A Rochester-based company known primarily for their cameras and the development of formats such as 35mm film, the Eastman Kodak Company
was established in 1889 by George Eastman.note For most of the twentieth century, Kodak was the dominant name in consumer photography — to the extent that the phrase "kodak moment" entered the public lexicon to describe moments that deserve to be photographed for posterity. Besides doing for amateur photography what Henry Ford did for the automobile, and coming out with the first successful color film (the legendary Kodachrome), the company also provided film for hundreds of projects worldwide, including Lake Placid, True Blood, CSI, The A-Team and AVP: Alien vs. Predator, until their bankruptcy in 2012 at the hands of digital photography and its use in smartphones.
In 1994, the company established Cinesite, a European (and for over a decade, American) visual effects firm best known for films such as GoldenEye, Space Jam, the Harry Potter series and John Carter. Kodak's bankruptcy caused it to be sold to investors in 2012.
