The Biggest Lie in Hollywood | Technicolor

love the john lennon painting

This video is BS.

misleading title

Don't tell him about primary colors

The past tense of cost is…cost. Great video though.

Saw the thumbnail and figured it'd be about the scene when Dorothy goes through the door to Oz, and how it was filmed in color but everything was painted sepia to match the non-color film before it

the technique is interesting but it's not a lie just a method

Well... i was going to comment on how cool this was. ...Until I read the comments section. So I guess you suck!!! ;) JK I like the vid. Interesting. Good job!!!

Feels like watching a good history tv documentary

came here because of anne of green gables on the thumbnail
(i thought it was her for a sec it's actually that girl from the wizard of oz, pretty close still)

Very cool. Super interesting

You believe what you're shown because you're only shown a little bit, you're fooled by your limited perception. So it's literal movie magic. Neato.

Of course subtractive primary colors are really cyan, magenta and yellow not red blue yellow.

Bettols

He's very young. Noone used to say that each frame was hand painted. I'm 50 and my family was no different from the next when it came to propagating pop culture myths like. Momma cass choked on a chicken bone et cet. But no one used to say this.

I'm 50 years old and noone in my family ever told me that the wizard of Oz was hand painted frame by frame. Who used to say that? 😅

no one talking about the HD quality of a 1930s movie?

Nice painting man!

Then Kodachrome is also a lie as the emulsion layers in Kodachrome are all black and white with the dyes added in the processing of the film.

And, the only 'true' color reversal film would be Ektachrome... which actually pales in comparison to the richness of Kodachrome.

And, digital cameras are also a lie because their sensors are all dedicated to either RG or B as a numerical value. Ie., you end up with a BLACK AND WHITE red, green and blue channel.

And, come to think of it... your eyes are also lying to you because no single cone can see color. Cones themselves are one of three types... RGB. Rods are essentially the density value.

well, that is basically how our eyes work you know
the lie is your title and the trick is to scam 400k + viewers

thumbnail is a gas light

Nuts. The premise "it is not really there" is senseless double talk. The narrator fails to fully explain what he means by this expression, and as we all know, and can easily see, there IS color on the film and it imparts color to our eyes. There really IS color on the screen. They way it is generated does not make it "unreal" or "not really there." Silly premise, there is no lie. Interesting phrase with no impact or explanation that mars and invalidates the entire video. The narrator could also skip all the wild exaggerations he makes, and takes back a moment later ... oh .. maybe not. I won't watch more of his work, even though I sorta enjoyed the movie clips in it. Just my take - your mileage may differ. JRT

Cool video! Now I know why old movies would put in gigantic letters "Filmed in Technicolor". It was like the IMAX of their days.

Almost 8000 dislikes now lmao

It’s true, 2 mins search and found technicolour website

The Wizard of Oz made utilising Technicolor's 3-strip color process.
The 3-strip color process wasn’t a type of color film; instead, it was a process in which a specially modified motion picture camera recorded the same scene through colored filters on three different strips of film

So many people in the comments stating that, for paint, the primary colors are Red, Blue, and Yellow. This is actually incorrect, though it is still being taught as fact.
A Primary color is defined as one that can be used to create any other color through mixing. Given this criteria, Red and Blue are actually secondary colors. The true primary colors are Yellow, Magenta, and Cyan.
Proof: You can mix Yellow and Magenta to create Red, and you can mix Cyan and Magenta to create Blue, but it is impossible to mix Red, Yellow, and Blue to create either True Magenta or Cyan.
Way past time to cease pushing this archaic, and inaccurate color theory.

Shout out EASTMAN kodak company out of ROCHESTER NY <3

If I met Elvis in person, I'd guard my BurgerWorld bag with both hands.

Only got through 10 seconds of the guy's voice. Then went straight to the comments.

Nice work, I never heard anything about WOZ being hand painting, quite tyhe oppostie, I heard it was the first mass use of color and only heard that hundreds of times, so maybe that's an assumption? Anyhow - good work.

clickbait title

Thanks for the dumbest and most ignorant video I've seen in a very long time.

Did you take a second and search "Eastmancolor"? It's Kodak. Eastmancolor was the process, not the company. The breakthrough was combining the three separate strips into one, using layers of emulsion instead, each layer sensitive to one primary color. The process also gave us Kodachrome, the finest chemical image-producing system ever. The loss of Kodachrome as a medium for pictures is catastrophic.

Costed?

Too slow and long.

he sounds soooooo ... non straight

Life sucks, always has, always will…

Technicolor is no more a lie than the LEDs and LCDs we're watching this video on.

So much dis-information and speculation. Sorry, this should have been done better.

Video made for human eyes must look very awkward to creatures that see more or less color than we do.

Clickbait title and totally inaccurate. Poor quality dubbed narration too. Must try harder, 1 star.

Dumb video.

lol... Amusingly, Clerks was the first movie to jump to my mind when thinking of the "last" black and white film.

Sucked before the first ad.

I hate this sort of misleading schlock. No, with technicolor you aren't fooling the audience into seeing color where there is none, you're capturing the color information indirectly and using it to rebuild the full color image, the same way all modern pixel displays work. Mid-wits like to hone in on this distinction all the time like its some sort of optical illusion or grand trick, that instead of your eyes being exposed to a single wavelength of color reflecting off of an object, they're being treated to a composite of thee separate channels of Red, Green, and Blue. What they neglect to bring to the forefront are the two facts that make all of this irrelevant:
1. Even when we're looking at an object in person, what we're seeing is already a composite of those frequencies as modified by physical properties of the object, the character of the supporting light source, local reflections and subsurface scattering.
2. Our eyes derive their color vision by modulating those three signals in the exact same way, through exciting our S, M and L type cone structures. Our brain does the exact same compositing as technicolor does. It doesn't matter if we're seeing a full spectrum of frequencies that sum to one color or that single frequency of light.
And so the only area you could ever make this distinction in, is in one of pedantry.

can you try and make a video on google?
