Yes! The moment we have been waiting for, COLOR FILMS!
Here is how the packaging and photo samples look like!
Sweet! A starter pack!
Looking yummy.
From the side.
Let’s open it! Woohoo!!
Following Sample shots were not taken by me. It’s not very saturated, but there is still a sense of a certain mood to it.
Stay supportive!
Well, at least we have something to shoot with now. I wonder how they should be handled if they are temperature sensitive as well.
I kinda love the style in these dull colors, not trying to promote it or anything, but yeah, I personally like it.
If you want sharp and detail, why not get a normal camera to do it?
That’s all for now, folks!
Check out the http://www.the-impossible-project.com/
for more information and updates!
yeah
Drooling!!!
@Danny Amazing isn’t it
I think my heart just skipped a beat~ haha! kind of reminds me of the fade to black. but this packaging… oooh yeah~~ now we’re talking<3
hmmmm…better not say anything
@eddie, i know its still not perfect, but we can’t blame impossible project, it those MOney sucking people from “Polaroid Corp” who didnt wanna sell the film’s ingredients to impossible, thats why impossible are trying so hard to get it right.
actually they will sell it if impossible pays a nice fee.
…yes but it makes you wonder…is it more expensive to buy the formula from polaroid or start from scratch?
It just seems odd to me to try to reinvent something that has been invented all these years ago and we know works. I wish they could have worked out a deal with the Fuji people (instax is the same concept, just different size http://www.flickr.com/photos/selene-/2633650477/) and just tweaked the chemicals to get new and interesting color film.
@eddie, well, I agree with you, but I really don’t know, because it really depends on the price that Polaroid gave to the impossible.
Fuji won’t sell it to impossible, because they wanna isolate the instant circle. (that’s what i think, not base on any facts”)
its not simple, because there are a lot of other things to it, I looked at the sample on the cheki film you showed me, with that kind of pressure, the chemical could not spread through the entire film, wouldn’t fuji revive all the Polaroid films if they could actually do it? why wouldn’t they?
I’m not a chemist so i don’t know how hard it is to make them. But i’m sure there are a lot of people doing their best in the impossible project company to bring back the film.
Awesome stuff! It reminds me of a really lighter version of TZ-Artistic. Very soft, very relaxing. Definitely going to order a few packs. But then again, these were test shots. Results may vary, right? :3
Yes I guess there is a lot of stupid politics going on behind the scenes that we don’t know about. I think Fuji could easily make sx-70/600 flim, but as many big companies they are slow, old dinosaurs. I don’t think they actually realise how big the Polaroid market is/could be. But I could imagine once TIP has revitalised the market they see the potential and come out with their own version of SX-70/600 film at a slightly lower price.
That’s how today’s markets work, let others do the pioneer work and then follow…sad really. Of course that’s just wild guess not based on fact.
haha me as an end user, i just wish my Polaroid cameras can live on for the next 40 years or so.
like time-zero but less contrast, I like it.
Yay yay yay! Very exciting – I will start saving up now!
Yay! I think the muted colors are really interesting. I can’t wait to see how this film evolves.
Eddie – if it was possible to “buy” Polaroid’s formula, we would have. If it was possible to work with Fuji, we would have. It’s naive to think that we didn’t try those things.
Fuji cannot make film for a Polaroid camera no more than we can make film for a Fuji camera. It has much less to do with patents and politics than the fact that each company has different machinery and available components – machinery that is extremely expensive to build and maintain, and components that are hard to come by in our digital world.
Why do you think we’re called The Impossible Project? It’s not because we have a knack for hyperbole.
Just like jesshibb – we also can’t wait to see what our guys in the Netherlands come up with. So far, in our eyes, they’ve performed miracles…
whoa~ hey dave! nice of you to stop by
it’s always good to hear things like this straight from the horse’s mouth, if you pardon me saying so 
yeah!
whatever it is, I dont really care, as long as I get my sx-70 to run a pack or 2 in a week, i am happy.
Im supporting the Impossible Project all the way, Kill the polaroid company and make Doc Land proud.
Dr. Land must be crying now, look from above at his own company being destroyed by non camera loving people
yeah i just brought 6 packs
wohooo! can’t wait to play with them.
I keep hearing people say how they want the TIP film to be like Polaroid or like Fuji Instax, etc. and I don’t get it. To me it is kind of like trying to find a new girlfriend that was exactly like your ex-girlfriend. I feel it is time to move on and experience something different. If TIP film was exactly like Fuji or Polaroid it would be boring to me since those already exist in the world. I love that TIP is creating something new and unique. It adds more variety and options to what is already out there.
John Matsunaga – I guess what most people are trying to say is, they want a film that works.
This is awesome!
I hope TIP makes a sx70/600 film which i can use just to take classic colored pictures with. These photos are sexy, but i would like a day to day film hehe
I bought mine already. Excited to be among the first people to try this new film. The results look beautifully unconventional.
You asked in your article, “I wonder how they should be handled if they are temperature sensitive as well?”
The answer is yes. TIP has an “all about Color Shade” fact page for the PX70 film that does indeed instruct users to cover the film with your hand, or something else, after it has ejected. http://shop.the-impossible-project.com/allabout/colorshade/
They say the picture quality will continue to improve even days after the shot has developed. Also, while PX70 is more stable than PX100 initially was, they still suggest users cut extra vents in the Color Shade First Flush film & store it with silica gel in a box protected from light.
Honestly, despite the demands the film has on users, I’ve been fascinated by the process of the creation of new film! It’s really cool.
GENE thanks! yeah! hehe i made a video, you are right! right now Im waiting to see if there are any changes in the film after a week, ill make another video
