Capturing moments in time

In the modern age, millennial's are used to the ability of applying Sepia tones and other color filters to their photos. This can be done in the blink of an eye through their phones or in applications like Photoshop.

But where did these styles originate? We look back to the introduction of Technicolor in film.

The technology that makes up Technicolor came from filming simultaneously on Red, Green, and Blue pigmented film. From the inverse film rolls were able to be printed by a combination of Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow.

The film the Wizard of Oz was among the first to explore the full potential of Technicolor. In the beginning of the film the photography is all in seeming Sepia tone. In actuality, an entire set was constructed in Sepia color schemes to produce a trickery of sorts. This leads to an interesting comparison to today's media.

With apps such as Photoshop becoming so prolific, media such as film which once specialized in cleverness of shots, has transitioned to a point where CGI and effects blur the line between real and augmented.

There will always be a place in the heart of movie goers for classic recording methods, as evident by Dunkirk's use of 70mm film. In many qualities, the old ways of doing things will remain; timelessly the best.
