a lot of people like to voice their own thoughts about why polaroid discontinued spectra and some people definitely say that it was the film's thickness or that they were just too lazy or they decided that they wanted to retool the machine so that they could instead pursue things like the polaroid go film which is the smaller stuff they make now some of that definitely might be true and i'm sure it was a bunch of things that ultimately led to them deciding not to produce it anymore so on october NUMBER_TOKENrd of NUMBER_TOKEN polaroid announced that they were discontinuing spectra altogether the audacity and on mean girls day of all days as well it's october NUMBER_TOKENrd on the on the NUMBER_TOKENth anniversary of the oj trial verdict well it is finally official murder is legal in the state of california i've still got a couple packs of black and white specter film in the fridge and if you hunt around there are still color packs out there that people are selling for increasingly higher prices but that are to be fair only a couple years out of dates so you can still likely get good results if you luck into buying some color spectra stuff now of course there are people who work to you know use these cameras and load up instax into them or find little diy methods of still putting them to use but for me sometimes i like to kind of just retire the camera after the film that it was made for is no longer around i missed spectra and it did always seem like a little bit of an oddball to me being somebody who was born way after all this stuff was introduced initially and yes when i retire i did used to dream about moving into the giant polaroid camera display that they put up in new york city in the NUMBER_TOKENs to promote this camera's launch but i guess maybe now that's never going to happen and as much as spectre was maybe the oddball younger brother of polaroid at the time it was more successful than the baby brothers that polaroid put out right near the very end yo polaroid asked me send that these supermodels to demonstrate the sleek stylish captiva camera ready big thank you to skillshare for sponsoring this video today skillshare is a massive online learning community that offers courses covering an absolutely insane variety of topics in order for you to learn explore and dive deeper into your own creativity whenever i'm working with film scans here on the channel of super NUMBER_TOKEN and NUMBER_TOKEN i use davinci resolve for my own color grading a program that is incredible but complex through courses on skillshare like adam shraby's color grading crash course in davinci resolve these skills and programs become so much more accessible for you to use yourself skillshare has no ads and is always dropping hot hot hot new courses for you to check out so honestly instead of wasting your time in film school like i did check out skillshare the first NUMBER_TOKEN people to use the link in the description of this video will get a one month free trial of skillshare premium thank you so much for watching and there is still good spectre film out there if you can find it it never got rebranded from polaroid originals to just polaroid it unfortunately was killed off right before that rebranding so if you can find any of the polaroid original stuff from the last
