Got a wild hair one day last week and had a BLAST making this little video about the new Polaroid Z340 — a blend of old analog and new digital technologies. Hope you dig it enough to have a laugh, watch it again, and forward to your friends.
Polaroid has never been about specs or crazy high end performance, they’re about fun, instant prints, and kitsch. The Z340 delivers on that – perfect for the holidays and party time.
If you must know…
-14 Megapixels
-640×480 video
-2.5 inch LCD display
-SD card slot
-Zink zero ink prints in under 60-seconds (30 seconds faster than the old analog style…)
Available at here from B&H. Extra Zink paper can be found here. Happy holidays!
[Oh ya, that tune you hear in the background? That freshness is The Blakes. Check them here on iTunes. Aside: Remember I pimp Polaroid on the regular...AND...seriously... Don’t try this blending thing at home. I am a certified stunt man, and this can’t be good for your blender, your cameras, or your safety. Also: stay tuned for the outtakes... ]
haha clever and well done. I like the simplicity. Reminds me of when I was a kid and used to watch movies where they’d destroy a perfectly good motorcycle. Always me cringe at first.
OMG it’s super duper fun :_)
Good one bud, bit wasteful though..
Haha I loved the idea
Absolutely brilliant, great idea!
damn. I need that blender.
Bravo! Well done! Not what I was expecting!
Now THAT was a fun day at the office….. Holiday Cheer!
Heyy, you’re the KennaK from creativeLIVE right?
thanks kenna – was a blast
Now…if they’d only make a way to print to this and the GL10 printer directly from the iphone. Very disappointed this hasn’t been worked out yet.
Hope you didn’t breathe any of that dust, by the way…yikes…no telling what was in there. Lead, fiberglass, etc.
I was totally surprised! I want to check the camera out now. Nice work.
Very cool, but that poor 600!! Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha very nice!
But…at the end…the camera can’t have taken that picture!
Awesome!
NOOOOOO! Poor 600. Please tell me you at least wasted a non-functioning camera. Finding old Polaroids is getting tough enough for those of us who prefer the real deal.
Hi Hunter – don’t you worry. The cameras destroyed were inop, non-functional “stunt” cameras purchased at salvation army
Would never let a good 600 go to the sword! – chase
Cool .. haha..
Nooo… I feel somewhat sold out by this Chase. I don’t expect any camera to survive a blender but it’s obvious money has changed hands for this video. I mean I love the idea of a polariod (though I’ve never owned one) but this is obvious selling out!
Paddy – I’ve had a very public relationship with polaroid for a long time – they even support my #cjLIVE show! I think they’re dope and I hope you do too.
Besides isn’t that what we all hope to do someday – to sell out. Don’t we all want to make money by doing what we love?
I like it, it does he job, i want one! Happy holidays!
my main question here is…was that a blendtec blender? And that answers the question of “will it blend?”
I love how the “does it blend?” becomes the future product introduction.
+1 Want!
Hahaha, definitely a good laugh and fun to watch. I’m sure it was a blast doing this!
Woah coincidence, i was trying to repair my grandfather’s old polaroid 250 land camera yesterday! totally dig this, chase! great music too!
thanks! Music is “Magic” by The Blakes. Avail on iTunes. check it…
Wonderful, entertaining ad for a camera. Not completely clear if you wrote and directed this ad.
yep!
Very clever…
“Sell out” ??
Jesus, that’s what we’re all trying to do! *slaps forehead*
Great video, Chase!
Are you seeking proper repair solutions to your old laptop? And do you want to speed up your old laptop which runs like a snail instantly? If so, I may help you here.
Haha dude that looks so awesome! Your always having fun which is what I love about you guys…
you realize that destroying an old Polaroid is pure sacrilege right?
Armon – the camera that went in the blender was a broken, inoperable thrift store purchase. Hope that makes you feel better
stay tuned for the behind the scenes vid…
Really smart! I’m so glad I found your stuff on the internets. It’s been a real inspiration. (BTW: As a music junkie myself, I always appreciate the great tunes that accompany your vids.)
What a great idea for a video. Plus I love those will it blend videos from Blendtec. Yours just has a little surprise at the end. Nice work!
Instant share! Great idea!
HAHHAHAHAHAAHAAHHH!!!!!
Awesome vid Chase!
This this Polaroid have a hotshoe or a PC sync port or somesuch in order to slave up with flashes? I’m thinking as a photo booth application here. Thanks in advance!
