Posted in The Gear Shed on April 13, 2011Two of the top names in the outdoors discuss the benefits of owning a KODAK PULSE Digital Frame while having a bit of fun.
MONTGOMERY, Ala., April 4, 2011 – Kodak Outdoors continues to reach out to avid anglers and hunters as proven by the recent release of a commercial which features reigning Bassmaster Classic Champion Kevin VanDam and Michael Waddell who is one of hunting’s most well-known personalities and host of “Bone Collector.” VanDam and Waddell are part of the Kodak Outdoors Pro Team for 2011.
The commercial, which can be viewed at Youtube.com , KodakOutdoors.com and at more than 50 Bass Pro Shops throughout the country, opens with VanDam loading his boat after a day of fishing the Bassmaster Elite Series Sunshine Showdown held Mar. 10-13, 2011, on the Harris Chain in Tavares, Fla.
VanDam explains that the KODAK PULSE Digital Frame is the perfect piece of equipment for anglers and hunters to share their outdoor photos with family and friends. As a result, he sends a photo of a huge Florida bass caught at the tournament to a frame set up in Waddell’s editing suite.
Not to be outdone by VanDam’s opening salvo, Waddell returns the favor by sending an image to VanDam’s digital frame of a monster buck. Waddell and his prized deer will be waiting on VanDam when he returns from his tournament in sunny Florida.
While the playful nature of the commercial is meant to demonstrate the bragging most anglers and hunters like to do with their prized catches and harvests, the commercial is intended to convey just how easy it is to set up the frame, which comes in 7- and 10-inch models, and to share photos through a variety of points such as Facebook, cell phone, digital cameras with sharing capabilities, Kodak Photo Gallery and more.
“It has been a pleasure working with Kevin and Michael on this commercial,” said Terry Clas, National Account Manager, New Business Development, United States and Canada, Kodak. “Their fun-loving personalities made for an entertaining and educational commercial. We know that avid hunting and angling enthusiasts enjoy sharing photos from the field and the water, and this commercial speaks directly to those consumers.”
The KODAK PULSE Digital Frame can be purchased at KodakOutdoors.com and Bass Pro Shops.
