- Film historians in Bradford have found what they believe to be the first colour film ever made. The reel of film was discovered in the archives of the National Media Museum, and dates back 110 years. Until now it's been widely believed that colour cinematography was invented in 1908, but experts say this news re-writes the history of early film making. Nicola Rees reports for BBC Yorkshire.

It's such a shame he never got to see it in full color.
he no doubt took single frames and overlayed them with filters so he could see it worked, but not being able to make it move must of been hell.
Well he saw it LIVE so that's something. The lesson here is Pioneering always have worth
Still better quality than those “ufo sighting” videos, smh

You do have to focus the lense.
This is remastered
Actually the quality of fottage was pretty good in the old times (the movie quality was much worse). And yes this is 1902 so it's nearly 1800's
Yes
Wild, he invented something that no one saw for over 100 years. He couldn't imagine the technology that allowed his invention to work.
Seeing a film this old in color makes me want to tear up because it just feels more real, the fact that these were real people that went through life without even knowing a film of them would resurface 110 years later. This is probably one the closest things we’ll ever get to see how people lived their lives back then without the limitation of a black and white screen, it’s chilling to think about.
I wonder how people would react to this in 1902.
They would've lost their absolute shit over this.
ikr lol
***** I was born in the mid 1950s and I'm still amazed at a lot of things that are possible today. I was amazed in 1977 the first time somebody showed me a VCR. I remember saying "Wow. You mean you can actually record the picture right off the TV and watch it whenever you want? That's so cool!" The thought of being able to watch any movie you wanted in your living room when you wanted to watch it was like a dream.
***** I think photography itself was one of the greatest inventions of all time. It's as close as we'll ever get to going back in time. Color photography is also amazing, although I don't think it was commonly used until the mid 60s. The color snapshots in our family album don't start until 1966. We have a lot of those 40s and 50s black and white shots with the curly edges.

That’s insane, from 1902. And it’s still intact too! I’m really shocked it’s survived over 110 years of nitrate degradation.
Have you seen them restore old film
This is just stunning, honestly (:
@The American holy shit this is getting deep.
Are u still alive?
People would've fallen out their seats to see something like this back then!
Most people probably hadn’t ever seen a video back then, as it very new technology.
Amazing! Hope someday Turner's descendants can see this. And it's wonderful that Edward decided to film his children for the first "color" film ever made. Also, about the children, they were Alfred Raymond, Agnes Mae, and Wilfred Sydney. Appearing in that order on the film. Agnes died in 1920, but Wilfred and Alfred surprisingly lived into their 90's. Wonderful.
It seems to me that what they consider "oldest colour film" in this piece is the earliest natural 3-color process: the oldest process to use the 3 color separations needed for full color images. In this case shot on one strip of film using a rotating filter, which means that the separate color images are shot in sequence, not simultaneously as with Technicolor of the early 30s. Thus, fast moving subjects show distinct color fringing also seen in the 2-color process Kinemacolour (especially when superimposed onto a single frame as done digitally here). I believe I read in the London Science Museum monogram that Kinemacolour also had filter issues on their projectors that made them have to resort to the red-green filters only - several years after this film was recorded.
Thank you so much Sir for your valuable information.
Sequential color was used on early Apollo TV cameras.
How nostalgic
Shame he never saw it in his life :(
I guess there's 13 people who don't think that this amazing film has enough special effects to keep their attention span going for merely 20 seconds.
nnn
now 15
Goons watch Ytube in colour is the hypnosis.
now 19
It isn't amazing. You slept through the part where they'd explained his not making it work.
It's so sad think those happy children in the movie lost their father at such an early age.
RIP those kids... can't believe they became older then us and died :(
wonderfullife how is that hard to believe? we're all gonna die one way or another one day..
hey you never know, one of them may still be alive

Problem is, that mobile Internet was really slow in 1902.
@Girl On A Quest A armored vehicle? A M35 Helmet? Well try stopping a 120mm APFSDS
@@buddyclem7328 I don't think the internet existed until the 1940s. Even then, it was only used in the military.
Come on people, that is pretty amazing...
I think this is actually the first attempt at an additive colour process using panchromatic film&a filter wheel. A precursor of KinemaColour. Fascinating viewing.
The parrot may be the only creature still alive now. They do live to be over 110 years old.
That sucks, he made the first color film then died a year later and his family got left behind
This is literally beautiful to watch
this made me very emotional
Even artificial color on film was revolutionary for its time. This is beautiful work.
just imagine inventing a process you know will work and became the basis of modern colour images, yet you could not make a means of displaying it before you died.
What a serious frustration but hats off to those that looked after this film for all these years.
Imagine how crazy it'd be if that baby was still alive. If she was 2 she'd be 121 years old, which is just a year below the longest life ever lived 122.
That baby isn't still alive. No one has lived to 120 in this millennium.

