Coloring Black and White film/TV

*Wildcat* · 05-22-2015, 12:40 AM

There's a discussion on the I Love Lucy board at imdb about this. They've colored a select few episodes recently and of course there's gotta be some hard headed purists that believe coloring is unethical, dishonorable and should never be done no matter what. Seriously...They used those words.

The thing is they are not coloring the originals, nor is B&W being replaced. That would never happen. They're making colored versions because well...its I Love Lucy. Who hasn't wondered what it'd be like in color.

I think they're pretty cool. Except the faces seem kinda off. Which is probably expected since they move and show expression but given cgi and stuff nowadays coloring should be a cinch I'd think.

Anyway my point is I see nothing wrong with creating separate colored versions. It's just meant to be fun to see. I'd buy both B&W and colored series if they end up doing it.

I just hate when people get all pretentious about stuff...Oh so-and-so how dare they do this. To quite literally make a federal case over it. Nothing is being ruined or replaced.
