Topic	do you miss when movies were colorful?
Daremo 06/08/24 12:48:46 PM #8:	Zithers posted... there were silent movies shot in color like 30-40 years before anything in the OP had been made Technically true but also... not. Especially not the word, 'shot'. Some films we released in limited colour achieved via various means, almost all of them post-production, often filters for just one or two colours. Some films had hand painted colour applied directly to the cells, but that was a very limited practice, not for wide release. So while Wizard of Oz and Gone With the Wind were not the first colour films, they were the first colour films the majority of people got to see. Edit: Also, yeah that early stuff was super oversaturated. I'd fire a colour key tech that did that today. --- Cynic, n.
