Bi-pack color
film and video technologyIn bi-pack color photography in motion pictures, two strips of film are used to record two colors of the spectrum for the purpose of print later onto one strip of film. The technique of bi-pack color photography became economical in the early 1910s when the Kodak introduced duplitized film.
Bi-pack photography was, at one point in motion pictures, the most economical process of natural-color cinematography available, where color was needed and circumstances did not warrant the higher cost of three-color methods. By the late 1940s and early 1950s, with the introduction of monopack stocks such as Kodachrome, Ansco Color, Dupont Color and Eastman Color, favor of bi-pack photography and printing dwindled.
