The motion picture industry continues

its evolution to wide-angle and three- dimensional presentations.

Development of new procedures is not

screen. Today our work is to accommo- date our procedures to serve an increas- ing number of screen techniques, all of

which are still in more or less formative stages. Dr. Herbert T.

THREE-STRIP NEGATIVE When color motion pictures are photo- graphed by the three-strip method, a

special camera is used. These cameras are manufactured by TECHNICOLOR and are furnished to the motion picture pro- ducer. They are available to him upon demand at his studio or on location.

Similar to color negative, 16mm color positive film has three layers of emulsion, each sensitive to a different primary color — red, green and blue. The commercial film is low in contrast and differs from color negative in that a positive color image is obtained by reversal development rather than a neg- ative.
