Kodak has released
the KODAK Film Calculator and Glossary application, the first
of several Kodak Cinema Tools to be released, as a free download
from the iTunes App Store. The tool determines the running
time for any length of film in any format, or how much film
is needed for a specific duration, making complex mathematical
calculations quickly and conveniently.
"This is the first Kodak Cinema Tool to be made available
as an application for mobile device users," says Nicole
Phillips, Kodak's director of web marketing for the Entertainment
Imaging Division. "We plan to release additional applications
in the near future, with the goal of helping filmmakers bring
their visions to the screen. This Film Calculator app provides
quick, on-the-spot answers to questions wherever and whenever
they arise. As we begin our foray into mobile tools, we look
forward to offering new ways to connect our customers to information
they need, effortlessly."
When using the KODAK Film Calculator app, information can
be entered into fields where data is known: format, length,
run time and frame rate. The app then calculates and supplies
the other variables.
Film length can be measured in feet or meters for all formats,
including Super 8, 16 mm, 35 mm, three-perf 35 mm, and 65
mm film. The intuitive user interface includes a "reset"
button that makes recalculating data easy, and the "film
format" drop down menu allows switching and comparing
formats at the touch of a finger.
The application also includes KODAK's Glossary, which provides
instant definitions for hundreds of filmmaking terms. The
glossary is designed to help filmmakers and their collaborators
communicate clearly and accurately.
"Our customers are accessing information online and through
social media networks, and we plan to continue to focus our
efforts in these areas, supporting their needs and making
information even more readily accessible at the touch of a
button," adds Phillips.
