Early color film, both motion picture and still photography, struggled to capture some shades on the color spectrum at this point . In fact it wasn't until the 1930s that most of these issues were finally overcome and realistic true color photography became a reality. Having said that, what we have here is still pretty incredible despite its limitations. That this 113 year old footage survives is remarkable and all filmed in natural light. Color brings things to life because we can connect with it and there is something timeless in these images. Remember this was filmed six years before WW1 and only seven years after Queen Victoria died so it is a remarkable link with the past.
Full color images have existed several years before Kinemacolor came out. It was just that a 2 color process was easier to film in and project. And although full color film processes probably have existed since Gaumont Chronochrome in 1912, and the outcome was amazing and simultaneously took the images needed, this process was both expensive, and needed a special projector to show the film. This was a problem until 3 strip Technicolor came out. But it was still expensive. So that, and the fact that 2 color processes like Cinecolor didn't show the worst of results, allowed 2 color processes to survive until around 1955. Where the last of the 2 color processes fell obsolete mostly due to Eastman color becoming much more inexpensive.
This is because the system alternated frames shot with the color filters (green and red). The actual frames were black and white but when played back they were played through the same color filters Because of the alternating colors being switched on and off, on fast moving frames there is a shadowing effect along the borders that resembles the old 3D films. One difference is that the spacial diversion of the two colors is based on speed of movement rather than on distance to the camera/viewer.
the fact that its in colour makes it so more realistic! by the way just realise this - these middle aged people, in their youth (1860s) would DEFINATLY have met people who were born in the 1700s. just think of that!
Two-color technicolor cement processes were better than this because it did not have a color wheel it had a prism. This meant that the images stayed together no fringing. The only problem with that is the since each image was on the other side the plane was at distance. It wasn't sharp and it was hard to focus and the heat of the lamp had caused the film to cup. Worst the early experimental imbition prints in 25 -26 the color was weaker than the cement print.As late as the early talkies some two-color technicolor features, like the vagabond king, were sent in cement prints cause the color was stronger than in imbibition prints. However, it was improved by 32 before they introduced three-strip
Nice shot of Roger Stone and his wife traveling in H G Welles' Time Machine in those last few seconds😂 Seriously, though, this is so amazing, thank you for uploading!
@@wyrdness1 A Trip to the Moon and a number of early silent films were laboriously hand coloured frame by frame - or using stencils, But GA Smith actually photographed in colour.
Great Film! Where did you get the footage? I'm looking to license the footage for a television show, I would be very glad if you could help me with this!
There's a film called something like "those long forgotten days" on the British Pathe channel, I sourced the footage from there before extracting the colour, upscaling the footage and interpolating the framerate. I mostly used Blender.
there was a handcolored film annabelle serpentine dance (1895) by Edison studios and the first true color film of kids playing in the garden (1902) by Edward Raymond Turner
If this is legit color, it's probably Kinemacolor, because of the fringing. Technicolor Process #2 didn't fringe, and the only thing filmed in Process #1 is lost, except for a few frames.
too bad KinemaColor could`nt be perfected. too much strobing and color bleed from trying to sync the color wheel to keep in time with the red and green colors on the film. But ti was cool to watch anyway
Please if and when you look at my video's please make a comment, even if it's not nice. If it isn't good, then express the problems of my video's so I can improve them. Be insulting if you want. If my video can be better than let me know. I'm here to please you. I promise I won't spot watching your videos.I'm trying to learn as an amateur filmmaker. If you are being backed up by a corporation and they are telling you not to do this ignore them and give me constructive criticism. Please hurt my feeling please offend me. Tell the truth about my videos. Don't be nice. I wan to make my video's better
for a privilged few... brighton is lovely but was a wealthy place away from the working industrial towns and cities. "better" times when the average british person and their sons were up cleaning the chimneys and/or stuck working down a mine for most of their lives. how my miner granda lived, think he'd prefer gay people being allowed to live a life like nowadays than that work again 🙄

This actually kinda has the look of a old 3D movie
You know, with the red and blue glasses?
I like it.
It wasn't intended that way but if you watch the last shot with 3D glasses it does kind of work

This is 1908 not 1860
@@maxjhonson4546 no they were in their youth in the 1860s
how? 1700+100=1800 so they would need to be at least 160 years old which isn’t possible.
@@qtnv. 1700s not 1700 on the dot
@@reachfelix2000 yes but it means 1700-1710 so big deal lol
Ah the 2 strip technicolor! Sure it may not look right but the fact color is being captured at all is a big breakthrough!

Girls in bathing suits in 1908 are really cool and cute. I cannot believe that this color footage was shot even before the outbreak of World War I.

People were so modest back in the days
its hard to believe this hasnt been touched up
so this was the first color movie ever made...
filmed by George Albert Smith, by the way...
you're forgetting A Trip To The Moon in 1902 by Georges Méliès

Incredible stuff, great job.
This looks like it’s made in modern times! It’s very good colour technology for the early 1900s 💀 This film is even older than Disney!
I would love to have one of those plaid dresses.
Love this! Thank you!

Wow the good old days
I just love how well dressed people were back in those days.
Just amazing. I just love the clothes and hats.

Unknown Longing by Asher Fulero
This was t colorized , it was had color in 1908! It was the first color film.
Gasp, the world back then had, gasp, color!
This is really fantastic!
Dude, do you use Premiere Pro for this? And where do you get these clips from?

@@oldfilmsandstuff4679 awesome work dude!
Is this color video really from 1908 or remastered?
The colour is real, recorded using the earliest commercial colour film process; Kinemacolor
The fact that none of the people in this movie are alive right now scares me
To be fair, the same is true for many movies from the 50s.
@@oldfilmsandstuff4679 i think they're talking about how out of everyone earth who was alive in 1908 only 6 people are alive now.
That will be us one day too
Beach clothes in the 1900's are a bit similar to the clothes we wear now
Lumiere brothers Autochrome. One of the very first color films Still and cinema.
0:27 the kids cloths looks like something from the late 1900s
how come these amazing colour videos stopped showing after 1912?
Very cool.
The way the color shifts looks like tripping on mushrooms
The lady in the white dress with the guy looks like rose from titanic.
1:07 the guy holding onto his girls arm, it’s sweet seeing young couples(now very very old long gone couple lol) not do the social norms
The first colored footage ever
there was a handcolored film annabelle serpentine dance (1895) by Edison studios
