WoW
Wow, I was really amazed by this historical clip, thanks for realizing the importance of the Eastman collection
Wow, while these women and their memories have long since faded, their beauty has been immortalized by Kodak, so that 90 years later we can gaze upon the past as if it was only moments ago…
I ABSOLUETLY LOVE THE SCORE TO THIS VIDEO!
Is this an original composition from Kodak or is it borrowed???
I would LOVE to know!!!!
The first woman looks normal, the rest..
these ladies are from another time and era,not the women of today that have low morals and show there asses off so much,,todays women would appall these ladies from that time,,,
1.12 would love to have met this woman. Classic beauty!
I can’t helpt it, but those women look way more beautiful than 95% of todays women. No big and unnatural plastic breasts. No botulin toxin lips. No tattoos and piercings and no bitchy behaviours. Just natural and truly feminine. Especially the second one looks beautiful and worth marrying. So sad that those girls are not even old ladies anymore, but they are even dead for some time already including those who shot the film.
I get the impression that we are living in superficial and sad times.
This wasn’t full colour, it was two tone colour, a bit like an old cathode ray tv with one of the three colour guns not firing.
Still impressive though, note the lack of make-up on the model’s faces and the subtle natural lighting, and it really has a ‘live’ feel to it, hard to believe it’s from so long ago.
I’ve loved this video since it was uploaded a year ago.
If you download the video and change the framerate to 16 fps, you’ll see them come to life in natural speed. Mute the audio !
Dear Kodak, could you upload a version in the native speed, which must be 16 fps ? At 18 fps, their eyelids close too rapidly and at 12 fps they’re too slow.
The uploaded video is in 29.97 fps.
Thank You in advance.
Truly mesmerizing! Total wake up call to live in and cherish the now!
This is more moving than most movies i’ve seen in the past year.
They should have played this at the Oscars. Just completely stunning.
1:12 For some reason the woman here looks “modern” to me, like she could have been filmed recently. Odd.
those girls were HOT!
so friggin ahead of time!
@boneyarsebogman I’d love to know! My guess is that the director was giving them outrageous directions and they were confused by them.
What does this say about those times? What does this say about the women of those times? What does this say about these women?
@orangon Putting a logo onto film wasn’t really that much of a challenge even in the 20’s…
Can anyone read lips? I’d be fascinated to know what they are saying, if anything at all. These long dead women, long dead voices, long dead beauty – still alive and clear in living colour.
Thank you for sharing, Kodak.
thank you for sharing this with the world! where would the world be today if it was not for film
Thank you Kodak
Hello out there, I didn’t go through all the threads, but I think that there is historical mistake here. This “Kodachrome” is not the Godosky(?) Bros invention. This is an early two-color motion picture process like two color Techicolor, This is not the film process invented in the 1930’s. “Kodachrome’ is a name Eastman had long before the slide film was introduced. These are still very beautiful, but they are not the modern “Kodachrome” film process, not in 1922.
Check out a full length color movie from 1922. Search “Toll of the Sea (1922)” The real deal, not a fake.
@MissGoldenDreams13 : I guess I have to explain what “fake” means. That’s not really Mae Murray in that film. Just a look-a-like. Her nose is too pointy for Mae Murray. This is just basically an elaborate ad for Kodak. You can’t take everything you are presented with at face value anymore. Sorry to be a party pooper!
This is like 90 something years ago now.
