In general it is said that "Wizard of Oz" was the first color film - this interesting video tells the somewhat different true story of how color came into the cinema. Thus, Technicolor was not the first color film technology and Wizard of Oz was not the first Technicolor film.
Also illuminating is the description of the influence that Technicolor had on our perception of colours and the classic film look, trained on many Hollywood films, with its rather complicated procedure (RGB according to CMY) and various technical implementations. This aesthetic influence (with its own theory of the meaning of colours, which influenced film colours and set design in films) is symbolized in the person of Natalie Kalmus, who is relatively unknown today. With 382 nominations in film credits as Technioclor consultant from 1934 to 1950, she decisively determined the colour look of many film classics such as  "Wizard of Oz" (1939), "Robin Hood" (1938), "Gone with the Wind","The Thief of Baghdad" and "The Three Musketeers" (1948). ;) The Technicolor colors of "The Three Musketeers" PS: Really detailed information about the history of color film can be found at here.  more infos at bei www.vox.comdeutsche Version dieser Seite: Wie Technicolor die Farbe in den Film brachte |
