I enjoyed that, although I wasn’t too sure about him ‘stalking’ the old lady near the start. I have a book by an author called Blaker that shows the best way to use a concealed Rollieflex. You hang it inside a large overcoat, out of sight.

Thanks for the link. It is certainly clear to which age group Ilford is aiming at and quite rightly so for its own future. It probably has to be the teens/early twenties group. The early middle-agers(30-50) are likely to be a lost cause and the "boys of the old brigade" are captive but dying as each year passes.
Yes he did seem more articulate than most you see on YouTube and quietly understated as well. He was easy to listen to. The problem Ilford has and it has alluded to this in the past is that it's a generation of scanners, facebookers and instagramers who may have a limited or even no interest in printing via the analogue way I feel that film, if it lasts, will certainly have a longer life than paper and its associated chemicals and hardware. This I think is more serious for the likes of Ilford than most of those who see a revival in film in the flimsiest of signs perhaps realise Mike Mike |

Mike, perhaps I am by nature an optimist, but I see the lasting allure of film photography as being the domain of those who consider themselves artists, or have a desire to practise a creative craft. That element of creating something in an artistic manner is lost in the digital realm. People like this want to be engaged with their media -- in this case, holding a real roll of film in their hands, loading it into their camera, developing the film, anticipating what the negs will look like, printing in the wet darkroom (or at least scanning and printing), etc.... For that reason I don't see film photography as ever fully disappearing. No art form ever truly dies out, especially not one like this which is still practised by hundreds of thousands (millions?) of people worldwide. There will always be a supply of materials to feed the demand.
As for Ilford and their film series, this version pretty much reinforces all I said about the previous one we discussed here. It's the young who will keep these companies going, and good on Ilford for recognizing that and tapping into their sensibilities. I follow them on Twitter, and they do a great job connecting with their customers -- they are very active on social media, and do some innovative stuff. Contrast that to other firms, and there is a distinct difference. I don't see Kodak having that kind of push with their marketing (if it marketing by Big Yellow exists at all...at least I haven't seen it). In the long run this looks good on Ilford...well done!

I must say I like this video (is it still called that?) much more than the first that we all talked about, and there were even a few good pictures shown as well. I think I might go in search of his Instagram page. Terry S |
