Technicolor

Technicolor is a renowned, vibrant color motion picture process invented in 1916-1917 by Herbert Kalmus, Daniel Comstock, and W. Burton Wescott, which revolutionized Hollywood by replacing black-and-white with saturated,3-strip color. Using a specialized camera with a prism splitter and three black-and-white film strips, it produced unparalleled color intensity. Iconic films include Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz.
