This was INCREDIBLE to see! It's taken a couple of years to get this video out.  Thank you so much for your patience!  

Any suggestions on what this year's sticker team should be?

Based on content so far, I'd say something film related :)

Randy Coffee

I normally connect with the material. But this is one that I really didn’t. That’s ok. I get the engineering marvel that it is. It takes a lot to make film. However, there was a lot of time that this series seemed to drag on that could have been produced more concisely. While there were some operators who were into what Destin was doing, clearly some either didn’t know what to say, or were just over it. Don’t get me wrong, still good content, but was not my top series. Still hoping that one day Destin does a deep dive into F1 cars.

Steve Jones

I love these behind the scenes videos. It's so awesome seeing jobs like this that have not been exported overseas and makes me proud to see this still being made by a great US company. Thanks for making these.

Erlend Barkbu

This is the content I’m looking for. Thanks Destin, and Kodak.

Gryyphyn Crosthwait

Woohoo! #4 in the series! As a photographer who recently got back into film, and as a general nerd, I'm super grateful to have this series. If only I could have gone with you! Did you get anything for 120? I'd love to see that process since it's so different and I shoot 120 as well.

@ClydeFrog

Sticker idea: film strip with logo in some way...

dwarfnose

thank you, it was great. I was just a little bit confused, for what reasons they had films on it at light-sensitive steps, while you were filming in the light. And that they use so much light in the canning process, which seems to be real products. (for sticker: Coast guard boat/plane or something on a film strip)

Mike Swanson

So good. Thank you for everything you do, Destin!

Valerie Steinhaus

LOVED this series! Thanks for making this and sharing with us ❤️

Mr. Hunter Jones

Wow Destin! Thank you for making the Kodak series. I am amazed, not only by your enthusiasm, but by the access you had at Kodak. The people there were great. I love manufacturing and how the problems are solved to improve the process and build a culture of success. Well done!!

Jesse Loewen

You have to watch the series like you watch Primer. You just keep sticking with it and by the end everything makes sense.

Mark Lam

Destin - I've been loving this series and am currently watching this latest installment. But I'm wondering if there can be just ONE more part... I've always wondered how movie film is processed, manipulated, color corrected, etc. For instance, when you watch a movie's "deleted scenes" a lot of time they're black and white, have tons of dirt or other defects, the colors are different, etc. Now I know part of that is that the scene was cut and never finished but why do only B&W pieces remain? Does the raw film have to be heavily manipulated to end up being what we see on screen? I know this can all be software corrected on digital films, but I'm thinking back to like the original Star Wars films (what I grew up on) from the 70s/80s - how did that work? How did they take the output from Kodak and end up when what we saw in the theaters? Keep up the great work!!

Itamar Hassan

Love your content! but this series hit the bullseye, as a photographer for many years in and outside the army shooting digital and mainly Film it was highly enjoyable to see every step and to hear the detailed explanations from you and from the experts at kodak! dont know if you already looked in to it but the story of the polaroid film and the company itself is wonderful and the tech is amazing! I would love to see a bunch of videos on the company and on the amazing secrets and tech that takes to make a polaroid film. please pm your address and i would love to send you a polaroid camera to start your new (expensive) journey!

32 years as a Kodak chemist. I retired way back in ’02. Well done Destin. A very educational and enjoyable series. You barely scratched the surface of what goes on at Kodak. One thing you didn’t mention is that every machine and process in the videos was invented and built in-house by Kodak folks. The machines might look like Rube Goldberg devices but they and the people that run them make the finest film in the world.

Dylan S

You should ask if anyone has ever pulled a film roll right off the line and immediately take a photo like you did, might be a record. As for the sticker, the step to add the light sensitive coating was very colorful and beautiful (laminar flow bonus). It also pairs nicely with last year's JWST, another image capturing technology.

Danny Wellman

This was great! I love the teamwork from everyone to make that product. So amazing to see it from start to finish! Thanks!

Andrew Ferguson

Genuine question (because I'm curious): Why did it take so long to put it out? (Other projects? Waiting for something? Didn't have time?) I'd love to learn more about *how* you do what *you* do too!

Michael Hahn

Destin, just a kid in a candy store needing to touch everything and point out how everything works 💪! The sign of an engineer for sure! Kudos for the series.

Mike & Kate Miller

Sticker idea: Digital camera on a tripod looking down on a film canister with a quizzical look.

Andy D

Loved this episode and this series. I also really enjoyed your invitation to reflect on how watching this made me feel. I think that's an important part of this whole "life" thing, whether we're on the "job" side in making things/services or we're on the "consumer" side in buying/using them. Thank you, Destin! <3

Euan Thomson

Sticker idea: not film related but snatch blocks, or possibly something services related (navy or coast guard etc.)

Nick Polanosky

I just wanted to pop my head in and mention just how much I appreciate what you do and how you do it. Thank you for the tours, the science, and the fun <3

Don Challenger

you should interview the maintenance mechanics. Get their perpective.

Steven Schmidt

@Destin, I have a fun idea! In response to Veritasium's recent video about QR codes, it would be fun for you to do a video about putting QR codes on film or microfiche, and see how much data they could hold that way!

Gryyphyn Crosthwait

Kodak stopped production for the month of November to 'modernize' their ops. I would love to see a revisit!
