Kodak is offering a new package of film and postproduction services
to film school students and faculty in the United States. The KODAK
VISION2 16 mm Film Kit combines motion picture film, processing and
telecine transfer services. It is priced at $1,150 for qualifying students
and faculty.
"We want to make it easier and more affordable for students and
educators to use film," says Colette Scott, worldwide education
segment manager for Kodak's Entertainment Imaging Division. "The
kit also provides step-by-step instructions on how to get the best
results from a lab or post house."
Each KODAK Film Kit includes five 400-foot rolls of KODAK VISION2
Color Negative Films in 16 mm single-perforation format. Students and
educators can chose from any of the six VISION2 stocks offered by Kodak.
The kit also includes a redeemable certificate for processing and one-light
transfers at a participating postproduction house, a KODAK Gray Card
Plus, an aspect ratio target, camera reports, stickers warning against
x-rays, labels for cans of exposed film, and instructional literature
detailing the use of motion picture films, industry practices, and
laboratory communications.
"The next generation of filmmakers is extremely important to
Kodak," says Scott. "We designed the KODAK VISION2 16 mm
Film Kit to assist in providing more students and educators access
to film-based workflows being used by professionals today."
The KODAK VISION2 16 mm Film Kit is now available to high school and
college students and faculty at institutions with educational programs
that teach film and/or video production. Participating laboratories
include LaserPacific, a mainstream postproduction facility in Los Angeles
that is a Kodak subsidiary. Additional U.S. facilities will be added
throughout 2006.
