Abstract
The method of producing a colored film from an exposed black-and-white picture and especially from an exposed black-and-white motion picture film wherein a black-and-white image is projected onto a surface, opaque pastel colors are applied within selected areas of the projected image and the reflected colored composite, of the opaque pastel colors and the black-and-white image superimposed thereon, is then photographed with color-sensitive film.
Claims8
The method of converting a black-and-white picture to a colored film, comprising:
- 1. projecting a black-and-white image of the black-and-white picture onto a surface;
- 2. applying color to said surface at selected areas of the projected black-and-white image to provide an opaque composite of applied color and superimposed black-and-white image;
- and
- 3. while maintaining the projection of the black-and-white image on said surface, photographing with color-sensitive film the composite on the surface.
The method of converting a black-and-white motion picture film to a colored motion picture film comprising:
- a. projecting a first black-and-white image from a first frame of the black-and-white motion picture film onto a surface.
- 2. applying color to said surface at selected areas of the projected first black-and-white image to provide an opaque first composite of applied color and superimposed first black-and-white image;
- 3. while maintaining the projection of the first black-and-white image on said surface, photographing with color-sensitive film said first composite;
- 4. projecting a second black-and-white image from a second frame of the black-and-white motion picture film onto the color-bearing surface;
- 5. applying opaque color to said surface at selected areas as necessary to synchronize the colored areas with said second black-and-white image to provide an opaque second composite of applied color and superimposed second black-and-white image;
- and
- 6. while maintaining the projection of the second black-and-white image on said surface, photographing with the color-sensitive film said second composite.
The method of converting a black-and-white picture to a colored medium, comprising:
- 1. projecting a black-and-white image of the black-and-white picture onto a surface;
- 2. applying color to said surface at selected areas of the projected black-and-white image to provide an opaque composite of applied color and superimposed black-and-white image;
- and
- 3. while maintaining the projection of the black-and-white image on said surface, photographing the composite on a color-sensitive medium.
