Talk:Trucolor

TRUCOLOR was the name for three DIFFERENT color film processes of Consolidated Film Industries (CFI), Hollywood and Fort Lee, N. J., USA: 1. Two-color film as described in your article, used 1947-1952. 2, Three-color film (1949-1953) with multilayer DuPont Color Release Positive Film as printing material, first from cartoons photographed by the successive frame method (three single exposures with red, green and blue filters resp.), then since 1951 from Eastman Color negatives. 3. Only a trade name for Eastman Color negative and positive films used by CFI 1953-1958. To this group of Trucolor belongs the feature JOHNNY GUITAR. See: Gert Koshofer, COLOR - DIE FARBEN DES FILMS, Berlin-West 1988.

While DuPont supplied the stock for Trucolor's three-color process between 1951 and 1953, prints after '53 were on Kodak 5382. Contrary to the Haines quote, DuPont's exit from the film business had nothing to do with the end of Trucolor. The Photoplayer 11:29, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Change made to the article, using your info, thanks. About that illustration in the article; isn't there a better example of what Trucolor looked like? Even the "corrected" color looks awful. — Walloon (talk) 18:13, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

That's the only example I have in my collection. Trucolor consistently looked crappy (but of course, I can't write that into the article). The Photoplayer 22:02, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I would love to see that in an encyclopedia article. — Walloon (talk) 06:35, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
