Is Kodachrome an "offspring" of Technicolor?

[Mike Buckles]

Well, I like to think of them as "co-dependent"...one couldn't have existed without the other...Kodak provided the raw film stock, and Technicolor provided the cameras , devised the process, and did their special processing. What's facinating about the old Technicolor process is that since they used printers inks, it is not prone to fading,while later incarnations of color film were....guess they got it right the first time, eh? mike
