You must love this technical "punishment." Yes the red colors, and to some degree the other primary colors have slowly died over the years. Most people forget that movie film is quite organic in its manufacture...contains leaves and tree bark for instance...a good explanation for the fading of certain colors. The yellow box people assure everyone(after a few law suits)that the fading is under control. I recently suffered through one of my earlier films and the fading was quite noticeable. The main problem occured with the reversal stocks used years ago. But then, who would know that 10-20 years later the colors would degrade? Some notable films shot with that reversal stock were "Woodstock", and a film I was associated with, "Monterey Pop." (Woodstock was all 16mm reversal stock blown up to 35mm.) Oddly enough, some of the very first attempts at color film including the Technicolor three strip process were longer lasting than later technology. ____________________________________________________________________________ -------->from John G.
