 I heard that they still in mainland China shoot films in three color
Technicolor which went out in the 40's everywhere else. I just saw a
thing on cable TV about it and their head makeup guy said he did a film
test with all the womens lipsticks on his arm and they all came out
brown on the new non Technicolor stuff. No reds. All the actresses and
actors were ready to revolt. I'm sure people like Martin Scorcase would
love to get his hands on that technology. Make those Louisville slugger
scenes jump to life! As well as those rolling green pastures like in
Robin Hood.
Three individual strips of black and white film individually filtered
and combined. Is that like Kodachrome? I wonder if Kodachrome is at all
like Technicolor?
