If you enlarge the picture you can see DeMille with microphone in hand giving out orders.
But the star of this photo is the 3 strip Technicolor camera and this is why the color was so lush and beautiful.
If this photo was in color you could see the baby blue color of the camera.
The large film magazine holds 3 different color films and it is a very complex camera to run.
There is a check list before starting it with 70 items to check before you turn it on.
We have a circus film like none other that us fans like and I bet I have seen it hundreds of times and captured on Technicolor film for us to enjoy till the end of time.
