      It's so sad that people who wat h movies these daze do not understand that Black and White film was used as an art within itself and is ruined when colorized. Maybe we should colorized every film noir while we're at it?
      I know, what's a film noir?

      Lugosi was never in a Hammer movie, vampire or other. Lugosi' last film was Plan 9 From Outer Space. He dies August 16, 1956.
      Hammer started movies in England circa 1957.

      @@michaelkaminski8339 Lugosi was in a Hammer movie. Phantom Ship 1935. One of Hammer's first movie. I was also talking about Lee's red cape. And yes, Lugosi was in other vampire movies. My Son the Vampire, Return of the Vampire, Mark of the Vampire. We have seen props of the capes from those movies and it was usually lined red like Lee's. The original cape and the one worn in the Abbott and Costello crossover was lined either gold or purple. It was the posters that always depicted the cape in red.

    Nice Video; I have a mint condition 16mm Print of A&CMF in my film library. I remember when Beta & VHS were coming on the scene in the late 70's;Video Rental Stores were opening up all over. I ordered a VHS copy of this movie and had to pay 50 bucks for it back then. Didn't look as good as my Film Print but it was nice to have. I still have that VHS Tape going on 35 yrs and it still looks the same as when I bought it. So much for the video tape experts saying the image on Beta & Vhs tape would disappear after 20 yrs
    Since none of the major studios are shooting film any longer; I wish Universal would digitally color and remaster this Film along with their Horror Genre classics of the 40's. Probably wouldn't appeal to kid's audiences of today but their are still a good number of Nostagia people out there that would pay to go to a Multiplex and see these old Universal Classics in DCP.....

    I guess to each their own, I prefer the original B&W, IMO colorization seems cartoonish and not natural in some scenes. It ruins the movie but this is my opinion.
    Great work though, must have taken some time?

    • @michaelkaminski8339
      @michaelkaminski8339 3 года назад

      I guess nobody remembers this any longer but about 25 years ago, even before cable stations proliferated that catered to our every niche, there was a huge colorization program by Turner on all the old Black and White classics.
      It was awful, received poorly and soon forgotten.
      Thank God. 🤣

    I would definitely love to see this in the theater. I love the animated look of the walk through the laboratory. What was the rationale behind that choice? I think that would look good (match well stylistically) in a reedit with the colorized Drac to Bat transformation. Think about doing a full feature -- getting that in theaters is one thing I'd write my representatives about.

    • @TedNewsom
      @TedNewsom  8 лет назад +1

      +Carridine Poran - the lab-- I love that shot; the "technique" wasn't artsy but a practical one. I have to capture frames one by one then re=assemple them in order. I don't have the patience or ability to a cool animation like Kerry Gammell (the Wolfman at the door & the cartoon) or Mark Thompson (first Dracula/bat shot). The alternate version of this video is ALL in color (I thought I uploaded that version-- maybe not).. and hand-coloring something like 100 frames took an age.)

    • @kerrydennehy
      @kerrydennehy 8 лет назад

      Well, it all works. Personally I prefer the choppiness of 8 frames per second to anything more sophisticated. It keeps the viewer aware that they are looking at a crafted thing, and removed from the strictures of naturalism, the imagination of the creator is more free, even when constrained by such labor intensive work. Thank you for that work by the way. I enjoyed its results.

    • @TedNewsom
      @TedNewsom  7 лет назад

      You'd think so, but no. It was a pearl color in A/C/FRANK. Lugosi MAY have worn one with red lining at some point in the original Dracula, and his non-Dracula cape is definitely red in Scared to Death... but funny enough, it's actually the usual colors for high-falootin' opera dress: black tux and white tie, black cape with white lining.

      Surely that was just because of the way certain colors stood in for other colors in black and white movies. But you can still make it something else; someone colorizing the Superman serials starring Kirk Alyn would hardly make his uniform gray and brown, even though it was in real life.
      But it's your project, so I ain't gonna tell you what to do. The gold is striking, to be sure.