Leeds: oldest film in 1888

Leeds: Damn you Bradford. Well still number one.
aahhh, that's what Turner was missing...
a computer
After seeing Historic Photos and Movies in Back and White , it gives History Life the way people saw with their own eyes , in Color ! WOW !
Truly fantastic. I had no idea anybody did anything in color this long ago. It would never have been played other than the computer being invented. Obviously the kids are born in the 1800s. The mother probably in the 1870s. So cool to look back in time like this
There were literally dozens of different early "color processes" being developed in those days, all by different people at the same time during the same era.
Some were dual-tone (2-strip) green and red, cyan and orange, magenta and yellow, or any other variation you can imagine. Some were 3-strip (a la Technicolor's red, blue, green). Some were developed in sepia tones, then "re-bathed" in tinted dyes later on. Some were filmed with a "tinted" filter on the camera lens, and then re-exposed with another different "tinted" filter to achieve a colored effect.
Anyway, my point in saying this is that the title "oldest color film" has to have a specific criteria attached to it. Is this 1902 "oldest color film" the oldest color film that used a one-step color emulsion? (In other words, are all the colors contained within a single piece of film, and then developed as one single film strip?) I think that is the point in question.
am74343 As far as I remember from the other source, the method used in this film was interesting - first frame was tinted red, the second one - green, the third one - blue, the 4th - again red and so on. And as the projector displays it at a 12 or 14 fps speed, they kind of blend together i n human eye, but sometimes you can see "the stray colour" - especially at the parrot part.. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
Muza Vario All colour film systems up to 1935 used additive techniques to capture various colours . Kodachrome was the first chromegenic Colour film. AgfaColor was close behind and GasparColor was developed by the mid 1930s. Tecnicolor used 4 consecutive processes before system 4 in 1932. This used a beam splitter filters and a bipack to produce 3 b&w records of each primary colour. This was then used to produce printing matrixices to print on a receiver film. The film print was a subtractive colour print that was literally printed; similar to a magazine print. No colour chromegenic film was used to do this.

