iodyne is a proud sponsor of Team 2 Films' new documentary, an exclusive tour of the KODAK factory.
Shot in partnership with Eastman Kodak, the film is a love letter to the physical medium — the chemistry, the craft, and the quiet mechanical poetry of a factory still built for tolerances measured in microns. It’s a rare look inside a process most filmmakers only encounter as a finished roll, and a genuinely moving conversation about where film goes from here.
Special thanks to Natalie and Leon of Team 2 Films for inviting us to be a part of such a cornerstone piece.
Watch it as a chaser to your favorite major motion picture shot on film, or whatever’s next in your own queue. And be sure to enjoy it with YouTube’s player set to 8K!
From lab to color, the importance of data storage
Post production setup with two MacBook Pros and a Mac Studio connected to one Pro Data unit.
The future of filmmaking runs straight through data workflows. Whether the source is an emulsion or a sensor, the storage layer underneath it can’t be an afterthought. Data storage is what carries a production’s most valuable asset safely from set to post.
iodyne Pro Data is built for the whole chain. From director to editor. From lab to color.
- Pro Data scales from 12TB to 192TB in a portable form factor. So it can grow with a production instead of running out of room mid-shoot.
- Multipathing Thunderbolt keeps it fast in real-world conditions, not just on a spec sheet.
- Every drive is AES-256-XTS encrypted — because dailies, scans, and masters are irreplaceable IP, and protecting them isn’t optional.
- Pro Data is hardware RAID-6 protected, providing triple redundancy for data integrity.
- It’s a workhorse by design: reuse on multiple projects with confidence, with built-in SSD health checks and the right to repair.
On set, Pro Data eliminates the waiting time that surrounds ingest, dailies, and near-set editing and color review processes. The read speed makes it a natural fit for transcoding camera RAW down to editorial-friendly formats on the fly, and it’s fast enough to support on-set assemble edits alongside the film process itself, carrying scans from the lab straight into digital dailies.
In post, the same drive removes rendering as a bottleneck. EXR plays back in real time, colorists can grade directly from RAW without a proxy step in the way, and VFX teams get instant playback and review — all running on the same sustained performance, while fully encrypted and RAID-protected.
We are your data partners
Data storage is important. But let’s admit, it’s not the most fun part of the job. We’re humans; we like this work, and we’d rather talk it through than watch you fight it alone.
