...Ansco Color) in the independent movie, Sixteen Fathoms Deep. As the color is incorporated in the negative, making it possible to record it with an ordinary black & white camera, General Aniline hopes that Ansco will eventually compete with Technicolor. In some Sixteen Fathoms scenes Ansco Color, like the new Rouxcolor of Paris' Roux brothers (TIME, June 7), seemed far more natural than the more expensive Technicolor. But in other scenes Ansco Color was washed out, and faces were often only pale blobs. Ansco blamed most of the faults on the low ($175,000) producing budget, hopes to do better...
...subject of such superheated ban-nerlines last week was a new colored movie process called Rouxcolor. Though hardly as colossal as the excitable French puffs made out, the first Rouxcolor films made moviemen sit up & take notice. To many they seemed sharper and more nearly faithful to natural color values than Technicolor itself. Furthermore, Rouxcolor is an impressive cost-cutter: it can be made with an ordinary black& -white camera equipped with a special lens-at about the same cost as black-&-white film...
...Baker's Wife, The Welldigger's Daughter) asked to take some color shots of his own. They turned out so well that he decided to shelve the black-&-white film on Franz Schubert (La Belle Meuniere) which he had just finished, and shoot it over again in Rouxcolor. When he releases the color film next September, he expects to make "screen history...
...secret of Rouxcolor is a lens which is divided into four parts, each with a filter for a different color (red, yellow, green, blue). The four-in-one lens "decomposes" light, making four different images on the film. (A gadget prevents distortion of the images in relation to each other.) When projected through a similar lens, the four-color images are "recomposed" into one color picture. The color of the projected image on the screen is given, not by the film as in other processes, but by the four-in-one lens through which the black-&-white film is projected...
...Sale. Rouxcolor, the inventors say, can be filmed simply by attaching their four-in-one photo lens (a matter of two minutes) to a black-&-white camera, and shooting with black-&-white film. Projection is just as easy. Laboratories can process the film as if it were black-&-white, thus bypass the costly printing of color film...
