Wow! Just Wow! And thanks!

what is the science behind creating a color image from only black and white exposures

I just spent two hours looking for this video. Blessed to be back!

So is this more or less how technicolor movies were made?

OMG, I've found a lost marble... what a piece of work, I cannot imagine the effort you put into this...!

in some of the images- there is something really pure and special about the color- something I think I've seen in old 1940s and 30s three color type work... the process seems to love the off teal and faded red colors...

That's cool a cool experiment. But it only works for trichromacy and below with a 3-fold filter combination. I have (moderately functioning) tetrachromacy that's induced artificially via special glasses. For me there's literally an entire dimension of color missing in just an RGB image and it messes up colors a lot. For example, when I film a red-green (not yellow!) with my phone's camera it appears like a red-yellow on my screen, which is a different color. Also, I have yet to see a screen that can display a pure yellow without any red or green pollution. I'd need a camera (and screen) with RYGB, where the sensitivities to RYG are narrower than in trichromatic vision, to fully represent the colors that I can see. And to recreate your experiment, I'd need a red filter that doesn't let yellow light pass through, a yellowish filter that doesn't let red and green light pass through, a green filter that doesn't let any yellow light pass through and a standard blue filter. Inversely similar to how a strong dichromat would just need two filters to represent most to all of the colors they can see.

What does a rainbow look like with this method?

What happened to this channel?

Dude I absolutely loved this video, the editing is just so good and it's very informative as well. Well done and thank you for making this! Will definitely try this out.

Getting the "right" (primary colors) filters isn't easy. There are three specific Wratten filter numbers for tri-color imaging: Red 25, Green 58 and Blue 47B. Hard to get, even the Tiffen screw-on filters (they produced them until lately, or maybe they still do)! I did a similar experiment with some cheap plastic filters, but their colors were not quite right; and now, that I need some larger filters, these cheap filters look different in the size I need. So I searched and already have 25 and 58, but have trouble to get 47B …

The production went mega hard on this, I loved the creativity in the presentation! The editing was so snappy and your style is so upbeat and made this so entertaining! The analysis of the photos in the video were fun, but many of the examples you showed in succession at the end wound up outstanding with this method! Also, it gives a really nice quality using a sharp, but relatively coarse grained film like tri-x for this experiment! Really magnificent!!

I adore film

Edutainment is a lost art.... But it lives!

What a beautifully made and entertaining video!! This is criminally underrated!

Please, take your comedy to another channel. Let's just have education here.

What value filters did you finally settle on?

This is the underlying process of technicolor movies. The camera used beam splitters to direct the captured images onto 3 separate rolls of film.

Wow cool video ❤ could I get this effect on digital camera ?

If you put the 3 negatives on top of each other, would you see them in colour then?

man, production value through the roof on this. I'd watch you over Grainy Days any day of the week

awsome thx man

Maxwell method (1861)

I was expecting that you would reversal process the film to give positive images and project them on to a screen using three separate projectors with the appropriate colour filters.

Suprised you only have 225 subscribers, this is genuinely incredible

Can you tell me where you got your darker/better color gel set? I love these!

I wish all photography tutorials were as dynamic and fun as this! Super memorable and informative, I love it.

Awesome video

Bodw free good!

Question: How do you combine all three gel-filtered b&w photos together in Photoshop?

It seems that red, green and blue makes up most, if not all the colors we can see. But would you mind doing this experiment again? This time using a green and magenta filter to see if 2 colors can show the visible color spectrum? I'm interested in this because of various 2 color movie processes from the 1910's - 1930's being able to show a lot of useful, but not quite all of the colors we can see. And the reason for green and magenta is that magenta is in between red and blue. The green is used as a filler that helps magenta reach blue. And magenta is hopefully close enough to red to show it how it's supposed to be. Do you want to give this a try?

Fantastic Editing. Love it.

Nice video and edit for small creator

Beautiful video

The lighter filters were awesome

Absolute class video! Shocked that its not got more views

Jesus!! Just watched your three colour method as well, and you are head and shoulders above all the tripe . And there is your problem. I sincerely hope you have a tonne more subs in real life because you bloody deserve it.

great editing, great experiment, very nice :)

Good stuff this is!

I don't like beer but this makes me want to go out and buy one. Once again, great work.

Very. Nice.

It absolutely is a treasure chest. I've spent my life as a still photographer. So I finally took a couple of cinematography classes at a local college. This is stuff they don't teach. It is absolutely wonderful. And for me inspirational.

Ken Burns would be proud.

Very creative.

This video just came up on my feed. I wish all videos on TH-cam were of this quality. Exceptionally well done and very creative. Information and entertainment values were tremendous.

Could you potentially do a tutorial on how to use photoshop in the process?

Hi! Thanks for the video. Did you use the same exposure value for each Red, Green and Blue shots?

Fantastic video. Great tip on using the darker colors!

Very well done. Criminally underviewed. Will try the method.

Bro u deserve a lot more attention, kidz need to see this instead of TikTok shit.
