A Cinematic Timeline

A Cinematic Timeline

The Wizard of Oz (1939) is widely considered the cinematic piece that revolutionized color, using three-strip Technicolor to dramatically transition from sepia-toned Kansas to a hyper-saturated, magical world.

While not the first color film, it set the standard for using color as a narrative tool, transforming audience expectations for filmmaking.

This color palette takes inspiration from that transition and visually bridges the past and the future.
