News of Kodak’s intention to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection is somewhat saddening, but not unexpected.

It’s not until times like these when you actually think about how big a part a brand - or institution - has played in your life. Will the next generation ever know the true roots behind the saying “A Kodak moment”? Will that phrase even continue to exist?

It is emotional and powerful… and is the perfect video companion in this context.

ps: This video edit includes some preceding scenes that explains the client’s brief and Don’s “Aha!” moment for the pitch.
