We here at Honey Cooler Handmade (well, I guess I should say "I", since this is a one-woman show) love all things Deco. This amazing video (stolen from the gorgeous blog Mariaunet) is a film test for Kodachrome, one of the first color motion picture films. While Kodachrome was manufactured from 1935 until 2009, this video is an exceptionally early test, from 1922!
The women in this video are lovely in what is now an unconventional way -- full rosy cheeks, porcelain skin, gently flirtatious, a bit overdramatic -- and I love it.
The video precursor says it best "Some of the earliest color motion pictures you will ever see". Enjoy.
Absolutely delightful film and the music was beautiful do you know the name of the piece? Thanks for sharing.

Isn't the music lovely? It's so haunting and works so well with the images...
ReplyDeleteThe YouTube video upload from KodakTube's channel has the following info about the music:
Music: Killer Tracks CD entitled: KT223 (Inspire). First track used is called "Breath," the second is called "Kindle."
