Doesn’t everyone want the effect of the movie theatre in his or her own home? Perfect lighting, sound, picture. Now Kodak has made that very possible. The scientists from Kodak have come together to create Vision2 500T color negative 5218 film, a breakthrough in imaging technology. The major accomplishment of this breakthrough was aimed at new technicalities and an innovative design leading up to produce a new type of paint for the cinematographer’s pallets and an improved place for optical/digital post-production. The light in films is a very important factor that must be as thought out as any other aspect. The Kodak scientists have created tabular grain also known as T-Grain in 1980. This creation is used to gather light more efficiently. The smaller grains compromise the quality. So the benefits of speed are still clear. The grains improve ability to capture scene detail in low-light conditions or increased depth of field. This creates a high-speed color negative camera origination film. Kodak has also achieved longer linear latitude, improved image structure, increased shadow detail and rendered a more natural look to the colors and flesh tones. Using T-Grain to their advantage the Kodak developing team incorporated the technology into all three-color records. This allowed them to achieve the fastest speed yet EI500. The ability of these new T-Grain emulsions is used to capture and process photons more efficiently and allows for more photographic speed with reduced crystal sizes. Just when you think it cant get any better the design team incorporated Kodak’s patented two-electron sensitization technology. This technology doubles the number of electrons and enhances the speed performance of the film and adds to the stabilization of the latent image. Giving better results with more detail in low-light scenes and extended depth of the field. Further down the line advanced development accelerators improved the color dye formation process. This allows the latent image sites on the exposed silver halide crystals to be easier located by the developer. When the latent image is amplified, the oxidized developer reacts with the couplers in the film to create a dye record of the new image. Producing more dye density in each of the developed silver. These technologies optimize the silver and coupler loads in a color record. Scattering is accounted for, and consistent sharpness can be maintained. The combination of all these new technologies results in a high-speed film with a new and improved structure. Viewing the result in a whole new look when watching movies, television programs and commercials.
