Talk:Film tinting

Annabelle's hand tinted films
The most detailed and throughly researched catalog of Edison films from the 1890s is Edison Motion Pictures, 1890-1900: An Annotated Filmography, by film historian Charles Musser. According to Musser, the hand-colored film Annabelle Serpentine Dance preceded her Butterfly Dance films. The Internet Movie Database contains erroneous information about Edison's movies of Annabelle, including listing the same film twice under different titles. — Walloon 21:14, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I actually tried correcting this earlier today. I think perhaps the term "hand coloring" would probably be better suited for this paragraph, as I've seen people refer to general tinting as "hand tintint" (ie. dipped in dye rather than pre-dyed base).The Photoplayer  21:24, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Splicing
It is hard to claim that sound-on-disc processes were a "major" factor in the discontinuation of film tinting if only one studio, Warner Bros.-First National, used sound-on-disc as its primary recording medium. Yes, other studios also released their films in Vitaphone versions for those theaters that still had only sound-on-disc projectors, but those would only be a small part of their print production, given that the studios owned theater chains at the time. Is there any contemporary source from 1926-1930 that discussed film tinting in relation to sound-on-disc processes? — Walloon 15:00, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 * SMPE did an article about it in The Transactions of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers, 1929 Number 37. I wouldn't say sound-on-disc prints were a "major" factor, and sound in general had no bearing on it.  Tinting died because it was an expensive, laborious process.  It also meant splices, though, which did have an effect on wear and sync, if there was any sound to be synced. Optical sound had very little to do with anything-- Kodak introduced Sonochrome stocks and the issue was put to rest.  -The Photoplayer  15:33, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I've edited it so that it's clear that this is a minor point. It wasn't really marked as a "major" one in the first place, but now there will be no confusion.  -The Photoplayer  15:35, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
