Made by Eastman Kodak, this short educational film explains how film is manufactured. (Unfortunately our print is incomplete.) The film begins with animation of a roll of 127 film with the familiar yellow Kodak protective coating. Animation shows the layers of the film including the gelatine overcoating, silver emulsion, base and backing. At 2:01, cotton fiber is processed to form the cellulose ester base. At 2:18 a dope, or liquid film base, moves through a series of mixers. Finally it moves through a series of rollers and ends up on a roll (3:00). At 3:06 a large roller wheel is shown. At 3:22 a massive coating machine is shown in a clean room, where the film base is dried. At 4:00 a footage counter indicates when it is time to start a new roll. At 4:15 samples are cut for testing in the lab. At 5:30 the thickness of the film base is tested. At 5:41 gelatine is shown, collected from animal hides. At 6:14 chemists compound materials for the emulsion.

This film is part of the Periscope Film LLC archive, one of the largest historic military, transportation, and aviation stock footage collections in the USA. Entirely film backed, this material is available for licensing in 24p HD, 2k and 4k. For more information visit www.PeriscopeFilm.com
I worked at Eastman Gelatine in Peabody MA, we made the Gelatine for the emulsion. By the time I started working there, it was all made from cow bone, no more pig hides.
Where did they get cow parts in Peabody, Mass?!
I wonder how many vegan photographers at the time knew what their film was made from.
Thanks PF for another great find.
A great film. Thankfully, film is gaining popularity. I wish slide film was the same. 😢
The chemistry and machinery engineering involved to create a product like this is mind boggling.
Periscope keeps dropping bangers on us!
This film certainly gives the big "picture"
And to think all of that happened in my home town of Rochester NY
This is awesome. That building is still there doing the same thing. Really cool. Thank you Destin.
That was dope.
RIP Kodak
Kodak still makes film.
Found the complete film on CZcams. Kodak How Film is made 1958… gets you there.
It’s in Dutch with English subtitles.
Check out the channel Smarter Every Day with Destin. He did a three part video of about an hour each inside talking to the techs and showing the process. It’s really cool. He did it last year or the year before. That building is still there doing the same thing.
In the time, the film base was still celluloid!
It was all cellulose triacetate by the early 50's. Nitrate base was phased out because of how flammable it was, even in storage.
I always wonder why these sorts of programs were made. Who was the audience? School-age kids?
Where's the next part?
How do they make digital film?
It's made from bits and pieces.
1’s and 0’s. 😂
And a lot of Cartesian geometry!
They use recycled Volkswagen Beetle radiator hoses.
But how did they get to know that this gelatine of animal could be used for film purpose, there must be some sort of thought process that led them to this discovery/invention?
Scientifically there are three ways of capturing a picture, radiative, emissive and transmissive. Radiative is related to light whereas emissive and transmissive are related to temperature. Here in this case, luminescence is the process of radiation that involves photo sensors, that sensor part here is gelatin whereas the photosensitive is the excitation of chemical enzymes inside the gelatin, if that is what the explanation you're looking for if not the comments are coming from bot.
Yes, chemistry. It all comes down to atoms and molecules. Chemists are a diff breed.
Endless experiments. Remember it took Thomas Edison over 1000 different filaments before he perfected the light bulb. It took only 40 formulations to perfect WD40, though.
Very interesting to contrast this with the Smarter Every Day series on film production at Kodak czcams.com/video/HQKy1KJpSVc/video.html
I was wondering if Destin has seen this.
