  1. Omari….if you see this, I am your auntie. If you want to know about your family in TX @gmail.com

  2. @TheZedcast: I couldn’t agree with you more! Years ago, I asked my sister if I could store my boxes of pictures in her basement? I had to fly to HK that week and there was a Monsoon headed to the Philippines then. They had to fly ALL the planes to HK to protect them! So, it was a case of fly now or later AFTER the Monsoon! So, I decided to fly out before the Typhoon hit & when I came back, I learned that her basement was flooded! I lost ALL my family, wedding and (my 3 daughters’) Baby pictures!

  3. Very Good Commercial!

    Do you know if there’s any way to obtain a better quality copy of this spot and also, could you tell us a little bit about the musical score – who composed it & its title? I think it’s one of the finest pieces of advertising I’ve ever seen.

  6. I can just agree. It touched me very deeply, one of the best commercials ever.

  7. Time to stop crying try Naughty women mworld5.info

  8. Keep THIS, Protect THIS, and Share THIS VIDEO!

  9. touched my heart! a very beautiful commercial! :)

  10. “Keep me, protect me, share me…and I will live forever!”

  11. This piece reminds us all that even the most seemingly mundane image of daily life becomes a historical document 20 or 50 or 100 years later. I belong to a Historical Photograph Society and this is exactly what we try to help and encourage people to do with their photograph collections: “Keep them, Protect them, Share them…So they will live forever.”
    Otherwise, a basement flood, an attic fire, or a spring cleaning can wipe out the entire photographic history of a family, a town or a generation

  12. Never before this has a commercial moved me to tears. This commercial has reminded me that as a photographer I am contributing so much more than pictures to this world. As is any person who ever had the joy of holding a camera, even if it was just on their phone. Memories. Stories. A moment in time. For others to see long into the future. This is the most outstanding commercial I have EVER watched. And I will remember it… for a good long time. If not forever.

  13. This ad got me!!!! totally!

  14. The kodak guy is losing his mind in his museum of wonders.

  15. Just a fabulous commercial. Well done, emotional & incredibly effective.

  16. what is this music in the commercial

  17. anyone know what the picture at 5:53 is, I think I saw it before

  18. This is stupid. Idiots taking advantage of pictures and WHY IS THIS AD SO FRIGGIN LONG?!

  19. When you want to watch a commercial again on youtube, you know they did a very good job making it, like the P&G Mom commercial from the 2010 winter olympics.

    I liked the mix of pro photos and amateur ones.
    I also enjoyed the Howard Bingham spot, and the kid say, “it’s just okay.” Typical of a kid!

  20. muy bonito comercial!!

  21. I was looking to find a video of how to repair the paint job of 1920 kodak camera and i came across this video that was really nice.

  22. i was looking for kodak totorals on size and thout id look at this

    its acualy really good, shame i didnt see it

  23. I still remember when this commercial was on TV… I was like, eleven. It completely summarizes exactly why I adore photography SO much. This one touches my heart, mann. (:

  24. always makes me smile

  25. The title for this commercial is incorrect. The correct title is “GALLERY”, I work for the production company who made this commercial. The director is Joe Pytka.

  26. Amen, I am breaking out my old Signet 35

  27. who is that

  28. Yep. Nothing screams progressive live a gray haired man screaming about how cool things are gonna be soon.

  29. I think they’re coming back. Do I think they’ll make their way back to the top of the business? No idea. What I do know is they got a new CEO, and the guy has created massive change in the company.

    The same R&D finesse that created the old products *might* be able to do similar things to digital, and eventually lead to that reason to switch from cannon to kodak.

  30. I met the guy who wrote this, hilarious.

  31. Great clip…I work at Kodak,and saw this video at a presentation in Kodak’s Theater on the Ridge, in Rochester back in 06′.

  32. C’mon people. Sure it’s a cute video…but lets leave it at that. What hype. Do you really think they are coming back? Everything that actor talked about is already being done… this generation has absolutely no connection to the brand. Sure I used an instamatic, but why would I trade my Canon in for a Kodak? Exactly. Zero reason. But god did I love D76, Tmax, and Kodachrome, at their peak kodak really made quality products. The tonal range of Tri-x was just luscious! Good luck to ‘em…

  33. I saw this a association meeting. It was shown for entertainment purposes but also as morale builder. Everyone loved it.

  34. HATERS BEGONE LOVE BIG YELLOW FATHER!

  35. But we all know that an ad or other corporate info gets FAR more attention/appeal in the “Web 2.0″ world when the majority of people are led to believe that they’ve “discovered” something that wasn’t originally intended to be circulated. But even if that was Kodak’s (transparent) attempt, the piece is stil an absolute gem!

  36. Very interesting. I did a Google search and saw it on dozens of people’s blogs. And of course, now I’m thinking that Kodak planned it to be released as an “oh, we just made this for internal purposes only, we didn’t really intend it to be released it to the public” and then let people think that it was somehow “leaked” out by mistake.

  37. It was an internal video made my Kodak, no spoof. It was used at a conference I believe. My father, who works at Kodak sent it to me. After watching it, I had to post it.

  38. LMAO… this is one funny video! And it’s the best argument I’ve ever heard for getting a digital camera. It’s too bad it’s only a spoof! Or is it…? Hey, if Kodak wasn’t such a stodgy corporate dinosaur, and they were actually willing to laugh at themselves, at put things in perspective, they could probably sell a few million cameras with this ad alone!!

  39. Did he say “booya”? Yes, that certainly is contemporary.
