RE: Technicolor.

Do not think that because a new film has a certain 'tone' to its color, it means the film stock is bad. These decisions re: color are made by the director/cinematographer and can also be further altered in post production. Modern stocks from Kodak, such as their Vision stocks, and also Fuji's offerings are some of the finest-grain, most accurate 35mm film ever made. It's all about what you want to do with it.

Now, actual fade is the curse of some film stocks, and Eastmancolor up until the mid-90es was just horrible, losing all greens and blues, giving us innumerable 'red' prints in both Super-8 and 16mm films (and 35mm) over the years. I had to return an otherwise very nice 16mm print because the fade had turned most everything pink.

Best,
CC.
