I never had much respect for Kodak, especially when I lived in their company town of Rochester, NY (in fact, I used to say that the reason they located there was simply the fact that the city is so dark that it’s the one place in the US where you can develop film outdoors).
However, I have to admit, this video done for employees absolutely blew me away:
Turn the Schmaltz up to 11! Genius!
Bet that got the corporate masses jumping in their places, eh?
Pretty good . … How’d you find it?
I’m hoping they do a sequel…
Hi Bob -
I found it on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com). I must confess that I still love to scour the net for stories about more new toys.
Turns out the Wall Street Journal discovered this one quite a while back, and when they also lauded it, the actor who played the Spokesman guy chimed in that he was glad they liked it:

If you want to take your inspiration to the next level, Kodak has offices in Burnaby. I think they do some software in connection with high-end color printing equipment. I know somebody who works there (a software guy), and I can ask for more information if you’d like.
Nice clip. Very American, though. 🙂
That’s the original Creo, right Jan? It might be worth talking to them; one never knows. Thanks.
Yeah, I know, Johan. Very American indeed. At least it laughs at itself for being that way (I think…)
