Don't Sell Your Film Cameras Yet.

I just saw the incredible New Kodak Vision 3 stock, Demo'ed on a 30' screen.
WOW! Finer grain, at least 3 stops more latitude!
500 speed. Pushed one stop (1000 ISO) was barely noticable.
Bravo Kodak! S16 now looks like 35.!

Hi,

Do you know if by any chance this is related to the 'Kodak Ambush test'

Well, Kodak has had to do something. I read in The Hollywood Reporter about how they're sticking to their guns on film instead of coming up with some sort of digital cinema solution. If this new stock can do better than the last, more power to them. However, whether the industry responds to their new stock when everyone is falling in love with digital workflows has yet to be determined. Heck, Randy Roberts, the supervising producer for Law & Order:SVU was speaking in my class yesterday about how he saw a demo of the RED and believes that everyone will want to transfer over within the next couple of years. He said he was sure Law & Order:SVU would most likely switch over once more RED cameras are out.

I know a dp who worked for Kodak... I asked him once and he said yes they've made their own digital cinema camera... just not going to release it... in other words they're keeping up... just not selling them....

Kodak is already in the digital camera business, just not for movies. Remember this is the company that invented the Bayer filter being used in cameras like the RED ONE. Why go from being the Number One player in film technology to Number Five or Six in digital camera technology? They'll switchover when no one is buying film anymore, but until then, there's no reason, not when they sell four-times the amount of movie film compared to their nearest competitor (Fuji.) Kodak is never going to be a big digital camera-making company for movies. There are already too many players in that field already.
