I've got a Game Boy Printer too, but I haven't used it in a while! There are more details about what I discovered, and how to download my music in the description!

It's impressive that you've spent so much time with Tom, working with him on his videos and haven't subconsciously absorbed his style. Rather, you've come up with a format and style that is both fantastic and, as far as I can tell, uniquely yours. Keep up the good work because we dig it!
"Or even your camera if it has a black and white mode" You realize you're suggesting we take our color cameras, convert it to black and white, take R, G, and B pictures with it, and turn it back to color right? Sounds fun, honestly.
I actually threw together a really precarious windows script that used the screen to illuminate a subject in red, green and blue, took photos with the webcam, and then combined them to produce a pretty dark and washed out color picture (mostly the webcam's fault) a few years ago
2 years later I just posted a question comment before reading this comment. My question was: Do the color filters not completely negate the need for a b/w filter? Wouldn't the result be the exactly the same? I'm probably being dumb
@@lewisfilby2394 actually yeah you probably wouldn't need to do the black and white filter, though it's all in fun anyway. Its too see if we can take three grey images and get color out of them. We're starting with a color camera after all
neat! I had a gameboy camera... there were some really strange things you could do with it... My mom was upset that I had a digital camera before anyone else in the family (I come from a family of photonerds.) She made me take a family photo with it when I got it, and went out and bought me the printer when she realized that there was no way to get the picture off the camera. Good times, Mister Gray!
Wait... are you suggesting that I take my phone, which captures perfectly good color images, and put the phone in b&w mode to capture 3 (better 4, add an intensity channel) b&w images through r, g, and b filters, and then laboriously recombine them in Photoshop to form a color image? What a ridiculously pointless thing to do. I LOVE it! Will have to try as soon as there is something better than a grey winter day to photograph.
Many spacecraft have used a similar method to create colour images. One of the Voyager cameras has a wheel which allows one of 8 different filters to be selected for each image.
Oh, the 8bit guy did a video about the gameboy camera and another about this same technique, but he never tried the two together. I really wished he did, but now I see you did it instead. Great job!!
I've watched this video before, and I've watched numerous other ones like it. They never get old. I just really love seeing DIY color photography stuff! ❤️💚💙
I just love that litt6le laugh at the end, lets us all know that you are really doi9ng what you love and enjoying life. Nothing makes me happi9er than seeing people happy.
In 2001 David Friedman found out that the camera's sensor chip is sensible to infrared rays, so he shot the pics with an infrared filter to get proper color separation. I suppose you used one too.
I still cannot comprehend how three different black and white photos combine to make a colour one. Yes, you explained it, and in theory i get it but in practice my brain just kind of breaks
Brilliant! This is the sort of thing that makes me glad there’s an internet- somebody doing something silly but clever just for the fun of it, and sharing it with the world.
That's amazing, but your chiptune music sounds like something out of Mega Man or Shovel Knight, and I'm honestly more impressed with it than with the photography, and I'd love to hear more. Great video and great music Matt, and that Park Bench tease was just evil...can't wait to see more from your channel, I love whenever you upload.
This is how most astrophotography is done - several exposures with different coloured filters (usually several videos and then the frames for each stacked before combining)
I like how videos by like Matt, Tom... other Matt from the Queen's Land are like quality actually thought-out and wel structured stuff with introduction, body and conclusion which I can expect to see on actual TV... meanwhile in the USA its a bunch of people yeeting content onto the internet and screaming an outro.
2:43 You can see how the GB Camera also captures infrared light here. They're both wearing dark red shirts, but they show up as pink in the image. I assume their dark red clothes also reflect infrared light, which presumably isn't blocked by any of the color filters.
I had a friend do this back the early 80s… he took a black and white video camera, hooked it up to a primitive video capture device, and would take frames with filters. Then he wrote his own software to combine the images...
This is also how a lot of astrophotography is done. B&W sensors are a lot cheaper and usually have less noise than color sensors with similar MP ratings, so a lot of astrophotographers use filters to generate their color images.
Fab Matt, always love the wacky yet informative and scientifically interesting videos you do. My only complaint? I wish there were more but do appreciate you have both a proper job with salary to do and Tom Scott to manage 😉
This reminds me of the NewTek DigiView rig I had back in the 90's for the Amiga. It used a Cheap (for the time) B&W Video camera, and a motorized color wheel to take really nice color scans.
Back in the day i had this Digi-View Commodore Amiga 4096 Color Digitizer for my Amiga 2000 that basically did the same thing you pointed a video camera at an image and then rotated a wheel with the rgb filters over the lens.

