            Early technicolor films literally required a specialist to manage the camera, stop acting like you know shit

              coloring is a post-production application, jackass. only television has color applied live.

                I did, now maybe you should. Not only did they use different cameras, had a specialist on set to supervise the filming, but it also required a completely different approach to cinematography. Posting some wiki link doesn't change the fact that you're an imbecile

                and you conveniently ignored where it states "shot on black and white film" in every technicolor process

                irrelevant to your claim that it's entirely done in post-production, which is patently false. If it needs a special camera, that directors making a B&W film wouldn't use, then it's not purely a post-production process, idiot

                actually you're the only one that claimed it was done entirely in post

                Technicolor on Wizard of Oz was a 3 strip process. That's why the camera was so bulky and noisy. 3 strips of black and white 35mm film photographed the scene behind different coloured filters.

                They were recombined to make color prints.

                They required massive amounts of light. It really helped if you were in California.

    Godzilla mainly works because of the black and white filming.
    The extreme contrast between the dark night scenes, bright flames, dark highly reflective suit, all caught in black and white film, are what creates its entire haunting atmosphere.

    I remember some boomer insisting that the Wizard of Oz was colorized much later and wouldn't believe it when I said it was originally released in color. I had to pull out my phone and look it up and show them. Why the frick do boomers have to always insist on being right?
