleaning out our grandmother's storage. And I found one pack of polavision film unopened. The storage was temperature controlled. I wonder if the film has a chance of working. Unfortunately the camera that was next to it was completely destroyed.

[@ilmago5291]

First time that i see polavision twilight in action fantastic 😍

[@jordenconrad8827]

I had no clue this was a thing. Very interesting!

[@tomjanowski8584]

Interesting that you had success with Polavision in July and I had success for the first time with Polachrome instant slide film. I'm so impressed with the results I got. The technology is amazing. I was a student when it was first introduced and remember thinking I could not afford the processor but it was something I always wanted to try. It was worth the wait. Despite bad timing and low sales, the innovation is still what Land was all about and he was totally successful. Sadly Land-style innovation is currently totally absent in the current Polaroid company. When I use their current 600 instant film, I often feel like I'm buying defective product. I hope quality improves and I hope innovation becomes important again.

[@EsamKabliPhotography]

wow, i have the same sit of camera and viewing screen with some types that i think some of them was devolved, i remember watching some videos on that screen in early 80s, i will try to see if i can make it work.

[@slightlynuts]

This is likely the only one of these films with footage of modern beach furniture or a flat panel computer monitor.

[@AeromaticXD]

Fantastic

[@visalvorak4662]

This is the first KZbin video I have seen with no dislikes

[@JamieMPhoto]

Refrigerators for the win, again!

[@minerforjob32]

History in the making

[@poniatowski3547]

Thats way cool

[@rfrover]

I burned the finish off of my grandmother’s side table with a super 8 movie light in the 1970s. I don’t think she ever forgave me.

[@Ragnar8504]

Old movie lights were insane (this Polaroid one was nothing out of the ordinary, Super 8 film was no faster than Polavision). Mine is a 1000 W halogen, absolutely blinding! Not sure what this one is, probably less than 1000 W.

[@wattehel]

When shooting off a screen make sure you turn off the auto focus on the camera and focus manually.

[@guenin]

Holy crap!

[@Brendan9674]

Any chance you’ll do a video on cleaning old film? Motion and still? ,

[@ThePolaroid669]

wow, that house could do with a tidy up

[@SinaFarhat]

Cool! :)

[@SnowmansApartment]

oh man.. someone in my area sold a polavision camera with the monitor for 45€ or so.. i with i had had the money to buy it at that time =/ it‘s such a cool looking thing..

[@freemasonry666]

Wow this polavision continues

[@milandoersam]

I wish they would still make this.