Make a video with the printer too
Can it print in rgb? If not, is it a thermal printer or does it use ink?
@@FloydBunsen Thermal printer, and the print outs are pretty tiny and quite faint. The paper is quite hard to come by due to the small size but some blank receipt papers work.
Perhaps you can turn the game boy printer into a colour printer with some sort of multi layer printing technique :)
I think you might also be getting some interference from some kind of dithering/halftone algorithm the Gameboy Camera is applying.
And this kids is how Matt Grey became Matt Colour
I personally prefer gloss gray to Matt gray
🤦🏼♀️
Matt RGB
*Gray there really is no preference here, it's his name, so get it right
* claps *
I'm more impressed by the fact that you made all the chip tunes, too. Awesome stuff, Matt!
Yeah, the music was awesome
Don't tease us with park bench photos!
Right???
My thoughts too! Park Bench Reloaded in 2019!
Everything's getting rebooted lately...maybe JJ Abrams will help them bring it back in 2019
The Park Bench: The 8-bit Years
All the feels!
Polaroid cameras are too main stream for Matt. He is on a whole nother hipster plane.

I can imagine 100 years ago the photographer shouted to the guy on picture
"JUST DON'T MOVE WHILE I AM CHANGING THE FILTER"
"Or even your camera if it has a black and white mode"

By using these 3 filters, we can turn Matt Gray into Matt Colour.
neat!

I love this! Very creative. Also, park bench at the end.. RIP
That is so cool. I knew the technique but with a gameboy camera? Glorious!
From just the first few sounds I recognized the PO20 - how lovely to have that as background for such an 8-bit-ish topic :)
same
That photo of the bukhara dude is incredible. Thanks for linking to it.
This is so cool! ❤️💙💚
The end is rather sad and touching really.
Yup. The Park Bench tease was bittersweet.
How so?
I think that little snippet at the end was an awfully cruel tease to your loyal viewers. No Tom! No banter! Nevermore!
Matt.. that horse tornado pic was mazing 😂
Many spacecraft have used a similar method to create colour images. One of the Voyager cameras has a wheel which allows one of 8 different filters to be selected for each image.
And this is fantastic, honestly the Tom Scott, Matt Grey, Tech Diff rabbit holes is one of the best I ever fell down.

I'm most impressed by the fact that the Gameboy photos come out looking like nice pieces pixel art
Really liked this video, and especially the music is really great! ChipGlitch sounds absolutely gorgeous!
This is so cool!
You need a Hot Mirror filter to block infared light and get allow only visible light to get to the camera for proper colour images.
* somehow does a very pixelated low frame rate livestream on a game boy*
When you said paste onto the RGB layers, you meant to say Channels!

This was impressive, with the theme tune and production quality! It looks awesome!
pls more

