cross-referencing classes

In my Film Studies class, we're learning about how early film strips were tinted, toned, and hand-painted to create various color effects. I'm sure the photography people in the class know all about this, but I think it's really interesting, and especially relevant to light.

From "Cenere", an example of film toning



From "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari," an example of tinting



From "The Wizard of Oz," a classic example of Technicolor - famous for rich, saturated color
