Hello to all,

I intended to post this here in this section, but I logged-in the Non-WWI Aviation and posted it there by a blunder, but nevertheless here it is, in its intended destination.

I wish this man's technique of filming would have been prevalent by the time of the Great War. I know this color footage predates the Great War, but thought it may be of some interest.

Hello by the way.

It's a form of digital colourisation.
It can be applied on any kind of black and white film.
I doesn't actually, reveal any colours...nice but not so impressive.

Hi elephant,

The original film had separate images for the red, green and blue values of each frame. The digital processing used, was simply combining the red, green and blue images for each frame. This is not some arbitrary colorization. The colors may not be perfect, but they should be a reasonable approximation.

Absolutely, this film was original shown with its own special projector, with the same color lenses (blue, green and red) and in the same sequence, that the black and white film was exposed through. This allowed the viewers to see full-color moving images in 1901.

A similar method was employed by Sergel Mikhailovish Prokudin-Gorskii to photograph Imperial Russia from 1909-1912 and again in 1915.

There's a short film of Prokudin-Gorsky's 1905-1916 photos on youtube worth a watch :

Hello Rod_Filan,

Thanks for sharing the short film!

I have always found Prokudin-Gorsky's photos so fascinating and valuable. For there ability to take a World that we have only seen through black and white and know through artifacts, locations, descriptions and stories, and then, take and transform it into a world of full color that’s puts an ability to relate and a Life and Humanity to that period, that is very hard to find.
