This is pretty amazing how they colorized it. I just projected my Black and White Super 8 copy for Halloween.

quote:
From Wikipedia:
... some prints of A Trip to the Moon were individually hand-colored by Elisabeth Thuillier's coloring lab in Paris. Thuillier, a former colorist of glass and celluloid products, directed a studio of two hundred people painting directly on film stock with brushes, in the colors she chose and specified. Each worker was assigned a different color in assembly line style, with more than twenty separate colors often used for a single film. On average, Thuillier's lab produced about sixty hand-colored copies...

Actually, the hand painted/dyed version IS the original. The later prints for collectors in black and white are the dupes.
I recently showed the Pathe hand colored El Espectro Rojo to my audience during my October film series. It was the short I ran with the 90th anniversary showing of the 1925 Phantom of the Opera. (remember Chaney appears as The Red Spectre)
The audience was amazed and wowed by the short, especially when I explained how the film was colored. I can't imagine seeing that short in black and white only.

When I typed-in 'original black and white', meant that as the hand-colored version, same as GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY - Was just too tired to concentrate