Always great to see a Gameboy Camera still in use. Now I have the urge of getting my old Gameboy stuff back in use.
I still cannot comprehend how three different black and white photos combine to make a colour one. Yes, you explained it, and in theory i get it but in practice my brain just kind of breaks
Here's me thinking 'sweet, a new photography video from matt day... wait no its matt GRAY!!' I'd love to see you do more videos about photography!
Brilliant! This is the sort of thing that makes me glad there’s an internet- somebody doing something silly but clever just for the fun of it, and sharing it with the world.
That's amazing, but your chiptune music sounds like something out of Mega Man or Shovel Knight, and I'm honestly more impressed with it than with the photography, and I'd love to hear more. Great video and great music Matt, and that Park Bench tease was just evil...can't wait to see more from your channel, I love whenever you upload.
This made me incredibly happy. Thank you
Just amazing
I'm loving the new videos Matt. Keep up the good work!
Of course being Christmas time, quality street wrappers make for great filters too!
This is how most astrophotography is done - several exposures with different coloured filters (usually several videos and then the frames for each stacked before combining)
yea but those have much better filters and better cameras as well as MUCH longer exposure times
This idea deserves so much more views/credit than what it'll probably end up receiving. Amazing!
Better then most UFO videos today.
This is a lot more "youtuber-y" then a lot of your stuff. I like the production and voice to the camera. keep at it!
Some of these are actually hard to believe. Great job!
I didn't realize Mat was also a musician. So much talent in one person.
That is a really clever way of taking a colour photo with a black and white camera.
Really enjoying these new videos Matt! And love the music!
dat bench
I didn't know you wrote music! Sounds great!
I had a feeling it would be RGB filter sheets after the 8-Bit Guy demonstrated a similar technique with a black-and-white webcam months ago. XD
I like how videos by like Matt, Tom... other Matt from the Queen's Land are like quality actually thought-out and wel structured stuff with introduction, body and conclusion which I can expect to see on actual TV... meanwhile in the USA its a bunch of people yeeting content onto the internet and screaming an outro.
The chiptune is really catchy!
I love the way you structured the video
I had no idea such a thing existed and it brought a smile to my face. Thanks!!
Liked and subbed. Why haven't I seen your videos in my YT feed until today, this is exactly what I like watching...
2:43 You can see how the GB Camera also captures infrared light here. They're both wearing dark red shirts, but they show up as pink in the image. I assume their dark red clothes also reflect infrared light, which presumably isn't blocked by any of the color filters.
Dude. This is so great. Well done!
Most excellent.
PO-20
Really liked this Matt!
These were awesome. Amazing music too, but some of those built in pictures were terrifying!
That was awesome, I like how "simple" it was to get color photos from a Gameboy camera. I wish I had a gameboy camera for my old Gameboy.
Matt. You're very talented mate. Bravo.
You've evolved from Matt Gray to Matt Color
Aaaa I love this kind of music and was really interested to find out what it was, thanks so much for making it available!
love the pocket operator soundtrack
Awesome Matt! I love this video style!
So cool, Matt! Would love to see more of your experiments!
Cool editing and music!
That's actually pretty friggin cool.
Wow, that's great! Definitely want to try this, but with slightly different filters to see what cool effects I can do.
This is actually how some space vessels take images
I actually bought one of these a month or two ago for ¥300 at a local used game store. Brought back memories of when I had one and a printer.
That moment when you go to look for the music credits and it's Matt himself! wow
I had a friend do this back the early 80s… he took a black and white video camera, hooked it up to a primitive video capture device, and would take frames with filters. Then he wrote his own software to combine the images...
This is also how a lot of astrophotography is done. B&W sensors are a lot cheaper and usually have less noise than color sensors with similar MP ratings, so a lot of astrophotographers use filters to generate their color images.
We want more like this please
This looks like a great, if convoluted way to produce patterns for cross stitch or other needlework.
Fab Matt, always love the wacky yet informative and scientifically interesting videos you do. My only complaint? I wish there were more but do appreciate you have both a proper job with salary to do and Tom Scott to manage 😉
Holy crap, this is so cool!
Also, I am extremely digging these tunes, good stuff!
This is brilliant
Matt you genius
That one of the graffiti is pretty awesome.
Amazing content again. Your channel really needs more attention this is amazing....
I think this is my first time a Matt Gray appeared in my recommended.
This was awesome. Insane they made made a camera for this though

Wow, that is wicked cool! I've always been interested in the Game Boy Camera, even though I've never owned one.
Nice music composition!
Quite a few people on RUclips have tried this, but none have got results as good as this.
Great video! Merry Christmas Matt.
This is actually incredible.
This is so Awesome!
1:51 I swear that sounded like an American Train horn as the music started.
No, it sounded in tune.
oooo a park bench!
I swear the 8-bit guy discovered this before
Back in the day i had this Digi-View Commodore Amiga 4096 Color Digitizer for my Amiga 2000 that basically did the same thing you pointed a video camera at an image and then rotated a wheel with the rgb filters over the lens.
