technicolor was a great look. the film stock was super saturated to the point where it impaired focus. but the thing that has changed over the years has little to due with technicolor. it has more to do with the way films are lit today. in technicolor's heyday films were lit with carbon-arc lights. these lights produced an even beam through the color spectrum. todays hmi lights don't produce an even beam, rather, they concentrate on certain parts of the color spectum. also tech. has progressed to the point where films are being lit with l.e.d. lights. things change, but don't look for the technicolor look to reappear anytime soon.

cheers,
