  • The Essential Reference Guide for Filmmakers
    THE ESSENTIAL REFERENCE GUIDE FOR FILMMAKERS IDEAS AND TECHNOLOGY IDEAS AND TECHNOLOGY AN INTRODUCTION TO THE ESSENTIAL REFERENCE GUIDE FOR FILMMAKERS Good films—those that e1ectively communicate the desired message—are the result of an almost magical blend of ideas and technological ingredients. And with an understanding of the tools and techniques available to the filmmaker, you can truly realize your vision. The “idea” ingredient is well documented, for beginner and professional alike. Books covering virtually all aspects of the aesthetics and mechanics of filmmaking abound—how to choose an appropriate film style, the importance of sound, how to write an e1ective film script, the basic elements of visual continuity, etc. Although equally important, becoming fluent with the technological aspects of filmmaking can be intimidating. With that in mind, we have produced this book, The Essential Reference Guide for Filmmakers. In it you will find technical information—about light meters, cameras, light, film selection, postproduction, and workflows—in an easy-to-read- and-apply format. Ours is a business that’s more than 100 years old, and from the beginning, Kodak has recognized that cinema is a form of artistic expression. Today’s cinematographers have at their disposal a variety of tools to assist them in manipulating and fine-tuning their images. And with all the changes taking place in film, digital, and hybrid technologies, you are involved with the entertainment industry at one of its most dynamic times. As you enter the exciting world of cinematography, remember that Kodak is an absolute treasure trove of information, and we are here to assist you in your journey.

  • Contribution of the European Kodak Research Laboratories to Innovation Strategy at Eastman Kodak
    Contribution of the European Kodak Research Laboratories to Innovation Strategy at Eastman Kodak Nicolas Le Guern Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Photographic History Research Centre Faculty of Art, Design and Humanities De Montfort University Leicester, UK January 2017 1 In memory of Professors Bernard Leblanc and Jacques Desautels 2 Abstract This study provides a new understanding of the nature of Eastman Kodak Research. The thesis considers the European context between 1891 and 1912, before the creation of the first Kodak Research Laboratory in 1912 at Rochester, New York, and between 1928 and 1950 with the opening of two additional Research Laboratories in the United Kingdom and in France. It sheds light on the technological and organisational relationship between the main Kodak Research Laboratory in Rochester and the later, related, Kodak Research Laboratories in Europe. Analysis of publications from numerous independent photochemists demonstrates that industrial secrecy during the interwar years limited the sharing of scientific knowledge and delayed developments in photographic science. The first Kodak Research Laboratory was created in Rochester in 1912 to address this issue internally. Its first director, Kenneth Mees, developed an innovative organisational model which combined fundamental and applied research in order to protect scientific facts about the photographic process that were discovered in-house and to create the appropriate preconditions for the development of new and marketable products. Qualitative analysis of unpublished research reports stresses the multi-faceted nature of the photographic research undertaken at the Harrow Research Laboratory from 1929 onwards. It shows that the British Laboratory was open to external sources of scientific knowledge and innovative technologies.

  • The China Girl on the Margins of Film
    Kodachrome test strips. C. 1935. Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/OCTO_a_00228 by guest on 25 September 2021 The China Girl on the Margins of Film GENEvIEvE YUE In 2005, at the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University, Julie Buck and Karin Segal exhibited Girls on Film , a series of seventy photographs blown up from “China Girl” frames the two artists and archivists had collected while working at the Harvard Film Archive. The show gave visibility to an unusual type of technical image used in film laboratories: typically an image of a woman positioned next to color swatches and patches of white, gray, and black. The China Girl, sometimes called the China Doll, China Lady, girl head, or any number of lab-specific nick - names like Ullie, Marcie, Shirley, and Lilly, was used from the late 1920s until the early ’90s, and continues in limited use today. It appears in every country with a major film industry, including the United States, France, Germany, Italy, China, Korea, Japan, and India. In Western nations, the China Girl is almost always female, young, conventionally attractive, and, despite the racial connotations of the name, white. In film laboratories, it is an essential part of quality-control processes, used to calibrate the desired exposure and color balance of film reels as well as the functionality of developing and printing machines. It has analogues in still photography and computer technologies as well. 1 Buck and Segal hoped that former China Girl models might come forward and identify themselves, as China Girls were never credited for their roles.
