Eric Grayson on History of Color in Film
Eric Grayson, of Indianapolis, has done major restoration on Seven Chances, a 1925 Buster Keaton film, and is receiving kudos across the film world for the incredible job he did to restore color – yes, color – to this rare film. It’s two-color Technicolor that he restored, over a period of 80 hours, on 4,440 frames. Eric recently spoke with Sharon Gamble about early color in film – and why it could be dangerous to projectionists! On Friday, February 10, at 5:30 pm, Eric will teach a 90-minute course on the History of Color in Film in The Toby at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. The class is free, but you need to register by calling (317) 955-2339. After Eric's talk you can see The Quiet Man, with John Wayne. Find out more about Eric Grayson and the world of movies at Eric's blog: drfilm.net. |
