Ehh, they recorded onto three film strips at once, each a grayscale representation of one color, then dyed each one and combined them. I totally get what you're saying, but I feel like the sentence you quoted is a reasonable interpretation of that. At least they explained what they meant by it.
- sib 5y agoI guess... But it's sort of like saying "digital cameras[1] don't record in color, they record in greyscale," which is technically true, but also misses the point. By the definition they are using, even color film doesn't really record in color. [1] Other than the minuscule # of Foveon sensor cameras.
- robbrown451 5y agoThey explained what they meant by it, sure, but it is also a typical example of saying something that is not true to get attention, and then backing off of it. Gets clicks and such. A common example (also having to do with color) is "the color magenta doesn't exist." Yes it does, it is simply a non-spectral hue. "Magenta lasers don't exist" would be true, but less attention getting.
