The early days of both television and film\u00a0<\/strong>were\u00a0only black and white<\/strong>. Industry professionals recorded and broadcast information in monochrome,<\/strong>\u00a0which carried only variations in the tones and contrasts between light and dark areas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As advances in technology made color a necessity, black and white television and films became relics of the past<\/strong>. Now, in the digital age, it\u2019s easy to take how far we have come for granted.<\/p>\n

Yet, there remain artifacts of a simpler time, a time of grayscale and celluloid<\/strong>, which we encounter in classic cinema and on late-night TV. For those nostalgic to bring those memories back to life, the art of colorization<\/strong> has become their greatest\u00a0hope \u2014 championed by an up-and-coming wave of digital artists<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
