Technicolor: How the first color animation movies were filmed between 1933-1970 

Facinating! *Such* a cool technique.

I explained the process for ANIMATION, recorded on one B&W film and 3 frames for each picture, using filters. I was aware of the subtractive collors, but this was too complicated to explain for the viewers of this short item within the total documentary. Phocas Kroon

I appreciate the clear animation you've used to show the process but it's wrong, CORRECT EXPLANATION BELOW Filming a blue object on a white background through a blue filter would give a completely BLANK frame, This frame would be reverse printed for yellow. In other words, NO YELLOW. Filming the same blue object through the RED filter would give a BLACK object on a CLEAR background. Reverse, this would then print as CYAN, with no ink on the background. Finally, filming through a GREEN filter would make the object BLACK against a CLEAR background. Reverse and print the MAGENTA. The magenta and cyan inks combine to make the BLUE of the original object! I have a new tutorial on my channel that explains very clearly how additive and subtractive colours work.

The first color movies didn't start in 1933, color/colorized movies actually started in the 1900's when movies were produced in a colored print, KinemaColor, Brewster Colour, Etc, Etc, and Technicolor didn't start in 1932, it actually started in 1915-1916 when a man invented Technicolor.

How complicated. Never would have thought that’s how they did it. It is surprising that colour technology ever took off due to amount of time to produce the film and export. Interesting I saw on a yt video that the first section of wizard of oz was filmed in colour not sepia. The set was coloured sepia so that Dorothy could walk out into a colour world.

Why did you miss 1932 cartoon? First 3 strip Technicolor carton of Disney?

Arnold Liebovit explains how he studied the early Puppetoons of fantasy filmmaker George Pal.

What is this video at the beginning?

But i still don't understand how the positions of each color are stored on the b&w tape.

And it was HERBERT Kalmus, not "Hubert"!

WRONG! You have confused Gasparcolor (one B&W negative using sequential colour filters) with post-1932 Technicolor (three colour-sensitised negatives via prism & no filters). You have also mixed up the additive primaries (red blue green) with the subtractive ones (cyan magenta yellow). Both Gasparcolor and Technicolor were subtractive - much better for transmitted light through film, as all three primaries = black. Please get your facts right; waht you have presented is pure misinformation.
