Before they figured out how to shoot film in color, filmmakers were painting their footage, frame-by-frame. Fast forward a century and the HDR technology available to colorists means we are to see more detail than ever on our screens. From technicolor to color grading, color in the movies has had a fascinating 116 year history.

2:00 So people should know that despite the fact it looks like the movie goes from sepia to color, they actually shot the whole shot in color. They painted the interior of the house and use a double for Dorothy with a sepia colored costume. You can actually see the trick: Dorothy's double, after opening the door, gets out of the frame for letting Judy Garland's Dorothy getting into it.

@alexandrecotetessier9959 7 лет назад

All the scenes from the beginning were shot in white and black and colored in sepia. But to make the transition, it was impossible to have the shot going from sepia to color on film. So they used that trick, and yet people are still being duped to this day!

@Patrix8558 7 лет назад

thank you. I was wondering how they shot that. If they painted the shot or something.

@TheStockwell 6 лет назад

Worth mentioning: the earliest surviving color footage - which begins this film - was never seen until recently. The inventor shot it with a camera which placed a different colored filter in front of every third frame. He managed to get images on film, but never came up with a way to project the film with three different filters on the projector. A few years ago, his film was scanned and digitally "projected" following his instructions. It worked - but it took a over a century to get it to.

@TheMovieMyLife 7 лет назад

So much in this video that I didn't fully know about before. This video also makes me wonder about how long the list of jobs for any given movie must be. Crazy long is my thought. I'm certainly happy to live during this time in the evolution of film; not that I'd have known too much about what I was missing had I been born much earlier in the 20th century, of course. :-)

@jackdumanat49 7 лет назад

Yeah colour is pretty interesting and complex especially if you want it to be colour perfect. If you noticed at 3:50 he has 2 screens, a monitor and a cinema projector. the reason why he has 2 screens is that the colours he gets in the monitor screen is noticeably different to the project. It's the same with graphic design and printing. for ordinary printers and monitor screens they all have varying colour ranges and output different colours. Hence why sometimes pictures may look better on certain screens then on other or in print.

I know this has nothing to do with the content of the video, but I cringe every time I hear someone say "Super Mario Bros" instead of "Super Mario Brothers." It's written "Bros." as an abbreviation for "Brothers." It's not like they're some frat bros or something.

hey wired I'm a bit disappointed in you guys, it makes me think how much of your other stuff you might have made up or not properly researched. now the first roll of footage was made in Australia at the Melbourne cup, the first color movie was actually "Ned Kelly" about a group of Australian gangsters. I'm am proud to be Australian and I think you should give credit were it is due if you would like to contest me or think that I'm wrong please address my complaint
