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.

Because a great deal of them use the same basic game engine presets out of the box. But make a game slightly colorful like Diablo 3 and suddenly everyone makes such a huge fuss that, well... in that case Blizzard was still cool back then so they responded by adding a secret rainbow pony level that took the colors to 11 to make a point. --- I am the Hunter of Topics.
