    I’m a commercial producer and I have to say that is the best TVC I have ever seen. I’m almost excited.

    when did a roll of film become an incentive to buy a camera.

        there is a market, but it isnt huge, or you wouldn’t need to go to a specialist shop to get film developed and to buy film…

        and pro photographers (who get paid to take photos) don’t use film any more, they need the photos back instantly, and use digital.

    OH WOW, that is epic. Poor g’pa and g’ma. You do not need a computer with a digital camera, amazingly, you can take it along to a store, and follow the instructions on those touch-screen consoles they have, in order to print all your glorious photos of your grandkids.
    shit.

    “Remember when you just went to the shop to have your photos printed?”

    Yes, I remember my parents doing that, and I can’t believe they did.

    In fact it was more like “Remember when you would take a picture and had to wait a week to see if it was any good?”

    lol, at first I thought they had come up with a nice new “photo developer” service, that just takes your memory card, and develops it just like they did with film…

    and also, maybe offer a tutor service…

    but hey, just goes to show, why bother putting any effort into the product when you can just put it all into marketing…
