Kodachrome Test Footage
The people over at Kodak just digitized and uploaded some of the original Kodachrome test footage. Shot in 1922 they are some of the earliest color footage available. There is something about color film that transforms an image from the imaginary to the realistic. Black and white film and photography always seems whimsical and somewhat magical. Its interesting to think that if color film was developed from the start of film capture if black and white would have the same affect on people. Just think of Ansel Adams his work work would hardly have the same affect if they were all color. It's interesting that the lack of technology is what created and advanced a certain genera.
Here is the video.
Unfortunatly Kodachrome was discontinued by Kodak just last year. Sorry Paul Simon.
