The Development and Application of Colorization

Wilson Markle

This article describes the newly developed process of Colorization®, which utilizes modern computer technology to transform black-and-white motion pictures into color videotapes. A brief overview includes the role of the art director in determining the color needs of a scene, and the function of the computer in electronically adding the necessary colors. Many of the classic B&W films will thus be available to modern television audiences in color.
