As Douglas Fairbanks stated, colour:
‘always met with overwhelming objections. Not only has the process of colour motion picture photography never been perfected, but there has been a grave doubt whether […] it could be applied, without detracting more than it added to motion picture technic. The argument has been that it would tire and distract the eye, take attention from acting, and facial expression, blur and confuse the action.’
also by the author of this article ( http://the-artifice.com/history-of-colour-film/) -
“Colour was seen as distracting from the story and unsuited for intense dramas. It was commonly used in light-hearted genres like Westerns, musicals or cartoons. Black-and-white was favoured for darker dramas and was treated very distinctly from colour. The Academy Awards for example had two separate categories, one for best black-and-white film and one for best colour-feature.” |
But people didn't look like they had drank too many energy drinks! I like my movies the way they are. 4K, 8k great. HFR, not so much.
