Videos @lemmy.ml dirtmayor @beehaw.org 2y ago Exact moment when news station switches from black and white to color TV for the first time
That's pretty neat. I wonder if they had to switch sets because backgrounds for black and white shows used exaggerated colors to improve the contrast.See The Addams Family set below.
I remember how mind blown i was when I saw that photo & learned that red shows darker than black in b&w film. So cool
And, of course, people remember how bright and colorful the set of the original Star Trek was, and the costumes, too!
This post made me go down a bit of a rabbit role about colour TVs... TIL Thunderbirds was recorded 4 years before it could be broadcasted in colour in the UK on ITV. The History of Colour TV in the UK
I didn't think it would be that dramatic but it was. And I'm sure it was 100x more dramatic for anyone that actually had a TV capable of color back then.
That is so cool thank you for sharing.
