That one point in 1966, as never seen before

Now, as St Kilda and Collingwood prepare to do battle again this weekend in the first week of the 2009 finals, new footage has emerged of their famous 1966 encounter. Most importantly, it is in rich, full colour and shows the game from angles not seen before.

Our Holmesby did it again it seems (or at least had a part in it).

How do they turn black and white footage into colour?

I have this image in my mind of a group of geeks with photoshop open colouring in each frame of the video but that can't be the case.

How do they do it?

The film was shot in colour by the BBC

Wow!....Awesome..no really, I'm just speechless...

To have additional footage of the most significant event in the club's history surface 43 years afterwards!

and tracked down by Russell Holmesby, the club historian...can't wait to hear the story of that hunt.

...and the timing of this is just exquisite...days before we slam the Pies and a few weeks before we lift the second cup...

..and this one will be lifted by Roo in his tricolour!!!

At the Launceston reunion, one of the auction items (went for 3 grand) had "that" photo in it. However, a little bit of "digital enhancement" had the Doc in Red, White and Black and Tuddy in Black and White.

Superstitious me, before a big game I always look for omens.
Has there ever been a bigger omen than this.
Praise them.

Apparently, the computer matches the shades of greyscale to a coresponding colour.

So a certain shade of grey is recreated in a specific colour.

Interesting, cheers.

Must be pretty time consuming, or else we'd have seen a lot more things that were filmed in black and white in colour, no?

Pretty sure it is genuine colour footage â€“ no doctoring or colour-matching.

The footage has been uncovered by James Weston of media communications firm WMC, who found the Rothmans footage in a Sydney warehouse

the BBC stuff isn't new back in 97 it was being shown on TV not in full but bits of it were Sierakowski water sking the week before the game and the after match stuff with Allen Jeans

Somehow I've never felt too much of an affiliation with the 66 flag, obviously because I was born over 7 years later. Maybe also because of the black & white footage.

After seeing that footage I'm almost in tears... seeing a team in RED WHITE & BLACK winning a flag.

Awesome... simply awesome.

God I love our club.

I hope more that almost anything (outside of the health & happiness of family) that our loyal, passionate supporters get to feel what those lucky enough to be there in 66 felt.

C'mon boys... do it for yourselves & do it for us

Yeah, I realise that. Moccha mentioned it above also.

Was still interested to understand the process of black and white to colour anyway

well im guessing it would be him sitting in his office getting a call along the lines of " i found a box of stuff in my garage in it was a film can of the 66 grand final would the club be interested????" Russell - Sure bring it in i cant pay you anthing for it

person- thats ok more then happy too help out
now back too the here and now it will be sitting in Russell's own collection but im sure he would be more then happy too give the club a copy at cost of course lol

it would be just one of 100's of " item's" Given too the Club back before the Museum by past players etc etc that have found there way too good old Russell's house

Thanks Moccha. Chills and tingles. Allan Jeans summed it up by saying that you wake up on the Sunday morning and realise what a wonderful world we live in. I'll take that!

Yeah but no but, my only prob with this is the number of years that I've been saying 'all I want is a premiership in colour"!

PS Roxanne, good to see you were also exposed to Milton Monster at a young age. Better hold your breath it's starting to tick/Better hold my hand , I'm feeling sick!