Amazing!
(It was also fun to see Basil Fawlty at the museum!)
I simply love your accent. Splendid narrative
Move to the UK then.
Yes sir.
Calm down mister!
Computah
That looks amazing.I'm hoping that someone can have it digitally restored and remastered :)
If there is anyone alive today who knew those people in this video, it would be nice to see them interviewed. I'd imagine the people in the film told a lot of people about the historic film.
How I wish this could be true!
My Great Grandmother died in 1981. She was fairly old (to me) at 78. She was not yet born when this footage was made. Amazing.
Ma grand-mère, née en 1898, décédée en 1979, avait 4 ans en 1902, son futur époux, déjà 12 ans... J'ai des photos de ma grand-mère vers 1902-1903 (en noir et blanc, dans des pauses très figées) mais voir ces enfants bouger, sourire, quelle différence !
What film format is this? It looks like 35mm, but the sprocket holes are different...
it is probably 35mm. The Lumiere Bros. also had round sprocket holes in their films.
The presenter says, 'but he had a problem: his projector didn't work' -- I guess that's intended to mean that his design was unsuccessful, but it could just as well mean his projector was broken. Come on, writer.
I'm sure what he meant was that he couldn't figure out how to project it so that all three images were aligned.
thanks for sharing YorksBestBits
Oh !!!! What a beautiful video.
How beautiful is this! It's kind of bitter-sweet.
2:09 does someone know how to get that video effect or how its called?
Simply wonderful!!
This is really cool! I can tell his system was flawed however, the colour binding on moving objects especially.
Maybe the system was flawed because it was 1902, genius.
I so hope you digitize as much of this as you can.
there was a color photo in 1861, but I guess we're talking about film here lol
I can’t believe there is footage so old, that I was born 100+ years after this masterpiece of beauty. I hope we see some more like this but it’s highly unlikely. Still I’m ok with this tiny film. Cute children, sunflowers and a parrot.
Sad to learn that he died only a year after he filmed his kids in color
Oh myyy! Amazing! Looks like it was shot this way
Wow. Amazing. I love this story so much.
Does anyone know what the movie with the red and green people is? Thank you
1:32 VERY INTERESTING!!
Fascinating!
He was so close to having movies shown in full color. 3 projectors maybe?
It’s weird how I think the old days were literally black and white just because of the pictures 😂
Absolutely. One thing that surprised me on seeing recently-discovered* colour film from the 30's and 40's was that the children had nice bright colourful clothes. I had alwqays thought of the clothes as being drab and grey up until them.
*recently discovered back in the 1990's when I saw them.
I wonder if any of his descendants are still alive and aware of his contributions.
Let's hope so
David Cleveland, the expert in historical film equipment, was Prof, on "Vision On"! The "It's Prof" segments were surreal little silent comedy films.
Surprisingly its better quality than some smudged videos
That parrot is DEAD
Yeah, and so is everyone else in the film.
This... is and EX parrot.
kingkongzilla34
it's just sleeping
yes your right
but I'm glad he recorded a very special parrot.
True
0:57 what movie is it from?
I suppose he used 3 b&w camera's with each a red, green and a blue color filter on it to filter the right color out of it.
Then he tryed to reverse the procces by using a color spinning wheel with the 3 rgb color filters on top of each other, but that reflected light from the spinning wheel has to be combined to form the compleet image, he ditn't manage to do that, so the footage has to wait a110 years to finaly get back alive to be in color.
The bird is probably still alive.
Speechless.
i wish. i hate brittish accents and the host is talking too much
Could you send a link?
Wow, it's so beautiful!
So sad that he died at the age of only 29.
wow that's is so good
Because I learned all about Edward Turner
He had the right idea for the camera, but too bad the projector was a total nightmare. IF he had gone with 3 lenses side by side, Red, Blue, & Green. The projector could have been a lot simpler. Now I'm fully aware that the slightly different horizontal positions for the lenses would create a bad mismatch of the 3 colors the closer something gets, but at farther away it would work.
Impressive. That's the quality that Alien had...WHICH WAS RELEASED IN 1978!
Woow,that time is 1902 and a color film!!wooow...
That’s sad that he didn’t even get to watch his kids grow up
Ah... The good old days, when you would hit a fish bowl with sunflowers for entertainment. Yes, those were simpler times.
Sidenote: The little girl's hat is amazing-
As someone else mentioned below, color photographic/still image film ideas and processing goes back some dozen(s) of years earlier. I guess "natural color" is what this video is about, where the original light/photons of the image is used to expose the film of which it is recorded.
Um... its all photons.
we were quite advanced. old people make it out like cameras were only made like 1990s but weve been so advanced
How did I get to “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas” song to this....
I wish we could continue to make all kinds of cameras and make films in mediums by choice and not be forced by digital, because art is boundless and If i want to make a film with a camera from 30s, I should be able to, instead of trying to do a fake film look that looks cheap
I have a couple a videos up, of a 1954 RCA Ct-100 first color TV. Will be up for sale 5/1/14.
First actual natural color film in 1902 and the world's first Jet plane in 1910 in Romania. Proven fact for both.
I'd forgotten how beautiful Nicola Rees was on Look North

It seems that some of you are getting hung up on the title of this RUclips video, which I agree is a bit misleading. But if you watch the video, it really does make it pretty clear what they're talking about. It's only 2 minutes 32 seconds of your life wasted--how long did it take you to write your YT comment?
Amazing
He died a year later. His poor children.
Damn so that’s how to world looked before color was invented 🤔
Wow , amazing
Take the time to realize how many years it took our cameras to be in color...

What movie is that with the devils in it
What was the name
I tought it was 4k video lol

1902- the year my nan was born
Edward: I'm going to make the first colour film with kids trying to kill a fishes.
Kinemacolor is the first color process/system in the motion picture industry
Am I the only one who thought this looked like a video for Florence and the machine?
I suspect that when those kids and that parrot see themselves immortalized on color celluloid from 1902 they will be amazed and proud to be British.
I cant believe this comments are years ago
