I have a couple ..the best is actually a standard 8mm film from the old Thunderbird Films company....something like el especto rojo....the red spectre.....beautiful ...each object in each frame colored....by hand.... it looks like of the Melies trick films.....lots of camera tricks. The effort that went into coloring it must have been tremendous. it's not tinted and toned, but actually colored . amazing.
