Simulates the two strip Technicolor film process. More information on the process can be found in this article on Wikipedia
In the original process, a black and white negative was used, and a prism beam-splitter behind the camera lens exposed two consecutive frames simultaneously, one behind a red filter, the other behind a green filter.
After development, each print was dyed to a complimentary color of the filter used: red for the green-filtered images, cyan for the red-filtered ones. The highlights would remain clear, dark areas would be strongly colored, and intermediate tones were colored proportionally. The two prints, made on film stock half the thickness of regular film, were then cemented together back to back to create a projection print. This process is simulated in HitFilm’s Two Strip color effect.
