Synopsis

Early c. 1912 Kinemacolor test film made by Luca Comerio. White balance corrected to show a more natural result. Charles Urban (1867 - 1942) marketed the Kinemacolor process, the first successful color film process, from 1908 to about 1916. The process was invented by Urban along with George Albert Smith (1864 - 1959). It was a two-color process, photographing and projecting a black-and-white film behind alternating red and green filters.
