What is Technicolor?
No Film School: If you start studying film history, you're going to get lists of companies and processes that created the industry we know and love today.
One of those processes is Technicolor. Well, it's technically upwards of five different processes, but we'll get to that. So, what does that even mean? And what was its impact on early Hollywood?
There's a whole lot to unpack.

Color video is one of those things that seems like a given, yeah of course that exists, for me, and then every once in a while I step back and realize how bat shit it is that black and white video cameras exist, let alone colored ones! I had no idea that there was a version of technicolor with only red and green, when it feels like if you're missing a whole primary color it would extremely limit the output colors. I’m really interested in where color technology is going to go in the future, and if one day movies will all be three dimensional hologram displays of reality, and my grandchildren will look back at technicolor movies and think we all lived in a two dimensional world, the same way I look back at old black and white movies and wonder if the entire past was black and white.
