As I browse through Ebay I can't help noticing more and more old classics that have been colorized. On utube I found the excellent 'Night to remember' from 1958 presented in wonderfully sharp 4K technology and full colour.
While I say full colour, it was actually rather hit and miss, with some scenes OK but others changing colour during the actual shot as the camera pans.
This hit and miss method seems to be gathering acceptance in the desperate race to make these old black and white classics more appealing to the younger generation.
While not acceptable to many of us purists, if its going to be done, people like Legend films seem to be the best at doing it, with companies like LCC artificial intelligence apparently using an automatic system.
Does anyone have any information on this?
