Colour-tinted film of a fireworks spectacular
12 January 2022
I'd agree with the reviewer kekseka that this film is indeed sensational and should be better known, but it's not, as the review claims, a natural colour film. Instead, the print available online is hand-tinted, with each frame individually and painstakingly coloured using brushes, as is particularly noticeable in the shots of rockets and Roman candles where broad strokes are used. I'd say this method of colouring adds something natural colour wouldn't, abstracting the image and increasing the impression of kinetic art. It's certainly not Kinemacolour, which was a two-colour additive process that resulted in a distinctive flickering colour palate not evident here.
